Not only that, there are only 9 positions on the field. We drafted something like 20 players! Where will they all play? Did these people not take math?

Mistake not having Seranthony throw to him.

Have you been like off in space or somewhere recently?

Talking about parades.

The Sox are finally putting as much stock in the character and personality of a player as their talent level. They have a type and the current roster and this draft class show it. Players that absolutely hate losing more than they love winning. Players that are athletic and bust it every second they are on the field. How many times this year so far have you questioned the effort of a Sox player? This is a team that is easy to root for and fun to watch. I give a ton of credit to Venable for creating an atmosphere that is allowing these young players to thrive. I personally think he is going to end up as one of the best Managers in the game.

Guys, I gotta say something…. It’s bullshit we gotta wait four days for baseball

It’s beyond the accusations. Teams just don’t like his attitude or personality.

$11,350,600 - $10,350,000 = $1,000,600

Perfecting his lawyer-speak to the press about how great the team was doing.

He was always a horrible teammate, and never was really liked. It was why teams couldn't wait to trade him, even when he was good. Now he is still the same person and not at all good. He's toast.

I like to think it was my 2024 trip to T-Mobile and me IMPLORING Vaughn and Sheets to pull the ball for power. I like to think Gavin telling the dugout "we got a hitting coach in the stands" was the moment the org realized that it's time to embrace the TTO era -- swing hard in case you hit it.

Scouting and coaching pulling in the same direction? About time.

Brady Cunningham no matter what.

add 3% if Getz put it on a credit card.

I would say high. In recent years Sox have had strong interest in local top players - drafting Schulz, Wolkow, Fauske.

Let's run this winning streak until we run out of world time zones to start the game thread.

Are these guys conjoined triplets?

I watched this today. The Sox and all their FO people are so transparent about what they are doing. It's so refreshing in contrast the KW cloak and dagger act. Turns out they hid what they did because it was so bad. And Frank Thomas still gets a bad rap from his dealings with KW. The one guy who should've gone down in history as one of the greatest RH hitters of all time in the era of steroids is now deemed bitter when he actually was dealing with idiots.

You get a lot of wealthy alums in the south that love baseball

hopefully the next Sox asg will be at the new stadium 🥹

I guess he wasn't kidding about being ready to sign ASAP lol

I believe they will have two teams as soon as their new facility in done in the like next year or so

I’ll never forget after the Sox took Madrigal 4th overall, Madrigal said he was surprised the Sox drafted him because he hadn’t even spoke with them. That just struck me as being a bare minimum that wasn’t done on THE FOURTH OVERALL PICK.

That would be nice but remember it takes two to make a deal. His agent may think the best course of action is to go FA and see what develops.

Not sure what the pitching matchup will be yet, but it would be nice to keep the momentum going with a road win after the break. Lineup will be posted in five days.

Was there earlier in the season when the Sox were in town. Cool park. Great city. The PNW is easily now one of my favorite places on the planet. Have a great time!

Alot depends on the CBA. The owners are pushing for a cap and also a floor. We have very little on the books right now and if there was say a 175m floor, we'd have to spend a ton just to get up that high.

And in case you run out of time zones during this winning streak, there's always the proposed Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC). Timekeeping on the Moon - Wikipedia

This is a poster who understands their assignment.

I’m not saying it’s not a smart trade. But the centerpiece of the return was a draft pick, and the two assets that went were major league players. When the centerpiece of the return is a draft pick, if you have to choose to categorize it as a “buy” or “sell” trade in the trade deadline sense of the term, any logical person would classify it as a “sell” trade. Again, I’m not arguing that it’s not a good trade, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a “sell” trade. As you say, we’re building and trying to build up a pipeline for now and the future, so that we can don’t have the well run dry when prospects graduate. Part of that involves some of these “sell” trades, even while trying to level-up during your competitive window.

If you mean classic in the sense of it being from a bygone era, then sure.

Seeing the Sox at #27 in the Tankathon standings is such a welcome change.

JR will love me for this, but I'm thinking do nothing at the deadline. There isn't a real surplus anywhere to trade from. It's just digging a new hole to fill an old hole. What little they could add might get them to a second round loss instead of a first. They are ahead of schedule and expectations. And I expect them to overpay and under scout.

2B. Lowe is a free agent after this year

Griffin is hurt. Gonzo gonna play ss. I believe Lowe is a FA at the end of the year. Gonzo will either play 2b or 3b with Nick Gonzalez playing the other.

This has been a fantastic draft. I may go as far to say the best draft they've ever had. I feel pretty confident the first 3 picks will be big leaguers. That really sets you up to take a lot of risks and go for development potential over floor. They might not have a single big leaguer with picks 4+ but I like they took a bunch of "if" (if x develops they might actually have something).

With Hicks having 15 Ks with no walks in 8 innings since his return from injury and Shane Smith possibly coming back, I'm afraid Getz might do next to nothing at the deadline. Especially if we tread water after the ASB.

Via BA.

Solid college numbers, seems like another good addition.

After the recent play, is the smart move to buy instead of sell?
