I they will trade him along the lines of Sosa (who, just made an Uribe-like catch of a foul ball). I've yapped about the light returns on Getz' deals on these guys, especially when the other team is the needier party in the trade. I think they should try him in the pen (although, I think that Burke will end up there eventually so they could just go on with the inevitable and leave Fedde in the rotation).

My evaluation of these teams is that the As are good; the Diamondbacks are not good; and, like you said, we caught the Jays at a good time (sort of like the teams playing the Mets and Phillies, although both might end up bad this year). Sox are getting better, but they need more young pitching. They should have home-grown prospects in Charlotte that they can put into the pen and the don't. When Shane Smith returns, I guess they'll dump Fedde - but I would keep him (through July or until they can work out a reasonable trade) because he's a better pitcher than a lot of the relievers.

We need to get Hays healthy, hitting and traded.

No bueno for me on Chrome or Safari. But Firefox works fine.

I would leave it at "Don't want to see Bido again."

I say yes. Why not?

Sox played well against the As, who I think are a good team. The only lead the As had all weekend was in the 11th inning of game 2. Keep it up in Arizona!

Any concern about Roch's .666 OPS in Cape Cod, which I believe uses the wooden bats?

The hope is that the ones who throw 100 can be closers, if not aces.

A couple of weeks ago, he was a 1-innng opener (consecutive nights; 3/4 nights). But I don't think they are going for starter either (injury concerns, as I recall). He throws 100 but he gets hit; I guess the command isn't there. Unfortunate.

And why was Fedde pulled? He was doing fine. The starters have been pretty good overall; it's the bullpen that is terrible, Newcomb included.

Davis has been pitching in the majors since 2022 (and very well for the most part), and the Sox still control him through 2030. Love these service time rules.....

It's not like our farm system is anywhere close to top shelf anyway. And it would be nice if some of those prospects would turn into quality major leaguers. Getz is burying himself with his own poor personnel decisions, letting other GMs lead him around by the nose, etc. but he's not getting a lot of internal help either.

All the waiver-wire deals Getz does with Tampa, only to his team flummoxed by Getz waivee Scholtens. Running a baseball organization just isn't his bag. Getz just isn't good at this.

Didn't Harris hit a homer and make a big catch the other day? At least he's done something.

Eisert is really making no progress...he's actually regressing. He can barely hit 90 on his 4-seam. Cannon is a mess right now, but he can still throw mid-90s so there is something to work with. He's not the one to dump.

He should have pushed to dump Beni. I think it's just as likely that Getz just didn't want to be on the hook for that as JR just not letting him do it. Still, it's hard to understand how Getz gets so little in this trade when Toronto was the needier party. He either doesn't recognize leverage or refuses to use it. I don't anything much will be lost here...then again, look at freaking Mead with the Nats...some on here kept telling me that he had the chops to be good.

Other than Smith, the starting pitching has been good for the Sox (about the only thing that's been good). Excited to see Schultz pitch.

Doesn't look like much of a prospect, but maybe he is or will be. Still better than trading for an org guy. Would have preferred a pitching prospect. Return seems light, but that's just the way it is. When it is ptbl or cash considerations, I'm guessing it won't be much of a player.

True, but at least he's just squandering money and not real prospects who would be here in 2 years.

And had we lost, we would have lost on walks, infield hits and assorted junk. Nice to win a couple in KC.

Hicks is signed through 2027, with the Sox on hook for the entire 2027 salary ($12,500,000). Getz hoodwinked again.

Law says that Roch has "held serve" this season but hasn't taken another "step forward." Just stay well ahead of the pack. Tampa should be all over Lackey. He's athletic and they haven't had a catcher in years.

How about a bench-warmer?

What an awful trade that Hicks trade was. We have better pitchers in AAA (and on the Guardians). He's had 1 good year: 7 years ago. Naive, naive.
