As opposed to BaghdadEddy.

I hear you can talk to Teddy there, how was your conversation?

CLOWNS ALL OF THEM CLOWNS FIRE THEM ALL!!! HOW DARE THEY HAVE FUN!!!

For the record, I don't think the off the field stuff affected the on the field stuff for TA, outside the the brutal murder of his best friend. It was leg injury after leg injury, a couple of them pretty major, that sapped his explosiveness. It's honestly not unusual for guys of his skill set and build either. When the legs go, they are done

I loved TA. Dude made himself into an all-star SS after primarily growing up as a PG. The off of the field stuff was sad, but his legs and the perpetual injuries just killed his biggest asset. The Field of Dreams game is one of my all time baseball moments. Still remember exactly where I was.

Doesn't that make not overspending prospect capital more important? This is the entire point.

Trade him now, odds are this is Hagens peak.

Worst case scenario with the state of t he pen.

Half of Soxtalk seems to piss you off that bad and yet...

That was literally my point. Don't pat prospects to dump Dominguez. Pick up the entire Castillo contract.

He looked like he hurt himself on a swing

A couple of years ago on the way to Niagara

Both aren't on good terms

The best thing I can say about Cleveland is that it is not Detroit.

Daaaaaaaaaaayum

I hope a few people are seeing this statement.

Exactly. Attendance is up 25% Take on some money, save the prospect.

This is why I don't buy the "on purpose " idea. They needed 100 pitches and got jack. He would have worn it because of the condition of the pen.

But of course. But the question was could the Sox have sent less if they didn't include a bad deal to save money on Castillo.

One of two things occurred. Either #1, they thought the Dominguez was worth his contract and it STILL cost them Smith, or Dominguez is worth less than his contract so it took a prospect the level 9f Smith to make it balance. 8f Castillo was a pure dump, Smith wasn't necessary.

So did they throw in Smith for free?

Occams Razor. He forgot about the 1st one.

Neither is probably ready, but this is what happens when your pen is BBQd

It goes back to Getz not playing for 26. The deadline just confirmed it.

Thank you. Stringing together rare coincidence and turning it into conspiracy theory is utterly pointless. You do get it.
