There are some prize winners out there. Sometimes they are huge and hairy. Not quite sure how some dudes manage to subdue these sloppy things.

“Orioles placed RHP Kyle Bradish on the 15-day injured list with a right UCL sprain.”

It was a valiant effort but our team proved too much for you in its badness. Thank you for your service.

JR probably doesn’t even think that Crochet earned his guaranteed rookie contract. He most definitely GONE.

It’s 100% sarcasm. Some homer posters on this site were trying to argue that Flexen actually had some trade value once he moved from full-time starter to part-time starter / long relief.

Exactly. There is no rhyme or reason to Getz’s moves. It was pretty mucb one bad outing and it’s not like his ERA shot above 5. This is our top developmental mind? He’s an idiot. Way to crush a guy’s confidence even further after he has been pitching very well for the majority of the season. And to any homer that wants to disagree, Getz decided to keep proven bums/older relievers like Justin Anderson, Chad Kuhl, and Mike Soroka on the roster instead. What a terrible GM. Even @WestEddy couldn’t make up an excuse for this mid-management.

No, he has trade value. What’s his FIP?

Yep, that was strange.

Great callout. This will likely be another reason no team will ever give up a haul for a top pitcher at the deadline. Vaughn Grissom… lol. The Red Sox picked up $17 million of Sale’s $19 million dollar salary and got back a younger Romy Gonzalez from the Braves.

I’m assuming Robert won’t get dealt cuz no team will meet the demands. I think Fedde, Crochet, and Kopech will be traded. So yeah, we have 3 good trade chips and Kopech.

Unfortunately, by the time we get to the deadline, guys like Sheets, Pham, and DeJong will be closer to a .700 OPS than an .800 OPS and they aren’t going to garner much. We have two good trade chips and Kopech. Hopefully, Getz can get something for them.

Wait, I thought Flexen had trade value or something? ?

If this is sarcasm, you nailed it. If not, I hope those bath salts don’t kill you.

LOL! That’s like a little 12 year old trying to dunk on a ten foot rim. ?

But also “bad”.

Yep. Hindsight of course, but it’s very easy to argue that Cease was traded too early and Robert is now being shopped too late (after his big healthy season). But there’s still plenty of time for Robert to recoup his trade value. He just needs to stay healthy and hit well for a good long stretch.

Baseball is a young man’s game. Hopefully the Sox will also realize this one day rather than signing expired vets each and every offseason.

Awful if true. They need almost an entirely new lineup.

Nah, if this happened, it would solely be because Jerry is a cheapskate and wants to recoup that awful money.

That would be the final F-U to Sox fans from Jerry.

True, but is $49.3 million dollars more important than the good prospects they could get back for Robert and Crochet? I don’t think so. They have to hit on the return for these two guys without neutering the return. If they hit on a couple guys, that’s worth way more than $49.3 million dollars.

I can’t see any team willing to take him on along with his salary. Maybe if he could play CF, but he has shown no signs of being able to hit in almost 1.5 seasons.

Thanks.

Yep, I said as much in another thread, but with a Reinsdorf owned team, you have to deal him for prospects and hope for the boom of a prospect or two, along with the years of control.
