As well he should. He is not getting a huge deal this winter, and has to be thinking of his next contract.

This is not the 2008 recession.

And for the record. I got the Sox this winter at 50:1 to win the World Series and 18:1 to go to the WS. If they win, I am going to spring training on the payout.

In a normal year this would have been his A to AAA season even if he had hit out of his ass anyways. The kid has a total of 245 MiLB ABs, none above A ball. In no sense of the words are the Sox "holding him down", even if he debuts next May or June.

If a team was smart they would try to stretch him back out so that he could get the reps he needs to find his form again.

They won't. We have already passed the service time deadline.

Wow. Dude has legit thump.

I did make most of it up on Sunday.

I don't see this at all. Winning the World Series is literally why you play baseball. You don't play to win trades. You play to hoist the trophy. Sure who won trades is a nice distraction, but I have yet to meet anyone who becomes a fan of a team because they win trades.

I saw a twitter post that he was taking grounders today in Schaumburg.

I am just going to say it. If we really decide that Mazara isn't a fit this season, I would rather run Adam Engel out there most days and hope his changes hold up, but know we get gold glove D in RF, versus bringing in Castellanos, especially if he costs us even a decent prospect, let alone a good one.

The same people who talk about us not getting any respect are the same ones who are hypercritical of every single move.

Winning the World Series is literally why they play the game of baseball, so the winning of the world series really is the best justification for something working.

FG is 96.6%, Sox are now 6th best odds. They have actually passed Cleveland, even though the Sox are a half game behind them. Bref is at 93.7%, and 7th best odds overall.

This. We can't have another historically bad OF on defense out there right now.
