Definitely time to IL him. Nothing looks smooth for him. Quite an awful signing with a lot of red flags screaming stay away.

I don’t think there’s a chance he’s a future full time catcher. Platoon catcher is his best bet, if he’s lucky. I just don’t think the swing/approach is going to work at this level. He seems to react to the pitch too late and doesn’t have the bat speed/path to make up for the delay.

Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Astros and Padres are all going to spend on pitching this offseason. Have fun getting into bidding wars with them.

Sure there’s a reason, keep working on catching. It’s not like he was destroying the ball in Charlotte the last few months.

Because there are a lot of teams that will be in the market for pitching this offseason that aren’t afraid of big deals for pitchers. As you know, this isn’t going to be like last year where a lot of the big spenders are tapped out.

Good AB for Reed. Surprised at his WTP so far

Bassitt dominating with very average stuff. He is so lucky he got traded.

Out of curiosity, have you ever actually seen the minor leaguers that you praise so much?

I have a feeling he gets sent down tomorrow

Cordell....Collins K again on high fastball

Terrible performance last game and a half. Eloy is so awkward defensively. Detwiler can be DFA

Yolmer looking like he did to start the season

Eloy struggling to elevate

Definitely better positioned

Sorry, meant controllable pitching. I also think there’s not a chance in hell they land Cole or MadBum

True but come on, he looks like he’s never seen a high fastball. All he’s had is excuses made for him in this organization, but when you actually watch him live, you see why he struggles so much.

I know it’s extremely unlikely, but he’s far and away our best trade chip that you could unload for controllable assets

My god, Collins looking like Adam Engel at the plate. He is nowhere near ready.

Because free agency quality pitching is incredibly expensive and there will be a ton of competition. Instead you use Madrigal and others for controllable pitching and go sign someone like Gennett to play 2nd.

Good eye for Eloy

The A’s catcher is horrible at framing

Trade Madrigal for controllable starter

Haha he’s a Sox killer. Can it be the ASB again?

I’m by no means a Ricky fan, but I would say Cooper is a much bigger issue right now. I have no idea how they’re won so many games this year with maybe 10 actual MLB caliber players on the roster.

Sox might want to fire whoever is responsible for their defensive positioning scouting.
