Completely agree, but I won't discount the cheapness of this organization. I've been waiting for a corresponding move to follow the Benetendi signing since it happened. I think they are looking for a legit return, but relief is first and foremost.

Not if it's mostly for salary relief.

Don't think it effects a possible TA market either way. More so teams that could be in on Correa if he becomes available again. Mets wanted him for sure. Would need to definitely move some players to make it work. Longshot, but could be beneficial.

Depending on how it unfolds, this Correa situation could benefit the Sox.

I think that's right .

Yeah

Sorry, exact opposite of what I heard...heard he had a deal done with another team. Sox may have actually outbid for him.

Wow was I wrong. Just seeing this...

I'm fairly confident whoever the alleged mystery LF is, it's not Benitendi.

Sure. Only reason I would question this rumor. Surprised they are spending any money before dropping some payroll.

.

No. They were talking to Brantley recently but no idea if that is what is being rumored.

So many incredible organizations

Man, I'm gonna be pissed when Houston gets Varsho and we see the haul. Would be perfect on the Sox. Will be a superstar in Houston.

You're a real beat off eh? His presence would be the positive subtraction, there would be a haul coming back to supplement his exit on the field. I didn't know I had to be so literal. And where were you Thanksgiving night when I let the good folks on here know the team was signing a starter? You won't find any time line that had that s%*# before me. By about a day. I'll take my L's but be consistent or f*** off and ignore me.

Suspensions, injuries, drama. There a couple things I know that he's done that were stupid. Nothing egregious or anything, but things that burn bridges. Again, this is before his private stuff, again I'm not referencing that stuff. Can't imagine that helps things either though.

What's that?

No idea.

Sorry, I worded that like a dumbass. Nothing I know if pending, but they are listening, I and would be happy to move him. 1 addition by subtraction. 2 his value is probably at its peak today, higher after Swansom signs.I believe I said on here right after his last injury he would not be back with the team the rest of the season and i believed he played his last game in Chicago. People can vouch that I've called this going back now. And long before his personal issues, and I am not referencing anything to do with that. I would put him almost as likely to be the Sox SS in 2023 as he is in ATL or LA. He is 100% not untouchable or not I discussions. That "like" is no coincidence.

TA going is real. Not saying its pending or anything, but it's a 100% a possibility. He's worn out his welcome.

Not yet. Still believe at least one bold move is coming (parting with Major League piece(s)). Moves they have been talking are pretty unlike the Sox. But doesn't mean anything until there is real action. Hopefully during these meetings, but thought something would have happened by now.

I ain't scared of s%*#! Except the lack of activity to this point...

I do too. Just a feeling.

Sharp decline coinciding with Spider Tack ban.
