There's already so much out of position dead weight in the OF, sure, let's add another guy we're not sure can contribute. Easy pass for me.

That front 3 SP rotation plus Soto gets you nowhere. There would be no point trading for Soto if the target isn't winning a WS 2022, 2023, 2024.

This window is closing faster than you think. Giolito, Anderson and Cease will be free agents close to the same time Soto will be.

We need to truly look at this as a 2.5 year rental. Try to win one of the next 3 WS with him.

Outside of Montgomery (who barely is one), the Sox don't have any of these so called "elite" prospects to hug. This is why the price will be heavier for a team like the Sox. Good luck trying to compete with a stacked farm system on trying to trade for an MVP candidate like Soto.

It's total different times. This trade is in-season vs Sale being offseason. I believe the competition will be higher here as there are more teams who feel like they can win now and would be willing to push their chips to the middle.

You have to account for service time also. The two headliners we received for Sale had their full 6 years available to the Sox. The Nats would be getting only 4 years for each of Vaughn and Crochet.

I think the only deal that would get the Nats to jump on a call from the Sox would be Vaughn, Montgomery, Crochet, + 2 other fillers.

Kudos to the Astros. Fold the A's

Big Papi doing the Guillermo (Jimmy Kimmel) role for Fox. Baseball is such a beautiful game, especially with the collection of talent gathered there. Wish people appreciated that more and not need all the side Circus overload this has become.

I think anyone can jump on a microphone right now on the Score.

So Shane Riordan will be wrong again, and he can go off to burning down his kitchen cooking steaks.

Not trying to be offensive, but do you even know 2% of the day 3 remaining draft class? I think most of us have zero clue who any of these guys are outside of those drafted in the first 2-3 rounds based on watching the College World Series and reading scouting publications.

Just to get them on the phone it would start Vaughn, Kopech, +, +. This is why I noted from the start of this thread that it was silly to even discuss. The Sox don't have top 100 prospect power to engage in a trade for a big whale. It would take cost controlled personnel from the current ML roster to get the Nationals to even take a phone call.

Sox have been known to fix rather than screw up.... OK, not true.

Look at those awful Tony Sunday lineups. Just keeps punting games. smh

Yeah, I don't get how Ruth, Mantle, and Ted Williams are left sitting on that bench.

If he was selected to the ASG, by some miracle he'd be fine. These guys have zero heart and urgency.

Every daily lineup people just don't bother to sit back and analyze the situation and immediately go after the manager as if he's trying to sabotage the team. The Sox are back into a fucked up situation with being shorthanded. The all-star break can't come sooner.

I solely hang this one on Lance Lynn. Just a deflating performance.

I really like his stuff. I think durability is the issue here. But WTF, Kopech and broken ass Lynn don't look durable to me either .

So Sox playing short 2 players w no Eloy or Robert.

I wish LaRussa would be more transparent with these situations. He'd earn a ton of respect from people who hate him if he was indeed holding folks accountable for bullshit play.

Joe Kelly was impressive last night. If he can slide into the 7th inning giving Tony flexibility with ReyLo, bullpen will be in great shape.

Ok, right, so he deliberately walked into the path of the ball. He was hit going away from the ball, what are you guys missing here? The ball was smoked. Maybe run faster? Ok, I'll give you that then.
