Targeted? You think the ICE agents somehow made that lady show up, obstruct their law enforcement activity and then proceed to hit one of them with her car. Thats ludicrous.

You mean when the lady went from obstructing law enforcement to trying to run a law enforcement officer over? Last I checked, its been well established that deadly force may be met with deadly force. Pretty easy to avoid being shot due to attempting to hit someone with a car by not attempting to hit someone with a car Certainly wouldn't be considered an assassination. Wouldn't she be a law abiding citizen either, such as was the case with Kirk

The response was in relation to how nonsensical your response was. You claimed people who thought Kirk assassination was a bad thing have subsequently been celebrating assassinations. I pointed there hasn't been an assassination since Kirk, and you respond "exactly". Makes no sense, you see

Not sure how any decent person wouldn't be offended by a law abiding citizen being brutally murdered in front of a thousand young college students. There hasn't been any assassination since Kirk so not sure what youre referring to there either.

Kinda strange how the guy who promoted peaceful public discourse is considered the extremist by the same people who celebrate his public assassination

Ain't no pearl clutching like a soxtalk pearl clutching

Mead was the Rays' number three prospect only two years ago and has like three hundred something career ABs. Not sure he's a guy you want to just dump. Maybe during the season if he hasn't shown anything

Antonacci was hit by pitch an incredible 35 times last year, driving his OBP to Meidrothian levels

Have you considered a career in politics?

As was Munetaka

Might even see a sub hundred loss season!

Dang. Seems kind of pointless then

I believe service time rules would still apply once the contract is up

Do you have a credible source for that

I was talking about Teel

Mead was the Rays' 3rd ranked prospect a year and a half ago and is 488 PA into his MLB career. No way you keep a minor league reliever who isnt even ranked very high in Sox lists over him. Keeping Palette over the two rule 5 selections because they spent a 2nd round pick and 1.5 million dollars is sunken cost fallacy. If the Sox think the two pitchers are better pitchers is all that matters there. Whether they are correct I have no idea. Hudson over Palette might be most questionable, but I have to say his major league numbers from 2024 look pretty damn spiffy. I'd imagine that the odds of Palette ever putting up those kinds of numbers is slim at best. Hill I think they must have planned as member of 26 man roster. The idea they have three spots open for a bat and a couple arms seems reasonable so might as well let whoever you'd end up cutting anyway. Basically did Palette a favor there, since whoever took him will presumably have to give him mlb time

If Taylor is developed into an elite closer, I wouldn't be complaining

What if it were for some one like James Wood. Then you still have Quero and Lee with outfield of Wood, Robert and Montgomery by August hopefully. To me Quero seemed to have better skills behind the plate anyway, although not sure what the numbers say.

Of course he's drawing interest. Probably has a good investment manager

When Benintendi was signed, he was supposed to be a complimentary player to the core of Abreu, TA, Robert, Jimenez, Moncada, Grandal, and Vaughn, not a cleanup hitter. Most of those had contracts with individual seasons at higher rates of pay of Benintendi. The idea he was signed to be a center piece of the Sox lineup is a rewriting of history. He was supposed to be a solid bat at the back of the lineup. Obviously, it didnt work out that way

How you going to name your kid Ben, when your last name is Rice
