IMO try to trade Grandal for Blackmon, kicking in a lower-end prospect or two if necessary due to the amount remaining on Grandal's deal. It's some immediate salary relief for COL. Or maybe Grandal + Ruiz for Blackmon. C Lucroy / Collins 1B Abreu/Vaughn DH Abreu/Vaughn LF Blackmon RF Eaton ...and it actually makes us a better team than we were before. Grandal lovers would certainly disagree.

Wow. this is much better for the longterm. If he ruptured it they can tack it back down and all is good. A tear in the middle of the muscle could cause long term issues. It sucks but could definitely have been worse longterm

“I’m thinking Nick Delmonico, we’re capped out in terms of resources.” “I’m thinking Arby’s, I have a coupon about to expire.”

I'm not sure what picture of Yermin you are referring to, but please send it to me via PM

Trade him to the Pirates?

JR being incapacitated.

Getting my first vaccine tomorrow! Can’t fucking wait!

I’d like to see them trade for Gallo. It will cost something of value, but that can be recouped next off-season by dealing from a surplus once Eloy is presumably healthy. We’ve waited long enough, let’s go for it.

To be fair, the question is: "who is that?"

Wouldn't hate Reddick

Again, real contenders have depth. Cheapskate pretenders stay cheap, and try to convince fans that everything can go right at once.

Like I read your stuff

Good call Dick Tracy, where'd you park the cop car?

NO NO NO NO NO! This kind of thinking finally lead a long time lurker to make his first post. The Sox front office and ownership group does not get to kick the can down the road another year. I was an anti-rebuild guy and I'm tired of being told to be patient. The Sox threw away multiple seasons on tank jobs. It is year 5 of the rebuild. It is time to make some serious noise and go on a World Series run this year. Enough is enough.

Gonna be electric when Eloy comes back for the playoffs and leads up to a title

You don't win the Postseason with 3 pitchers. It's going to take a lot more & at this point we can't go blow for blow with the top, top tier teams. Maybe we can win the AL Pennant, but this wasn't the WS year anyways. I know we'd like to think so, but it's not. You've got a buncha rookies who havne't played whole seasons let alone 200+ games including ST, regular season and postseason.

Acquiring Colas and Cespedes is what for me has made this offseason exciting.

“Check yourselfs” lol F off

Also having people argue the entire off-season that Leury & Mendick was enough position player depth sure was fun!

That’s why they’re stretching out Kopech and Crochet in the minors

Hope Eloy doesn't end up like Carlos Quentin. I realize what potential disaster Eloy was in left field, but an offensive threat like him is rare. A loss like this can't be shrugged off. I know that trades are easier said than done, but I think the Sox should do something to show their fans they are serious about making this rebuild. The team hasn't won 90 games in 15 years. We've had more than enough losing and also-rans.

STOP TRYING TO MAKE "FETCH" HAPPEN

HEY

I was wrong about playing Eloy. He was dumber than I ever thought even though he was still my favorite player. This kills the Sox for this year and complicates the DH spot moving forward. For me, this just destroyed my excitement for this season . I have waited too see a powerful Sox line-up like we had on paper since the '77 season Fuck the World. This Sox and Eloy fan's heart is broken. Cub fans rejoice. Fuck them too.

Vaughn runs like he has 2 wooden legs.

I’ve yet to hear of Vaughn hurting himself giving someone a hug or running the bases.

I have never seen anyone tear their pec hanging over the fence. Normally, that would classify it a fluke injury. But I don't think there is a fluke injury for Eloy.

But my Vaughn ROY bet just got a boost...

Your What Hurts?

That's one way to do it. "Nice health you've got there, would be a shame if something happened to it. Oh, have you met my friend Eloy? Here's a picture of him in his hospital bed. Now about that extension..."

Just judging by Hahn’s tone, I think they trade for someone. Vaughn talk likely just to give Sox more leverage.

It's much better as I posted. He won't have any where near structural issues in the muscle that he would have if it was a tear in the middle of the muscle and it involved more of the muscle fibers as opposed to the tendon.

Vaughn in LF is in play, according to Rick

Because he gets hurt doing the simplest of baseball activities, like celebrating and running

You're not a pro athlete. That's where you should have stopped typing.

Reinsdorf's immediate reaction: "So when exactly can I expect the payout from the insurance company"

Hahn on the phone, Jerry sneakily pulling the cord out of the wall

Jose will never get traded. He’s the key to our Cuban pipeline.

if the Sox don't absolutely decide here and now that Eloy is a full time DH, trade his ass next year, he's a huge liability if he can't play every single day

Let's start the clock on our #1 prospect and stick him at DH when we already have 2 everyday players that shouldn't be in the field AND the second best best offensive catcher on the planet who also needs plate appearances at DH. Our front office is aggressive in only the wrong ways.

How many times this offseason did we say we’re an injury away from having too many slappy hitters in the lineup. Welp.....

If Lucroy makes the roster and Collins is sent down, they either need to trade Collins or have him change positions. There is nothing more he could have done to make the team. If they choose a replacement level at best vet over him, it's time to move on, either from behind the plate or the organization.

Or, there's the connecting thread that all those guys sucked out loud at baseball, and couldn't play dead, except for Semien. I think my calling KW/RH "fooking stoopid" for trading Semien and a pile of other stuff for jeff fooking samardzjia (sp?) got me banned from WSI for awhile. [Those imbeciles at WSI were still all sacchariney-sweet on "In Kenny We Trust" back then.] But, to your point, yes, this org has sucked a horse's ass at teaching players how to defend. I think that's cogent in terms of discussing Jimenez's future position, if this org can't get better at helping him get better at defense.

Leave Ray Ray alone

Disappointed you totally missed the chance to name drop Toby Hall.

I absolutely hate that this isn't happening until 2022.
