Yeah, they were obviously incredibly bad last year, but you need a lot of bad luck to lose that many games. Plus, didn't the bullpen blow like 35 or something games when they were winning in the 6th or later?

They will win 57 games.

Not every move by another team is some incredibly calculated genius move. The Red Sox must have set themselves up incredibly well when they traded Mookie Betts, right?

Okay? Angels fans have never seen Mike Trout in the playoffs and just saw Ohtani win it the year after he left. Angels fans probably should be more miserable than us.

Angels had the two best players in the world and did literally nothing with them. Not sure about the Mariners.

He was a coach for the Yankees longer than he was with the Angels. He also was with the Giants for a year.

Well good thing he won’t be making those calls in games.

You quoted him to begin with on something he would have not liked that.

He is a special assistant in player development. I guess it has been a few days so some of you need something to be angry about.

Yeah but I think that was about the manager. Sounds like he is a glorified scout. Doubt he will be breathing down Will’s neck at the ballpark every single day. edit - in fact James said he is totally fine with him in this role on Twitter.

A minor league deal? Made some money but probably should have taken this whole baseball thing more seriously. Bum.

I would not get it in your head that this will happen at all.

First three picks need to be 2 Oline and 1 Dline guy. Would prefer OL, DL, OL but whatever order works. Hopefully it isn't Poles picking. Would like the third pick to be a center.

At least Caleb looked good.

He won't be out there anyway. I'm sure he will be hurt by game 25.

He is right, though. What would getting MORE starting pitching right now accomplish? You can't add another team for them to pitch on.

There is enough to worry about the with the Sox now. I'm not going to worry about a guy who might debut for another team in 6 years. Hope they can flip this guy at the deadline for something better.

I think he means the Sox think they'll be able to trade Booser at a later date for something better than Fajardo.

Maybe Cleveland’s buffet budget was out of control with him around.

Naylor to the Diamondbacks. Later, tubbo.

He is a relief pitcher. It can take like two adjustments and then all of a sudden they are effective.

Sat out for four years. Not a lot of miles on the arm.

I understand that, but he was saying the Sox making changes all of the time. Which, isn't true. They very rarely make changes. And, at least with this change it does seem like some larger organizational things are happening. Whether or not they are for the better remains to be seen.

We have? I always thought the argument was that Jerry is too loyal and never changes anything.

Made his MLB debut last year at 32 but put up .8 WAR which is probably better than any Sox reliever last year?
