Valenstache.

Obviously you are referring to me, and you would be wrong. I liked him as a prospect before I ever even knew about his own personal beliefs. I believe Shaw attended the memorial service in late September. Nice try though.

Part of the thought would be to potentially move him to LF since he played there in college. Benintendi could DH until he is finally gone forever.

Keep #26 far away from him.

Shaw arguably outperformed Vargas in his rookie season last year by some metrics (not all), while Vargas was playing in his fourth MLB season. Shaw is also 2 years younger than Vargas (24 vs 26) and has 2 more years of control. Vargas will be a free agent in 2030. Shaw will be a free agent in 2032.

In that scenario, I assume Marsh moves to CF full-time so they don’t necessarily “need” Crawford? I think that trade makes sense for the Sox and I’d be aboard. Not sure I see the Phillies seriously going after Tucker considering they appear to have the outfield and DH covered already… Castellanos Marsh Garcia Schwarber I believe that’s already a combined $53.2 million dollars in payroll for 2026 for that outfield and DH. I know they want to dump Castellanos but at $20 million remaining for him for 2026, they are probably in a worse position trying to move him than the Sox with Robert.

He lost a ban bet to Chicago White Sox and is sticking to it honorably.

I’m not trying to spin anything. The article I provided said that he had the support of the team as well as teammates. Meanwhile, you stated that some teammates had a problem with it yet have not posted one article supporting your statement. So who is spinning the story now? Quite honestly, you can’t assure anything since you have provided zero evidence supporting your claim.

Really? Interesting considering he has no social media activity. I would think he would have that in place already if he wanted to be an influencer of any sort.

I guess I’m a rube. What specifically did he receive to attend? What business interests of his were impacted?

His team and teammates essentially said it was okay because he was considerate enough to check with them since he would be missing a game. However, I suspect if someone told you not to attend a funeral for a friend that you were invited to by the deceased's wife because you didn’t know each other long enough, you would rightly tell that person to F off. 🤣

So? Is that for any of us to judge? It’s not like he just attended without permission from his team and the wife of his dead friend actually invited him. Imagine someone telling you that you shouldn’t attend a friend’s funeral. I mean what is going on here?

Apparently WestEddy gets to dictate how long a friendship must last for someone to attend a friend’s funeral. The guy got permission from his team to attend and also made sure his teammates would be okay with him missing the game to attend. But since it wasn’t his mother’s funeral, he shouldn’t even think about attending? Okay… Link:

@TheBooneLoganEra already said it best in his previous post. Good luck.

Then it’s an even worse stance hating on someone over that, rather than thinking he is a bad teammate for missing a game.

The specific scenario we were talking about was a baseball player getting permission from his team and confirming that his teammates would be okay with him missing a game to attend the funeral of his friend. The guy did not potentially commit a crime, which was one of the comparisons made (Clevinger). I don’t feel I need to comment on this any further because quite frankly it’s ridiculous.

Funny to see the Red Sox not beat out the Cubs but their payroll is already much higher. I think the Cubs are projected at around $176 million and Boston is at $243 million.

It’s unfortunate that Matt Shaw did something so grievous to you that you would have to actively root against him if he was ever a member of your favorite team.

Link? Because it appears that @TheBooneLoganEra is correct.

Meidroth also has zero power potential.

He attended a funeral. For shame.

He played outfield in college and there has been speculation that the Cubs could try him there again with the Bregman signing.

Why are people comparing Bregman to Tucker. Is Tucker going to sign for $175 million?

Shaw wasn’t accused of domestic abuse. He actually didn’t commit a crime at all. I know your post is in jest but no one wants Cowles, not even the Sox.
