Look at Ray Ray Run

1. I dont think you can trade int money so I'm confused. The period already ended. 2. The sox traded for dyson to run bases in the playoffs.

my phone auto correct poor Jarrod to Jered as if he was a weaver. Smh.

I hear you 100%. I do want to clarify that there is nothing political about equality and fairness for all people. Thanks for the response.

why, I dont know.

All do respect 2k, its the same actors over and over and they're still here. Here's what is so disheartening imo, take it as you wish. The site deletes everything related to the bad post - that means the thoughtful responses and etc that I think the country needs now. By deleting the comments and allowing the poster to remain youre merely promoting his actions while also deleting proof of its existence.. I think tough conversations are important across all walks of life and if we're just going to ignore those and continue to let the hate filled posters spew and then delete those posts without taking action or having any discussion, its really changing nothing. I get that this isn't easy for you and respect your response. Have a good weekend.

huh? the title of the thread and the first post addressed this.

I don't think anyone thought Hahn has lost a trade to Theo in their dealings.

Maybe Hahn can give Theo a call.

They changed this to you cannot trade a guy you drafted now - even as a PTBNL - until after the conclusion of the World Series. So they have fixed the first year player loophole for the most part. Meaning the Sox can't draft anyone from this past draft.

Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked. I think the bad PR is something they may be weary of, but if the team doesn't really like him - and they would know through exit interviews and just day to day interactions with the players - I think they'd be more willing to move on. Trading a guy who opted out may not look great, but if the players aren't on board I would believe they may move him.

Have to figure it's still top 40ish prospect in baseball high, and then add the pitcher aspect to that and he's got some good value. I don't think the Sox explore that at all, but it's there.

Yeah, I read something about giving two lists being likely this year: One if you make the playoffs with the player you pick from this list If we don't, you pick from this list.

The Blue Jays have grabbed the first notable starting pitcher of deadline season, acquiring righty Taijuan Walker from the Mariners in exchange for a player to be named later. Both clubs have announced the trade. The PTBNL, per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (Twitter link), is someone not currently in Toronto’s 60-man player pool. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ I had read on this site that you couldn't trade someone not on the 60 man. That, quite obviously, is not true. This changes things IMO.

sigh......

Can we all just laugh at Eloy? Man what a clutz. The PIrates have been hitting the ball better than they did last night; I wouldn't be shocked to see them get to Keuchel a little today.

Problem with Lynn is he's peaked, and what you're likely getting is a steady decline and with his age and build/body, it could all come unraveling sooner. Although being a fat ass as a pitcher does have it's positives

it's a huge positive, always.

Agree 100% Deals like that are for one year wonders or teams at the back end of a window.

These guys don't get to be elite professional athletes by not caring about starting and playing. That's the competitive nature that drives them.

And heck, I'm happy for the guy. Really gotten to like McCann as a player and teammate in his time here. Ill hate to see him go but excited for him to get paid and rewarded for all his hard work.

Yeah, and why would McCann want to sign somewhere to be a back-up? He was already pissed the Sox signed Grandal and that he wasn't starting; he's just been a pro about it. He doesn't want to stay here and catch 1 out of every 5 days I'd guess.

I don't think McCann would have any interest in coming back; he has one chance to get paid and start somewhere to finish off his career. He's earned it. Plenty of great pitchers have had personal catchers, but their personal catchers weren't all-star caliber player. McCann has made himself a lot of money, and the Sox can't sink that much into catchers imo. Pretty strong words from a former Cy Young winner with a half decade in baseball.

Stone just said he's never seen a connection/bond/relationship like the McCann/Giolito one in all his years in baseball.

A game thread Visionary. Can't believe Lucas f*cked up the perfect game. Texted my old man in the 2nd inning that this was a perfect game in the making; Pirates have quit on the season, two "OK" players they do have are out, they weren't being patient and have never seen him or his change. The pace was in his favor and them swinging early was a great sign. The walk sucks, but NO HITTER!

Never forget when Rick Renteria called it a luxury, and not a strategy, for James McCann to catch Lucas Giolito. Dumb. As. Shit.
