Good start. Hate these west coast games. I fell asleep before this one even started. Good thing an old man tinkle woke me up.

What restrictions on spending? Both Freeman and Muncy could be gone when Murakami becomes a free agent. Would anyone put it past the Dodgers to play Rushing or Murakami at 3B?

Freddie Freeman will be 38 years old and a free agent after the 2027 season. They could also opt not to pick up Muncy’s 2028 option. That could leave their corner infield open. The Dodgers will be the perfect fit, and regardless of Ishbia supposedly chipping in or not, the Sox won’t be beating them in the free agency game if LA wants another Japanese player to take over 1B for them. We already saw his buddy Ohtani helping him with his swing during the WBC. Murakami would have to more than likely want to stay with the Sox and accept a hometown discount. Sure, the Sox will have money to spend but they have to be willing to spend it, while also facing competing [higher] offers. And I have only named one team in the Dodgers that could have interest. Let’s be honest, anyone that has high hopes of Murakami staying is simply wishcasting.

They basically named a bunch of obvious trade candidates on one-year deals. We knew these guys would be trade candidates the minute they signed. Not really anything newsworthy here. I do like how they bothered to mention Hays’ mutual option as if those are ever agreed upon by both sides.

Political talk. Reported.

Like others have already responded, your Google search was flawed. You got the save percentage result for all MLB relievers, not just closers. A 66% save percentage would not be good for a highly payed closer, and I didn’t even need AI to know that.

You failed at Google. 🤣 But even without your failed attempt at Googling, you really thought a closer failing to save one out of every three games would be good?!? Wow…

A closer with a 66% save rate would be terrible.

Sad that still being bad could be an improvement.

Mune is legit.

If his only path to playing time is LF because he can’t beat out Meidroth to play 2B, there’s a bigger problem with this team. Letting guys compete and earn their spots. A guy with a sub-.700 OPS in two straight seasons shouldn’t automatically be the undisputed starting 2B.

Probably just protesting common sense. One guy thinks he is right about everything, the other worships and cleans the feet of Getz.

I think they have pretty much ghosted the site due to embarrassment. How much longer could you defend such an epic failure of a GM? The guy is setting records of futility.

You still don’t think an infielder could potentially learn how to play LF just because the Sox chose not to do it and you apparently trust Getz with your life. The real question is, when will you give yourself another self back slap when you supposedly predict something that our awful GM Getz or his dumpster fire team does? 🤣 We are all waiting, Barry…

I’d rather him stay in the minors and away from this cursed team.

Acuna, Hill, Pereira. They should be okay… defensively, not offensively. 🤣

Hopefully the laser beam that Kurtz’s hit off of Leasure didn’t decapitate anyone in right field.

Hush yourself, talking smack about The Big Hunk. Otherwise, your girl will like it too…

Funny how they seem to always go against the Sox. Just like their record in one run games. It’s a terrible roster that Getz put together and that’s primarily the reason they lose any game, close out not.

Seriously? Were you getting a hummer as you watched this s%*#? 🤣

No words.

Over the green wall.

Hanging out with my younger son so couldn’t watch the game. Who shot up the lineup with roids? Mune’s first granny? Even Acuna having a good game?

By the way, wasn’t McGuffey the same dude that was fluffing Getz in an interview with Kaplan right after the Acuna trade?
