It's starting to seem like the ability to lay off sliders out of the zone emanates from Grandal and since he's been out of the lineup nobody has been able to do it.

The Sox starters for the Cleveland series have all been switched to TBD so the speculation is that Lambert is going to get a spot start to give everybody an extra day's rest. But it also could be because he's been traded. Or being pulled just in case either of those things needs to happen.

When I saw that Gallo had been pulled from the lineup I did a twitter search on Gallo and that's one of the tweets that showed up.

Better that he goes to the Yankees than to a team that's actually going to make the playoffs.

To be fair, you can find similar tweets for about five other teams.

This must be what the foodies were talking about. Unless it wasn't.

Wait, I missed something, what's the deal with Cease?

If the cost is going to be similar I'd rather have Baez.

With Escobar off the board, might as well expand this trade to include Baez.

Ridiculous that the Sox didn't beat that offer.

Bubic is a lefty.

This. There are a lot of guys out there. Someone is going to be available for the right price. Sox need to stop worrying about the 2025 depth chart.

Who are the big fish and what prices are too big? I'm gonna be pissed if the Sox failed to get Escobar because they weren't willing to give up some guy that might make the major league roster in 2024.

What is the benefit of saying there's been a move and not telling people what it is? Trolling for followers?

Need @manbearpuig to get tonight's thread up!

He shouldn't come back until he's ready to catch. Too much of a roster crunch otherwise if you can't send Zavala down when he's back.

Today is the 9th anniversary of Escobar being traded away by the Sox. Let's bring him home today.

Some guy named Phelps. Supposedly used to be good swimmer himself.

The only even lukewarm rumor involving the Sox is Tepera. He'd be nice to get but I'm started to get worried that the trail on Escobar and other 2B options has gone completely cold.

Yes, SS/CF/C are the hardest positions to play. Because only a fraction of MLB players can capably play those positions defensively, the offensive threshold for being viable at those positions is lower. 1B/LF/RF are the easiest positions to play, so the offensive threshold for being viable at those positions is higher. Tim Anderson's offensive numbers make him an All-Star shortstop, but if the only position he could play was 1B, his offense would be nothing special.

We want the Sox to get good relievers so they can stop wasting Kopech in the bullpen.

So Reynaldo in line for the win just like everybody expected.

Nobody writing a movie script would write something so dumb as intentionally walking Abreu.

Well Tony's only the second dumbest manager tonight.

That was a very different type of Launch Engel.
