And with what;s left of the older prospects, you have Kopech and Crochett who are being conditioned for those spots potentially.

Eloy at DH? No way. Its almost like the Sox saw him play the OF.

Again, it is common sense. You can't have a guy who is everything you describe, yet still claim that GMs want him at $18 million a season. That doesn't add up. Either he is a decent enough pitcher to demand trade value even with an $18 million price tag, or he is awful, and no one else is going to want him. You can't have it both ways.

So no GM is going to want to trade for him if all that is true. Seems simple enough.

I can't see anyone claiming him, but yes. If he flows through waivers, he can either accept an assignment to the minors, or elect free agency. Either way Eaton gets paid.

It is definitely worth pondering.

I think they are riding the hot hand until Eloy and Robert get back.

I think their philosophy is pretty obvious. They think they have the majority of the talent they need for the next few years here. What they are trying to set up for is to have a second wave of talent arriving when guys start to hit free agency or potentially fade away.

Tony is exactly why I am shocked Eaton got let go. Those two were made for each other.

Holy crap they cut him before Brian Goodwin or sending down Jake Burger? Wow.

That's a haul, Ramos I think we will regret.

To be fair, he seems to have forgotten a lot.

Five months ago, Carlos Rodon was fighting with Reynaldo Lopez for a job on the major league roster.

SUCK IT TWINS!!!

That is a highlight reel catch. 5 ?, highly recommended.

Lamb is DLd.

You are the best!

Yikes. So unconnected to the original injury, or what?

Is Burger not being in the line up a sign that Engel and Burger are getting swapped out?

Paying the kid they call up for an extra, I am guessing.
