This thread went from "Realistic trade candidates" to trading the entire farm plus absorbing $400 million for Mike Trout.

That would be Mike Ditka / Ricky Williams silliness.

The Yankees tend to get everyone whenever they want. They still have to play the games. They don't win the World Series every year.

No you wouldn't, and only a dumb team would. There's $400 million attached to that.

The Sox have never had a $100 million contract. Trout is $400 million +

sorry to have hijacked this thread, meant to respond in the trade thread.

Not knowing where Kopech's head is right now or going forward, I'd trade him first before I would Cease.

Getting something out Ross Detwiler (a similar first round burnout) has alleviated some of the Fulmer pain for me. At least we're getting some good work from Ross out of the pen.

You still should have gone with Gonzalez with Rizzo and Schwarb hitting that inning. It's little things like that liking for this skipper.

Problem is, he can't command one pitch let alone 2 to be an effective reliever. Can't relief if you can't throw strikes.

Reinsdorf has already left the writing on the wall with every chance he gets in talking Baseball Economics. The Sox are not spending on a big free agent next season. Please Sox fans, do yourself a favor and stop dreaming here once again.

Ricky survived the outcome, but only he can piss manage what was almost a perfect night.

And wasn't Cordero the only bullpen man used yesterday? Wtf. Burn him out, why not.

110 pitches and no one ready. Brutal.

The gap between Grandal and McCann was much less than say Castellanos and our RF situation. Or Wheeler and Gio Gonzalez.

Gas can Cishek sould have been shown the door instead of Ruiz IMO.

The Leury injury is gonna cost the Sox the luxury to carry a 3rd catcher soon. Leury being able to cover both IF and OF afforded them the 3 catcher project. I don't think they can keep this up, especially if a no position guy like EE stays on the roster. Maybe swap out Collins for Mercedes who can play LF in an emergency.

Stone on the Score right now not pulling punches again. Love it. Bernstein asked about Grandal and his struggles attributed to not having better video access (according to Grandal), Stone not buying the BS. Points out sarcastically what video access do Blackmon and Trout have?

While I 100% agree Renteria needed to be launched a long time ago, I don't put this entire pathetic start to the season all on him. #1 on my list is guys just need to hit as they were suppose to. Even the pitching issues would be covered if this team would just out-slugg people on most nights.

I never thought I would see an OF make Carlos Lee look like a gold glove out there. Eloy, just keep mashing bro!

Robert is just so smooth out there. Love it.

It feels like Mazara is always moving towards flyballs. Never camps under anything.

Yeah, I don't get the need to bring this kid in with the 5 run lead. He's going to burn him out.

Some people write to let off steam. I have no problem with that. Rather people do that then other stupid things. And when shits going bad like it has for this team, it is well validated.

It's called therapy.
