Goes for anyone on the 26 man. They probably have to wait until there's 3 years left on Robert’s deal before anyone would be willing to trade for him.

Tony was shitty but Pedro is just as bad

Nice going, Pedro.

I was making a comment about Grandal's baserunning.

Who is worse? Pedro or Tony?

I don't see any path to contention between the MLB roster and the minors before Robert's contract with the Sox is up.

Anderson is so bad right now though. He's Alcides Escobar. I guess you could pick it up and hope for a better season but idk. I might be being a Negative Nancy but I think Anderson might be done being a productive player.

I think a legit question is if you pick up Anderson's option for next year or not. This is 2 years in a row of a major power outage for him.

You kinda have to trade Cease now. I think you wait on Robert and Kopech to repeat success. I think other teams might be wary of a 2019 Moncada esque mirage from Robert and I'd want to see him do it again before giving up a Juan Soto package for him if I were another team. You start talking about Robert and Kopech at the 2024 TDL and you start talking about Cease now. All 3 should be traded.

f*** off Grandal

Cease is so back, they should trade him.

No, Hall has 2 years left on his deal. I'm pretty sure they acquired him to play with Bedard.

Too bad he has no help

Dese guise suck dey're all garbage /chicagomeatballfan

You gotta be bleepin' me!

I have not been able to find the origin for "gork shot" anywhere

I'd try to get something similar to the Sale/Quintana/Eaton deals. Those were good at the time but it's a shame Giolito has been the most consistent player. Nobody knew those guys were all gonna get hurt and lose their talent.

You think they're going to win anything by the end of Robert's deal? I don't.

Why keep Robert, Cease and Kopech? I could squint and see why to keep Robert but Cease and Kopech are gone in two years anyway, and Robert is gone at the end of his deal so what is the point?

In a normal year he would have had his innings at least built up a bit. It is possible that he got injured again and became reliever only. Based on the info they had at the time I think it was a worthwhile gamble. They lost on him, it's ok. He was throwing 100 mph from the left side, those guys don't grow on trees.

I really liked him coming out and was excited when they drafted him. It didn't work but it's a gamble you take where they were in that draft. In a normal year Crochet wouldn't even have been available at 11.
