That is like the Vince Gilligan trademark. There is so much time spent in detail and set up, and then it all pays off in spades at the end.

I am also not willing to believe that Devers would have developed the same in Chicago as he did in Boston.

The Sox original ask was Moncada, Kopech and Devers. Boston talked them into a couple of tier 2 players instead of Devers to get the deal done.

Moncada I can kind of understand as he is almost still in spring training for all practical purposes. The rest? No idea.

I will be honest, unless something huge happens, I really hope the Sox are not buyers at the deadline. The only exception is if they could swing a deal for someone with longer control. Otherwise, don't waste your resources until there is a team worth spending them on. A quarter of the way through this season, this group isn't worth it. They are flat, inconsistent and leaderless.

If only someone had thought of that.

It was Kirk's day off, he wouldn't have pinch hit at all.

I wouldn't leave Cease and Kopech out of this conversation.
