Montas can find a spot in any rotation especially if the Sox can trade Cueto or Lynn. Plus Montas is signed through next year. Eloy provides nothing if he's not in the lineup ever.

Lamont Wade, Jr. a bomb leading off ,1-0 Giants.

3 easy outs for Webb. Robert in particular swinging at a slide at least a foot outside. I mean does he think he's going to get a fastball down 1-2 in the count?

Pin this sucker !

You move Montas and get back a player who ,if healthy, could be worth more than Montas in trade. They just have to find a way to keep him healthy and pay him $10.3M next year and if he has a big year trade him. Not likely, I know like most trade scenarios from fans but you never know what a GM might do. As a GM you keep making trade offers and maybe one everyone thinks is crazy can work for you.

Why don't we want or need Montas and why do we need Eloy ?

I'd see if Oakland wants him for Montas.

I'd like to see a trade with Toronto, a big one. They still need starting pitching perhaps they'd like Lynn and Cueto . In return Cavan Biggio is very versatile (plays all INF and OF positions LH bat FA in 2026. If the Sox can find a taker for Leury somewhere. Biggio is the perfect replacement. Ricky Tiedman (19) is a big LHP in A+ with as much upward movement as anyone in the Toronto system. I think he's ranked 100 in MLB prospects and should move higher. The Blue Jays scooped up Tiedeman in the third round and signed him to a bonus of $644,800. After not having much of a detailed strength or throwing program prior to the Draft, Tiedemann took off once the Blue Jays got him into their new player development complex. The lefty added more muscle to his 6-foot-4 frame and his velocity ticked up from the 93-94 range pre-draft, now sitting at 95-96 mph and reaching higher. Adrian Hernandez is a 22yr old right handed relief pitcher in AAA . He is small, 5'8" 190 but is supposed to have a great changeup, His fastball isn't anything special, low 90's . He is on Toronto's 40. Make it look like you're throwing in the towel like Seattle did last year. Then offer Eloy to the A's for Montas and see what they say.

It was like a World Series game !

I don't but then again I don't have confidence that I'm right either and hoping I'm wrong. Still a long way to go. I'll be with them every step of the way.

I think it can work with a lot of players who might not otherwise develop into MLB players. That said big strong guys need to tap into their power and that means pulling the ball. It's fine for a 2 strike approach but when you have the count in your favor it's bombs away.

Might have to keep an eye on Moises Castillo who has started off hot replacing Sosa at 2nd base in Birmingham. No power though.

If Sosa starts only hitting singles in Charlotte ,I know who to blame. . Charlotte is a bandbox he should do very well there.

So Fegan is telling us if Sosa is traded it's because the Sox are "light on near major league ready pieces." How does this make sense? Sosa is a near major league ready piece. If he isn't then why bring him up ?

I actually think it's true. He did miss time earlier for an unknown reason. Maybe he should be reminded that an average American after 30 years of work can't even save anything close to the amount of money he already has at 23 yrs. old . His talent is a gift and will reap many benefits with the right attitude. That said depression will warp your thoughts.

Is this a Rorschach Test ? Twins looks like a spade, Brewers an hourglass, Yankees, the Superbowl Trophy, Bluejays, a Mushroom, Diamondbacks looks like Italy, Tampa Bay Rays actually looks like a Ray. Tigers if you count the circle too looks like it's 7:15 on a clock. The A's look like a clock at 2:35 with a second hand at 25 seconds.The Sox looks like the head of a pick axe.

I don't know what we discussed in the past and my position then. You would have to find it and show me. Every season is different and my opinion is based on any particular season and how I foresee future seasons. If I did say something like that it was because I had no faith in the FO to sustain the "multiple championship" window Hahn spoke of. because I know the Sox always find a way to turn things bad. I do not relish being correct one iota. This 2022 season is a failure. It has been failing since mid 2021. That's enough time to know they don't have enough health , talent, Left handedness , good defenders, youth to sustain this window. It's all been crumbling. Teams that crumble usually keep crumbling or make changes. If you want to stay the course with this bunch I understand your thinking. There are no good minor leaguers available. It isn't easy to find them but somehow teams like Tampa Bay can always trade vets and operate on a shoestring budget to content in the toughest division in baseball. Minnesota and Cleveland have done it spending less than the Sox. It's not easy to admit the Sox have failed and knowing that I don't expect a purge or even if there was one for it to succeed. The Sox are once again mediocre and in the past that meant a rebuild. Even though the Front office who built the mediocrity have managed to once again build the team right back to mediocre after 2 years in the playoffs. I don't have faith they can get the team back into the playoffs with a minor tear down but in this division it's only a hill not a mountain. But that hill has proven in the past that it's more like an obstacle course to them.

The point is to get younger and cheaper. How much longer do you think some of these veteran players are going to last. Trade them while they still have value. Hahn has made the team older, slower, more right handed and worse defensively. What's the point in that if it doesn't help you win ? Teams do pretty well getting BP pieces without spending the kind of money the Sox have spent on them.

I'm sure it was but when you're talking epic bible movie it wasn't. More like wrath of God stuff followed by much much worse when the Egyptians couldn't be convinced to let the slaves go even after the frogs and locusts.

Frogs falling from the sky isn't ?

Perez was laid up for a little while. Maybe was hurting before they Il'd him. Those catchers do get more then their fair share of bumps and bruises.

Trout said Peguero was tipping his pitches . That might explain some things.

Not everyone knows the Bible. Maybe if you had said locusts ?
