Good effort, Dylan. Hopefully the pen can preserve the lead.

Yeah Garcia got hurt at the worst possible time.

Who gets the start tomorrow?

Keuchel has been really reliable. Glad we got him.

They need arms period right now. He is the most ML ready.

Bring up Dunning now.

Stay at 3 for life? Cause thats what is going to actually happen.

That 3 year Abreu deal looks awesome now (sarcasm). We have like 9 DHs pretending to be position players and Vaughn coming up soon.

Is he hurt?

But for what prices thats the key? The Sox are going to get into the expanded playoffs more than likely even with the current mess of a rotation, esp since the Angels and Astros look like garbage and we play the Tigers and Royals a ton. I dont want to sacrifice key future pieces for 2020. Just get into the playoff, anything beyond that is gravy.

Why? McCann will sign where he can start and we need a backup....being LHH with power is a bonus and Collins value will only increase once it goes to an automated strike zone in a couple years at which point he will prolly be at least marginally better as a C and Grandal's contract will be ending anyway. I see no logic to trading Collins.

They've locked up premium talent for cheap prices so there should be no issues, especially since I would not expect them to pick up Encarnacion or Gonzalez options. The Abreu contract is kind of a pain but I'm not gonna beat that dead horse again. In terms of RF, if they are still interested in Joc he's kind of struggling this year so we could prolly get him cheap.

I just looked at the schedule again....my bad you are right we are playing Sunday.

Very good. We are off Sunday so hopefully he will be ready for DET on Monday.

Eh...i guess thats not completely awful but it still sucks. Hopefully his rehab is good.

That doesn't seem like a good sign.

Wouldn't that be too many lefties in the rotation?

Nah Bummer is the future closer. Colome is playing with fire too often.

If Jose preferred Big League Chew, Madrigal might be alright and Kopech would be in the dugout.

Wouldn't it help that he was wearing a brace?

Well at least if its a break it won't sap any power from his swing....since there wasn't any to begin with.

Problem is the pen has been stretched already with few starters seemingly able to go deep into games.

I dont like the Basabe move.

Collins is going to be the primary backup C next year, and has some value traits (LHH, power, OBP) I wouldn't trade him.

Anderson prolly won't bat leadoff again lol
