Drake Maye had more guys open in the middle of the field last game than Caleb has had all year.

I hope the final landing spot is not the Padres, but I hope they are involved to drive up the price for other teams.

There is zero chance of that happening this year. Absolutely zero.

Go sit down Stevenson, you fucking loser.

Yep and now Poles job should be in question.

Caleb has missed guys and a few checkdowns, but for the most part he has had NOWHERE to go all game. His receivers don't get open on the handful of plays he isn't immediately having guys in the backfield.

It's already been decided he is a bum who will never work again. Sorry.

Hoping Roki to the Dodgers makes a team like the Phillies/Mets panic and really overpay.

Yes. A chosen screengrab of a 15 minute press conference can tell you that.

Only one that is kind of surprising to me is Thames. I figured Katz and Sizemore for sure would stick around.

Seems like Sizemore, Thames, and Katz are sticking around. I didn't hear anything about anyone else.

Red Sox trying to get it done before Winter Meetings?

Yeah I think you keep him in left and hope you can move him at the deadline, or worst case next offseason. He was an actual guy the last few months.

Ohtani’s contract makes that look way less lopsided than it actually is, though.

The idea just doesn't work outside of a vacuum. They desperately need to infuse some position players into this system/team.

Execs say s%*# like that all of the time.

Yeah I was on board for trading him but now you hold him and hope the new staff can fix him. There is no way they get the right value.

Only took until page 5 for people to be mad about hypothetical situations. Hell yes.

Also the game/data was much different then. Once everything became about analytics is when the Sox have been horrible, which it SEEMS like Getz is trying to drag JR into to.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong - but weren't there work ethic issues around him from pretty early on?

Give me Anthony and Campbell as a start.

I agree with this. Cease was coming off a pretty lackluster year and overall doesn't have as much of a "wow" factor as Crochet.

There can be positives and negatives happening at the same time.

So do they have a plan to sign ANYTHING this offseason or will it literally just be subtractions?

You don’t think a pitching or hitting director should look at tape on a guy they might trade for and give input?
