This is less than ideal...

I guess this was a big vote of no confidence on Pereira's defense. Wonder if there's a concern about EP in the clubhouse or something too.

The great Getz prize was DFA’ed?

Yes, because he was DFA’d before the deadline and was traded beforehand. We are running out of time to trade Pereira.

Of course he is

Tf I'd have assumed he'd have some value. Unless they're trying to sneak him through now.

Romo must have Jerry’s nudes somewhere or something.

They have to hope that Quero works his way out of his funk, because Romo stinks and Bart isn’t much better. Decent backup but we won’t want to see Bart with starter at bats either.

Right as he was turning it around...terrible to give up on him over Doyle.

Could still see him in a trade...didn't the same happen with Davit?

Can we have Y. Gomez back?

Was he out of options?

5.5 out of wildcard; 2 behind Pirates. They've won 4/5 post ASB series. Guess they just want to play it out.

Thanks for Sunday

We just somehow added a catcher and got worse at the deadline.

What the f***? This Doyle dude is going straight to the major league roster it seems.

What you guys are saying. I also view this as - we have a front office who has shown an ability to actually develop position prospects. So I think we have better quality prospects and confidence in our ability to fill holes internally (more so then the past). And this just isn't the year to go swing, if this team was in first place and looking good, then I would have been all in on trying to swing for a Skubal...but reality is, this was more of, lets get do this in a cost effective way that hopefully helps reduce wear on the arms / pen (starter and reliever) and fills a big hole (catcher). I think Sox still have a solid chance at making the post-season and at that point we see if we get on a true run. Quite frankly, if they went all in, I still don't think their win the series odds would have improved that much (vs. just get in and see if you get hot) because the team naturally just has a good amount of unknown given how fast they've risen. While in the micro, I might have done some moves different - in the macro, I think the approach taken by Getz was the right one (so far).

I think Brazobon has a chance of moving the needle. Otherwise I agree.

Per the Sox

Perreira is DFA

Griffin was one of the best rentals available and in his start against us he threw 7 innings of two hit ball.

Yep Pereira finally did something good, and DFA'd. I have a feeling we're going to stick with Grichuk and Hays will be done away with as well.

Pereira is the corresponding DFA apparently, which I think is dumb.

Thinking about it, you are probably right. Even if the Sox make the playoffs probably the lack of post season experience would come into play if they have to face the Rays or Yankees in a five/seven games series. Both teams won the season series vs. the Sox this year. Plus who knows what the new CBA will be like or even how many games will be played next year. So you wait and bide your time. And of course, Ishbia may be in charge at anytime.
