He looked to be in more pain than anytime last year with it.

The scary thing is if this is something that lingers all year for him.

Giolito, Cease and pray for rain

I can’t see Kopech going more than 3 innings anytime soon. You now have three starters, including Lopez, that are going to need a ton of relief innings behind them.

Just thinking out loud, but if Lynn is out a month or so, they absolutely need to trade for a starter. I have no idea how they fill a month worst of games with innings right now.

He has really impressed me. Team like the A’s, Pirates or Orioles should really give him at bats.

Lynn didn’t exactly come into camp in “the best shape of his life”. That can’t be good for his knee issue.

If that’s the same knee from last year....he’s going to be out a while. This is getting ridiculous. Go trade for Manaea.

A little of everything. Defense was brutal in the 2nd.

We have a bunch of catchers who can’t catch

He just looks awkward the last two years after being so fluid preciously

That’s with someone like Sheets

With all due respect, I really hope Suzuki is a massive bust. One, because I hate the Cubs. Two, so I never have to read about him again on this site. Lots of angst for a guy the Sox were never, ever linked to.

Think more long-term like Kath or Ramos

Vaughn was a universal top 25 prospect. Madrigal wasn’t even top 100 for some.

On the WS Talk podcast, Stoney implied the Sox are very high on Manaea. He made it sound like it’s possible they could trade from their farm system for him, but he didn’t sound like anything is imminent.

I think we see why Sox prospect rankings were bad in the past

He’s dinged up now

People should be asking themselves this when considering trading Vaughn....would the Tigers trade Tork for this package?

Nah, injury issue is scary for Castillo

Kopech is a glorified opener right now

Not that this is an issue to be upset about, but I wonder who the odd man out is if everyone is healthy against a LHP? You have Abreu, Eloy, Pollock, Vaughn and Engel for four spots. It should be Engel, IMO but I don’t think the Sox would agree.

Yes, yes, hell no

Might not even get you one guy

Who would you like to see given up for a pitcher?
