Soxfest

I am sorry no way this coaching staff can return as a whole, no reason to wait till offseason start cleaning house now. De Aza worst Sox baserunner in 25 years.

Offense lighting it up again how anyone would pay to see this team at this point is beyond me.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 3, 2013 -> 04:07 PM) This happened a couple hours ago. Nobody posted it. Probably nobody cares... Sox made a Wise decision.

Get used to it first base is Tanks future home very soon.

Keep on rolling to the number 2 pick!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 12:16 PM) 30 innings, 2 runs allowed by Masterson this year vs the Sox. Somebody needs s*** canned for this crap!

A deal will probably happen in August.

If he is claimed see ya later. Getting rid of his contract would be huge.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) There is undeniably an attitude problem with this team. It isn't the whole problem, there have been injuries, bad luck, aging, young players not taking steps forward, but also attitude. It has not felt like many players on this team cared about the results of games for much of the season. I have felt all year some veterans are too comfortable and are not held accountable for anything. This has created a attitude that cannot be repeated in 2014. Rios is a part of the problem and solution.

Rios in the lineup now just posted.............hurray!

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:18 PM) One downside to this deadline though, I was really hoping to see Avisail get some time out in the OF from here to the end of the season I think you will get your wish in September. Sox do not want waste a option on him, Detroit used one already this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) Now that the deadline is over, there's only one thing left to do..."Lose this whole f'n thing" All the Sox have to do is play like they have all year.

Pirates are just losers FN go for it. You have a winning record once a decade. I would pissed If I was a Pirate fan.

I look for Rios to be a problem for this team attitude wise, I really wanted him gone.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:02 PM) Same here. I was just telling my son about that last night. I remember the Randy Johnson deal 1 yr at like 11:59 PM that was good stuff.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) I still see a lot of what is saved not being reinvested back in the club. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see the team adding another 20-30M in payroll this off-season. I see them maybe adding 10M in payroll which isn't all that significant. IF they unloaded Rios and Ramirez, then I could see the club dropping 20-25M in the off-season (potentially). However, I could see the team target some young players who will be due bigger contracts sooner and land those players and then extend them. Money will not be reinvested in 2014 I agree. Next season may be a year of treading water till 2015 then open the wallet again.

Trade deadline needs to be later in the day............I liked the old days of midnight EST.

I wish Floyd would of not got hurt, would of loved seeing him traded.

Keith Law as ESPN not high on Garcia says he has no plan at the plate...........Shocking

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:19 PM) Actually, might not be all that interesting. The Sox are sitting there with a roster right now that they could field in 2014. They need a couple bullpen arms and a bench to do that, but if they wanted to, they could do very little. It will be a long long boring winter I agree.

Pirates have worst RF production in baseball...............make a deal for Rios. Make a splash Pirates.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:11 PM) If you don't eat the money, I'm not sure you'll find a deal at all. Deal is DOA without it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 55s Time running out to move Alex Rios. Last comment from Rick Hahn: "There is no urgency to make additional deals." Sorry Hahn feels that way. I think it is bluff 101.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) I really am surprised Dunn isn't attracting at least some buzz. The dude is raking over the past two months. Money would be an issue I guess, but Sox should eat some. He would fit well in Baltimore.

Hope they find a taker for Rios.
