Ricky's just stubborn with his lineups. No way beef is back.

RF needs to be plugged unless you want Cordell, Palka, Engel out there. My guess is Hahn goes after somebody like Puig.

Great. The Padres get another chance to steal a player the Sox want. Which they undoubtedly will.

Youtube TV is the way to go. I cut the cord on Directv when they refused to lower their price a few months ago.

Consider the 2017 draft as an example of why 1 or 2 spots can make a difference. Pick 9: Keston Hiura MIL: having a great rookie season Pick 10: Jo Adell LAA: one of the top prospects in baseball. Pick 11: Jake Burger

Sigh. No Mendick again yet Skole and Palka keep getting at bats.

Check the whole Twins team.

My guess is Mercedes gets added to the 40 man prior to rule 5 in December. Especially with the amount of players like Skole on the 40 man who can easily be removed.

I would think an AL botton feeder team like Baltimore or Detroit would take him in the rule 5 and see if he can be a DH. No reason the Sox shouldn't give him a shot.

Disappointed we don't get to see Mercedes who has done nothing but rake at AA and AAA this year. Could be a DH option.

No reason not to call up Mendick and Mercedes at this point.

Hahn was counting on the playoffs as a good excuse to keep Robert and Madrigal down the rest of the year.

You think they should spend $30 mil on washed up Felix Hernandez? No thanks.

That's real smart. Eliminate yourself from drafting a hall of famer like Frank Thomas. Probably the best Sox draft pick ever.

Don't forget they are still paying paying Bobby Bonilla until 2035.

Not getting my hopes up after the Machado debacle last offseason.

I feel like they should make it a snake draft if they are going to do arbitrarily by division. That would at least allow the bottoms teams to pick first in the 2nd round.

This. If we are looking for salary relief with this payroll we are in trouble.

Another benefit of trading Colome would be that we would be able to see how Bummer would do in that role.

Yolbert was #5 on the 2018 international prospect list. I don't understand why people are upset about this signing other than the fact that he is 22. If he ends up being Yolmer 2.0 that is fine as the majority of these guys in the top 30 will never even make it to the major leagues.

I would be curious to know how Elijah compares to his brother at this age. Sanchez is intriguing as a replacement for Yolmer. Better defensively but not sure about the bat.

How long before we see pitchers wearing face masks ala women's softball? A broken face is bad enough but it could be a lot worse if one of those line drives with 110 + exit velocity hits a pitcher square in the head with no protection.

This game shows exactly why robot jumps are needed to call balls and strikes.

With the payroll so low next year there is no excuse for not going hard after Cole. I have zero faith Hahn and co. can land him after the Manny debacle last offseason

Bumgarner belongs on the royals with the way he reacted to that home run show up the other day. He and Tim wouldn't get along.
