fathom

Padres have excess pitching and catching now...doesn’t seem though Sox have anything they’d want besides Vaughn.

I have a bad feeling the Sox trade Vaughn for Montas. No inside info, just a feeling.

They’ll probably trade Hosmer and Paddack to the Cubs now

Mendick really isn’t good.

Agreed but if they even were concerned about that, it seems they would have carted him off.

Might slightly optimistic take is if it was something serious, I doubt they let him walk all the way past the fence in RF without assistance.

Same as last year

Bummer going two innings after pitching yesterday.

Is that 3 times in 6 games a player left with injury now?

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.
