Thinking like Cleveland, this saves them $6 million next year and a couple-ish million this year.

Definitely. The discussion was all of his metrics seem to indicate he is selling out for power this year.

Crede ended up getting ejected.

That happened after a bunch of injuries and ejections IIRC.

Also worth noting, this is why sending out Jake Burger was a bad idea with this many OFs on the roster.

Sure, but even if you adjust him in, where are you putting him? In the 20's somewhere? With as much as we have heard about how bad the Sox farm system now is, it's still not that big of a loss.

I didn't realize he had surgery.

Holy shit my eyes are burning from this line up.

Oh wow. Tyler Johnson released? They didn't even DFA him? That's really interesting.

Pushing Leury back into his super sub role is a really nice help to a line up that has a lot of ailing guys too.

And this is a pretty thin and raw system. Sure he'd be a nice guy to have, but we have upper level pitching, and we also have a bigger need at 2B.,

Correct me if I am wrong, but Pilkington isn't even ranked in the top 30 by futuresox, no? Maybe he moved into the back end by now, but I don't see the big worry here.

Which will still require another roster spot for whoever they get.

He didn't have a real clear road here, so its hard to fault the Sox for the deal.

If Pilkington is the deal, we still need to free up a 40 man spot. Really 2 with Robert back soon.

This would be my guess for sure.

Next year's roster more specifically. Leury is a FA after this year.

Also of note is his has a team option for $6 million next year. Looks like he has played some SS and 3B in the past, plus some OF a long time ago. Maybe we are looking at Leury's replacement?

Switch hitter, pop, and a gold glove. I guess we wait and see what the cost is.

If AV can finish the rest of the season like did in July, he's got a shot for sure.

Unless they are getting a controlled GOOD player, it isn't worth it. Blackmon's deal will stop them from making future moves.

Unless he signs an extension, Bryant would not be playing 3rd for sure. You don't bump your long term guys for rentals.

We DFA'd him months ago. Of course he wasn't claimed, so now he is DSLtalk.com. Unfortunately there was a slight mix up and he ended up on a page about ATT internet service.

No, no. If it fails something happened outside of Kyyle's control that he could have never anticipated.

Well, so much for protecting him at DH.
