The funny retort here is the Sox targeting a player who performs the worst at home.

That said depending on cost I would not mind Mahle. Going on positive regression is not a bad idea, but is risky. That is of course what the braves did!

So below average offense.

Can’t express how much good content I’d write about the Sox declining Rodons QO, then trading an exorbitant sum for Mahle post shoulder

Actual availability would be nice.

I know it’s a great day to look at them but I actually hadn’t looked at Ramos numbers in a while, not since his hot start. Really good! He only has a 17% k rate and an 8% BB rate. He’s looking at, hopefully, maybe 20 HRs and 20 doubles. Still 2.5 years younger than A+, and all of the above are bests. Another prospect getting better as they see increased competition.

What is the pro Tyler Mahle case? Just Bounceback/FIP stuff?

We would be like 5 wins better with schwarber.

This run from cease is every bit as good as that one Arietta run that won him a cy young but with about 1/100th of the fanfare

Not trying to take anything away from Kelley but Jesus Valles followed him up and also tore through that lineup (and valles isn’t good).

Oh 2 home runs from Gladney not just one?

Don’t forget we also have a maxed out budget.

Would be shocked if Ferrari places ahead of Mercedes’ in constructors this year

Ugh 3 games, then will have to get a day off every other day to “ramp up”.

Big doubles for both Popeye and Sosa tonight. Severino, still terrible.

Not a good farm night.

Ethan Hammerberg pitched in ACL today. Maybe the first 2022 class player I’ve see so far

Lol

Yay cam butler homer

Excellent year for Ryan Burrowes.

There is no productive use of time for this team.

This trade puts the nail in the coffin on this team. We can’t compete with prices like these, desperately need impact help, and will only see the teams we are competing with get even better.

Within 2 years of the cheap talent arriving in the league, which Sox fans had to wait through 3 years of heavy losing for, Hahn has a team with a bottom barrel farm, exhausted budget, and .500 results. That is exactly what he did put together in 2015-16 after pulling back and re setting. He had been in this position for a decade yet has not build a premiere player development or scouting engine. The training staff, for years among the top in baseball, has regressed to the worst under his watch. His free agency record is appalling. All his fault. Perhaps actual accountability being exercised would make everyone focus more on performing their jobs instead of perfecting pushing off responsibility in everyone else. That’s the only thing Hahn is good at.

Rick Hahn doesn’t deserve to be able to sell
