Ease up Spaulding

"Something something evil dark side!"

Plesac just predicted Harper or Machado will sign with the Sox. Which generally means it's not happening.

DOUBLE TURDS!

Poor Greg spending the whole time talking about his stupid ass poker game he made up.

I'm a super patient guy with this team. I cannot and honestly, not to WSD the team and make ultimatums and threats of mutiny, I probably won't watch them much this year if that guy is in the outfield more than once or twice a week. I know options are minimal, work the damn trade market, find a possible low cost guy we can take a flier on (Toles in LA comes to mind).

I'd add Engel to that list too.

And King Friday

Tony Larussa tearing apart Chris Russo on his show right now.

Pollock would be a good add for them too. He's injured a lot and wouldn't have to play every day with all their depth.

I dunno why we even should engage this guy. He said yesterday the Dodgers were out and then used a tweet that didn't say they were out as reason to call them out. Now he's saying Cubs are likely, then says the Dodgers are in again if he waits.

75 wins is actually a solid improvement on last season.

This. Boras wouldn't take that nonsense.

Pretty sure he has 2 sock puppets (ones the devil, the other is an angel) feeding him said rumors.

So then why keep coming back here?

You mean Gene Hackman? Still waiting for Jimmy Chitwood to declare his intentions.

Rick would have to dick the fans over another 7-10 years.

Please don't lump Rick in with Gar yet. Gar is goddamn scum.

Best Dragon since Jack Elliott.

I like the Grandal idea a lot too. Not only to help the pitchers but also to help our young catchers. Out of curiosity, what's the definition of a panic button move? Are you saying Brantley or Pollock or more like trading prospects for now pieces?

I'm good either way but hope they add some bridge guys. We already started doing that with Nova. Some vet outfielders like Span, Granderson, CarGo, Adam Jones on one year deals, maybe even a vet 2B like Dozier or even Murphy. That is obviously is if they feel like Yoan should move to 3B. Perhaps a few bullpen arms? Another flier starting pitcher (Fiers? Ervin Santana?) Any of these guys put in a good year and we get behind quick in the standings, you flip em for more farm.

The "official soxtalk grumpy curmudgeon thread". Dig.

You see year 6 on that deal? $35 mil!
