I'm not, like I said earlier it's easier to accept that the players just suck now rather than them not trying.

Is there another one year bad contract that the Sox could swap Moncada for to get him off the team? Also you have to consider not picking up Eloy's options at this point or trading him.

Just further proof that they need to go scorched earth and Hahn needs to be fired.

I did not want to believe this. Makes me sad. It was easier to believe that they just suck now.

Fun that all of their pitching acquisitions had a s%*# debut, other than Carela.

They took him out for Kelley

I swear to god even the Royals and Rockies aren't this dumb.

Ew.

Hahaha

He's out of options, so I would actually stick him in the pen at the MLB level and try to work things out.

Here I found a pic of Hahn while Kenny makes a deal with the Marlins

Agreed.

This is an awesome signing, much needed help. Now go get Houston too.

I thought this was pretty cool.

Edit: wasn't there

It is possible that Hahn is in Time Out until the end of the season when he will be relieved of his duties. Harold has been hinting about this. Hahn spoke like someone who knows he's fired Tuesday.

I did not know that Eder's stuff backed up so much after TJS/foot injury. I'd still rather have him than Burger, but the trade is more questionable with this info than beforehand. I do not expect the Sox to help him get his mid-90s stuff back as the org has no track record in that regard.

Also, wasn't the ball really dead last year? This could be what happens to Cease when the ball isn't dead as a doornail.

If Cease has an ERA close to 5 at the end of the season, that almost forces the Sox to hold onto him until next July/August.

You saw what he did today, right?

I've never been a huge Cease fan. You can't have the amount of success that Cease did in 2022 consistently when you walk as many batters as he does. His true level of performance is closer to 2021 and 2023 than 2022 and offers in trade going forward and yesterday were probably based on that expectation. The offers will only get worse from here. 2022 was his career year, I doubt Cease gets anywhere close to that again. Also, if the Ks start going away then his value really craters. He was having a hard time striking hitters out in 2019-20.

Grandal and Andrus should be DFA. Give Sosa and Lee a look. s%*#, I'd give Patino a look too.
