enjoying this reveal by deduction Joel Sherman is doing.

Ah, well, nevertheless.

hmm...starting to think we didn't get anything.

As someone who was critical of sox talking big and not delivering in 18 offseason...this was not that. I wanted Clevinger or Lynn or obviously Woodruff (or Degrom), but if it's not there it's not there. I'm just glad dunning did what he's done so far.

Dyson is basically our Geoff Blum move.

maybe dodgers is a 3rd team being pulled in by sox with them getting Heuer?

wow marlins actually got a pretty good return for Villar. Orioles probably feel stupid there.

eh, 20 mins left...maybe I'm wrong.

I still think we get Lynn ?‍♀️

love this time of year where every non-favorable report is smoke screening and any positive report is 100% accurate

lol

Yeah must have misspoke, looks like Sherman is just discussing that he is likely to be moved?

that's kinda remarkable they are going to wait

Can't imagine being a mets fan if the marlins hop over you this year (or Phils, but mets if funnier to me for some reason)

I think it's a much better idea to let Robert, Eloy, Moncada, TA, Madrigal, Gio, Cooper, Bummer as many playoff games as possible this year rather than making sure Burdi gets 10 pitches if he hasn't shown he can hang in preseason unless absolutely necessary.

Does this apply to bullpen too? Should Burdi be our closer now so that he gets the experience?

No we need Cease to pitch so he gets experience.

Giolito may get his ass kicked in the playoffs but he's earned that start.

If I were to bet on anyone I'd go Lynn... I wouldn't be shocked if it's a different Brewers guy like Adrian Houser/Corbin Burnes

eh, disagree. I'm out to win playoff games, not trying to get some experience in some hopes he's still a good pitcher on a team that has a run. Winning playoff games is fun.

If he starts walking under 4 a game it's a discussion.

I also do care about experience in playoffs for pitchers. It doesn't always matter, but Lynn has been there, and I just feel confident in a guy that can make it tolerable even without his best stuff in a game.

You are asking if we have more confidence in the playoffs than Dylan Cease?

I’m a big fan of any company that gives sox money I will buy all of your terrible products

I’m not a fan of Mazara but I’m much more confident he will be better than our SP situation moving forward.
