So tell me what you think happens. I'm already on record saying Robert does get traded . If you don't think he gets traded do you think they pick up the option even if the rest of the season fizzles out for him ? Robert's always been a tease as a player, flashing his high side but only once staying on the field long enough to show it. Too many must love to empty their wallets to be teased again. No wonder so many use those gambling apps , the promise of the big payout suckers you in . Wise up !

I've lost all faith in your judgement. You talk about the Sox and Getz being stupid. I don't think anyone actually doing his job would do any better in the same circumstances. There's no rational for signing a guy for 1 year $20M and hoping to squeeze decent position player prospects out of these other GMs. He's not going to have a Crochet style big year and Crochet wasn't making $20M. It's a lost cause. On one hand you're saying they will or should spend $20M on Robert and on the other that they would not or you don't think they will spend $20M unless it's on Robert. Do you not realize how strange that is ?

It's not like They have any quotes from Getz on the matter. If you trust what and who Rosenthal heard that from you'll never actually know if it's true until it actually happens. I don't think it gets that far.

Fool me once shame on you. Fool twice shame on me. If you honestly expect Robert to both stay healthy and perform when the last and one and only time he did it for close to a full season was 2023, then when he fails again in 2026 shame on the Sox if they do pick up his option and anyone who agrees with it. No one said anything about saving it or being worried about the payroll. If you have $20M to spend spend it on a couple players better than garbage dump pickups that actually might have trade value at the deadline instead of trying to get blood from that turnip again.

They can just not trade him without picking up the option. But he'll be traded.

Under no circumstances do you pick up that option.

Davis Martin 3.04 ERA at home this year.

Robert since coming off the IL July 8th BA .318 OPS .957 HR 3 RBI 11 SB 4

Winner winner chicken dinner ! Easy peasy !

Trust me I know about being tall and getting the legs going. Not the easiest getting started but you get rolling and you can move pretty fast.

We love insurance runs.This game is just about in the W column.

Sosa's a good hitter now. A few more walks and HRs he'd be damn good.

Not for me. Me winning 4K betting a Superbowl many years ago on multiple bets that all hit put me well ahead for life. I'll wager with friends but rarely

After Tauchman grounded out for the 3rd out Phillies PBP guy said "Cubs leave a couple" . Damn just heard Ryne Sandberg died of cancer.

Last 6 starts before today Sanchez 4-0 , 1.22 ERA , 46 K ,4 BB.

Painter 😃

Lenny getting hits before both HR is why the HR hitters are behind him. Not a great on base guy but when he getting hits against pitches in the zone so can the power.

warning track

#99 . I wanted him to get to 100 before he got traded . HR , great diving catch... You watching Phillies ?

You'd think he wasn't hitting while playing 3rd the way some people are carrying on about it. He's hitting, he's fielding fairly well . It's all small sample size so far but Sox have looked like a better team no matter where he's playing.

Mont bum ery !!!!

You never know he could be mentoring guys like Baldwin, Teel, Montgomery, and Quero for when he hits LH or some of the other young hitters. Some of the Sox young guys are doing pretty well. You can't take that for granted that they have made a pretty smooth transition to MLB so far. Power usually comes last when you move up a level especially when the emphasis is on quality PAs

He doesn't have to be great right away. Games will be lost regardless. As long as he becomes competent at it eventually.

Weird how people eventually come around to things I said months ago.

And that's not going to happen was my point. Have at it if you like thinking there are fantasy offers out there. Very few trades have gone down so far and the typical returns are pitchers. The market is setting up to be much like last year.
