There's a lot of smoke that the rest of the league might value Fields similarly to Trey Lance.

If Fletcher is only a strong side of a platoon then that is a really awful trade. I will wait to see how Mena does in the minors for AZ before shitting on this further

Kopech still all over the place and his slider looks bad.

Exactly why you don't take a 1B in the top 10.

It's ok to take that approach when you actually have hope, but there's not a lot of hope for this team for 3 years at least. The farm is just ok and they can't pick higher than 11th. They better be listening on Robert in July.

Same. I'll probably catch a game here and there when I'm not working(I work evenings) but for the most part the Sox are not a priority and I will definitely not be catching 100+ games like I usually do.

I want to be done with them but I can't quit them.

They're not overreacting. Nothing they've said is wrong.

Yep. Kopech's slider has been bad for 2 years. He has enough spin on his heater that it still plays at 94-95 mph.

AaAaAh I was raised by a cup of coffee!

Ok, I was too young to remember that stuff so I was just going by what I've heard over the years from people who were around.

Love the Homestar Runner reference As we all know, @hi8isis the SoxTalk poopsmith

Jerry could have had Camden Yards in the 78 35 years ago. He rejected both the location and the stadium design. This is his f*** up. It's up to him to fix it.

I wish they could dump Benintendi. I'd much rather have Fletcher/DeLoach/Colas fight it out for the two OF corner spots.

The organization thinks we are though

Did Fletcher look as bad as his box score?

I'd imagine Crochet is on the Kopech 2021 plan

Crochet hit triple digits

I'm not for fiscal responsibility, moreso spending public funding on things that actually help the citizens of IL. Like the medical debt erasure proposed.

He's also 20 and I'm sure a decent FO will try to see if he can gain velocity.

It's not about that they traded for Fletcher, it's more who they gave up to get him. Like someone else said, it echoes KW/RH's worst trades. Law had Mena 9th on the Diamondbacks list and Fletcher was ranked 20th in the Sox system. Does that seem like a fair trade to you?
