More food, beer info from sox
They didn't for most of 2021 but I have conflicting memories on whether they reappeared in september and playoffs. I have faint memory of walking vendors during the playoff games but I may just be mixing up similar memories in my head. And I can't see anything on if that's different for 2022. Hope it's not one of those things where covid is the excuse for the fact that they realized they got by fine without em.

Micker Adolfo DFA'd
Just putting my neck out but I mostly feel like if we have to DFA micker he will actually make it down to Charlotte.

I'm kinda high on vargas. I'm sure I'll be wrong.

I just hope he gets a legit shot with some breathing room.

I feel like they've been expanding, have seen some rainbow cones poppin up all over. The orange sherbert part kinda ruined the whole thing but the palmer house ice cream is pretty good

He wasn't irreplaceable they just didn't replace him.

wtf I'm so mad I didn't know about this. I feel like I used the ballpark app a lot. But I'm in 100 this year so looking forward to using it esp. in ap/may before they get their stuff together

Austin Meadows traded to the Tigers
I think a lot of people viewed SP as priority and switched to RF when it all dried up. I put up a dream-wish poll on if sox could sign one guy that offseason who would fans choose between Scherzer or Semien and scherzer won in a landslide.

To your seats? What section do you sit in? I tried mobile last year but often waited just as long to do the pickup at the stand.

Mchugh? You are talking about Charlie Morton.

Sox Acquire Reese McGuire for Zack Collins, Officially
There is no similar “backup defensive specialist” equivalent for 2b, and really Leury would be that anyway.
-
Cueto to Sox (Official)
This is why I really wanted a guy like mchugh who can be in either role well. Just a 2/$10 deal from ATL, who have just been incredible in contracts (and sometimes predatory)

It’s one of those things where if your evaluation period is the last week it looks reasonable but if you zoom out months it looks terrible
-
Cueto to Sox (Official)
I’m a little surprised he gets $4 mill at this point that’s wild.

Austin Meadows traded to the Tigers
if he plays all 13 games vs the Sox that is a miracle

Austin Meadows traded to the Tigers
I feel like meadows is gonna end up just cratering out of TB. Like .220/.290/.480 stuff

SP Targets
Not really sure how this team went from Takatsu, Iguchi and making a vocal try toward Tanaka to just completely removing itself from any Asian pipeline but seems like it's a choice by Paddy.

SP Targets
I could believe the scenario that they don't really have any Japan/Korea/Taiwan scouting network, but now they could have seen him pitch spring training and are able to have better reports on him.

The thing is Paddack is 6'5 not a short righty like Lopez where there was good reason to believe he could struggle maintaining throughout a game, which was why he was keyed in on as a bp. Pomeranz, otoh, is 6'5 with a starter build and pomeranz was 27 when he suddenly was able to take his pitches back to starting and had two low 3 ERA years of 170 IP so that's why you give a guy like him a chance. Unlike Reynaldo Lopez, his pitches generate great movement and his length should create some added velocity beyond his mid-90s fb. It's not a guarantee but it's a good project to try, just like when San Diego years ago took Pomeranz out of the bullpen and made him a starter and flipped him to boston. Nobody said it's easy, that's why an org like the Padres, which was so high on how it was teaching pitching that it fired it's pitching coach mid season and then the manager, may have struggled to help a player that couldn't find it naturally.

ha, did not see that. But it sounds like meadows!

Seeing what padres pitchers have done post-leaving makes taking a flyer on Paddack intriguing however I see him going to TB for Meadows.
