I would have taken a flyer on JDM at 4x25 unless Scott thinks the Chisox are a POS team. Should have used those back-door channels.

It's OK to be cautious with the market. Boras loves when everybody is competing for his stable of talent.

Jose must be retained at all costs. For Machado and Bryce Hyper money if necessary. Next year is balls out for wild card blackout one n done.

Granted the Cubs and Bosox won World Series but then you end up in a cul de sac with bad contracts.

When Dombro stepped down last day the Red Sox analysts were pretty much assuming that JDM would stay put. It would not be shocking that someone would consider 4x25 if they really needed some offense. Maybe even a team in Chicago. Castellanos is a doubles machine but pretty clumsy on foot from what I have seen with the Tigs. He really stepped up for the Cubs so I expect an offer coming his way to stay right there. I think the really tall guys like KB and Castellanos tend to have trouble with their footwork in the infield.

This team is still racking up awards unlike recent years. Might have a Silver Slugger or two.

These are not good investments esp. in the owner's eyes.

All true. He was also told to be available for game 7 if they took the lead later but it was not clear if he was agreeing to do so.

Slight over reaction as they still have $4M to spend. They might have a line on a new group of boat people coming over.

Our track record of bringing in hitters might scare off some people.

Harry smelled more like gin than a rose. Hawk is not liked as an announcer outside of Chicago hence no Hall Of Fame.

As soon as Game 7 ended Cole was wearing a Boras hat and announced he was an ex-employee. Sounds like he is determined to move on from Houston Texas.

Count me in on the Moose train. Guys who can hit find a place to play. Guys who cannot end up in the middle of the Sox lineup. O/T The IFA analysis is a lot to digest. Hopefully the Cuban boat people talent pool will still flow our way.

Good stuff but I would not arrange plans around a first year player. Ideally they force you to pay attention and now you have some expendable veteran talent. I do not see a #1 SP riding the Red Line every fifth day.

Ideal for Fenway. L Chaim's first move as Red Sox strategist. WSox with two big moves to start the offseason.

A good pitcher could pay a big price for pitching an extra month several years in a row. He might lose a couple of $10M salary years down the road.

Castillo was already released by TX lol.

Gerrit Cole's sister might be available too.

If they signed Wheeler, JDM and Moose that would be a bounteous WS haul.

Houston tenemos problema.

Nats are just as good. Take your pick they might come back.

Consider that our offense made history at RF/DH an upgrade would seem in order. There must be a message in there.

Monster packages for veteran pitchers is a non-starter for me.

I can think of a lot of bad guys beside Osuna. Joey Belle for one.

Going with the Stros tonite. Scherzer is pushing his luck. The roof will be closed and pandemonium will ensue. I expect Scherzer on meds will have command issues. Altuve will be Game 7 hero. I expect Eaton will also step up.
