Its not the manager that can fix the attitude problems of players that get paid by the Sox before they accomplish anything. Theres no way through that fog.

Media and fans fault.

I have a feeling that as much as the roster gets beat up, rightfully so, the organization can’t put them in the right situation to succeed. Because the players know the organization is a clueless joke. Im sure they have some level of pride. But they must know their abilities will be wasted here anyway in terms of applying them on the field for a winner.

I guess I understand the trade if they did their homework on it. But the failure to choose a lane overall is the remaining problem. Contending in ‘24 ffs. Really? Straddling the fence means your balls get splinters.

Just the latest attempt to cheat the true scouting process with another shortcut.

What a s%*# show

He chose a direction. Save money. Magic eight ball says: Check back later.

It feels wrong. It feels dirty. IDK. But I support intelligent moves over sentiment for sure. I wonder if we are getting ready for life without Cease

The Sox have hipmotized their fans into dysfunctional thinking

Cronin and Shaw. And some people claim there can be no tank. Oh, there's a tank.

in the minors we have the next Randy Johnson. The next Corey Seager. The next Aaron Judge. The next Tony Pena. It’s going very very well, super high rated.

Ugh

Well if you’re gonna be the organization that collects first baseman catchers and DHs, may as well try that approach

Sox do like the live arms

5’11 catcher?

Yeah that was a confusing stipulation

Hence, the difference. Not that the Sox have a better chance of making good decisions after any firings. But you gotta crawl before you can walk.

Burger is it.

stick with Burger! BURGER FOREVER! (Or at least until such time as there becomes a better plan)

Honestly I always say never trade low on a young ish guy. But I have lost faith he will ever have more than one season of health in him at a time. Which is against the odds as well. I say it’s worth doing to trade him now if there is some reasonable return out there.

Fify

Well from what In reading, the Cubs pick was more of a Happ type. At this point I prefer a more focused SS prospect. Although one can argue that a utility player is important in the Sox situational uncertainty condition.

An important detail as the final score, given the context of how the team has played the entire year

It may be time for a stupid and futile gesture.

They don’t have to say it’s over. They also don’t have to indicate a self-delusion. Just talk about competing etc. Blah blah blah blah blah.
