I've said it before, and I will say it again. If you come to Soxtalk needing to hear only your opinion reflected back at you in similar words, you are on the wrong website. This will never be that place.

I agree that if we leave out all of the bad parts, the Sox have been an OK team.

In all seriousness, I would expect the Sox to look at the pitchers and OFs that hit the wire.

Again, get Lenyn Sosa a LF glove and make room for this dude on the IF.

Can I interest any other MLB team in a slightly used Josh Rojas/

There has been talk of Grant Taylor being a reliever for years. The difference? Shane Smith has four months of history at MLB of being a really good starting pitcher. Grant Taylor has never been able to do that at the MiLB level

The Twins did have the #10 farm system at MLB before all of these trades, so it isn't unreasonable to think they would have a big jump.

Yeah, we aren't talking Panda Express here.

Shane Smith into the bullpen next year? Maybe at some point in August or September to finish the year and keep innings down, but there has to be a near zero chance of that happening to start next year.

Now that is a busy deadline.

This thought is exactly what prompted my initial "the money will be spent" statement.

It's more like $55-60 million when you fill up the roster.

Between signing Mike Clevinger 3 times, and their penchant for over the hill prospects I can't decide if this is hilarious or making me want to cry.

Let's be honest, if Tampa can't figure Mead out, we probably won't, but at least this is a dude with some upside.

Imagine being one of the biggest revenue teams in baseball and then trotting out the corpse of Bruce Levine how you ALMOST got Adrian Houser. JFC!

Not being one of the worst franchises in baseball is a great place to start for me personally.

Or you can expect they will waste money on 2nd or 3rd tier players and expect kudos for it.

Ah yes, the money will be spent. Playing the greats hits album again

The Plan Getz: Please! Jerry: No Getz: PLEASE Jerry: No Getz Pleeeaaaase Jerry: No Getz: pretty please Jerry: No

No duh.

So much for a busy deadline.

The next time an entire list of names becomes relevant in the future will be the first.

Again, betting that 35 injury prone guy to be healthy and productive again, seems crazy.

I know who none of these guys are, but EVEN BETTER!
