I really don’t think Renteria has any say on where Eloy plays, if that’s where you getting at

So Cease has been a few ticks down on his fastball, but has been spotting much better. Wonder if that’s not a coincidence. Unfortunately he’s getting tagged on it.

I mean it’s clearly not a collarbone.

Well those sporadic injuries he always had make a lot more sense now a days

All I want to know is how Glenn sparkmann isn’t some long forgotten bum from the 70s

Moncada with the slump buster socks I see.

I suppose if there’s ever a day to try and loosen up your team, Glenn sparkmann is the kinda guy to do it against

I’m not arguing semantics with you. The fact is 3 years since starting to trade everything with a pulse, their lineup is in a similar position( I say better) as the notable successful tear downs 1 year before starting to win a lot of games That isn’t to say there isn’t work to be done, but they are in a good spot.

If we get an Eaton like return for McCann, that other team would be better off selecting a SoxTalk member to be their GM

Hard to say, because it’s two totally separate decision points. A lot of decisions will have to be made from 2024-2026, and that’s honestly not a bad a thing

Idk, Guillermo Heredia is preeeeeeeeeeeetty bad

Nobody can extend everyone, that's fine.

Thats two more that you could count on than the 2014 Cubs or Astros, it's also only year 3. Next year it will be at least 4 guys, probably 5, and possible even 6. I think this team is a lot close to arriving than many give it credit for.

Yeah most of the disagreement seems to be about what they're actually worth.

Agreed. I'm also fairly confident this is unrealistic as well.

Agreed. I'm just not sure that's at all realistic is my point. There seems to be an idea floating around that you sell just to sell when you're, well, a seller. You absolutely do not HAVE to trade bummer.

What do you think you're getting for Bummer that would be more worthwhile than riding it out? The odds are slim.

I've changed my mind on Colome, I think he's been pitching way above his head so let's sell high. Bummer I wouldn't trade unless it's someone you're confident can help you win baseball games in 2020, or a package of prospects you think you can flip for starter/RF help.

Hawk being aggressively wrong? Whoda thunk

The Sox aren't on his NTC Os , Sawx, Reds, Rockies, Tigers, LA x 2, Twins, Yankees, As, Phillies, Padres, Giants, Cards, Jays

A reasonable and level headed thread

I like all of these ideas a lot. I have no idea how realistic any of them are. Going into a year with: Grienke - Giolito - Kopech - Cease - Wheeler/Wood type signing / Rodon - Dunning - Lopez - Gohara would probably work. Jesus Sanchez could probably take over right by next year and now your looking at rebuilding a bullpen instead of a rotation which is a lot easier to pull off.

We're talking about Mike Montgomery for Martin Maldonado wtf. That is nothing more than a garbage for garbage trade.
