No, you don't.

Anywho from a sheer baseball stand point, I honestly still believe he's going to be the best pitcher of the bunch(yes, even Gio). Hopefully I'm right, if I'm not, this post never happened.

Because some people believe that baseball players are only there for their entertainment and not actual human beings.

Ignorance at its finest here.

Is this because he stopped doing the dancing for dubs?

I think it's fair to wonder if COVID has sapped Nomar the way Yoan said it's done for him. That said, Mazara was a bad player before this season and there's no reason to believe he'll become a decent one next season.

I'd normally say no chance but with TA who knows. I highly, highly doubt it but I ain't counting that guy out out anything.

Dane is your number 3 starter in the playoffs, I don't even think this should be a question. As for next season: Sign Bauer and let Dane, Dylan and Kopech battle for those last 2 spots.

I actually really liked the format for the 10 teams. I can deal with 12 but to me 16 is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much with as many games as there are in baseball(even if they shorten the season a bit). Also, they couldn't have done this when the Sox were mediocre?!?

TA always impressed me in the minors by how he always seemingly struggled for a bit and was able to adjust at every level. Proved to me that not only was he a super smart player but also mentally tough to get through some of his struggles. As other have said, I for sure thought he would regress offensively while improving defensively this season but damn this is something. Kid is a superstar, fun as hell to watch and seems to be just a great overall human being. Special player and person.

This. The owners are just full of shit. Always have been.

This is so team friendly that I almost feel bad.

Bruce can tweet about literally the smallest thing and still make himself look stupid. Impressive stuff.

Tim is a fun dude who was having fun in this interview, don't take anything he says here too seriously. He's the best.

So where are you on all this? You were very anti steroids and now you don’t care about any of this?

Change the Game is perfect. Also, this thread is fantastic.

Ha touche.

In the last 3 or so months, Phil has ripped Fegan for giving Yoan an MVP vote, he's compared Konerko to Edgar Martinez and then that tweet today. The dude is an absolute moron.

I'm probably one of the few but I enjoy Puig's weird antics...that said, I don't think he's really the best fit with this team.

Lineup gonna be sexy.

I also would have been content with 82 wins in 2019.

If it was last year, absolutely...right now, give me Edwin and lets win a division.

I'm happy our new philosophy is to play for the 24 and 25 seasons when our best position player and best pitcher will be gone. This is fine strategy. Don't force the issue now because we want to be ready to go full force with out Yoan and Gio!

Every team who gives out these contracts goes in knowing they are probably going to have some bad money on their hands come the last few years. If you want to get these star players it's what you have to do. If the Sox want to keep playing poor and not force the issue this year then we're going to have a whole 3 year window with Yoan and Gio on this team. If you're the front office you have to make yourself uncomfortable at some point.

He's 3 years older than Manny when he hit free agency and also signed for 3 less years so ya.
