Way Too far. Bro think about that shit.

Alonso is fucking useless

At the very least Yonder has a good eye, so he shouldn't swing unless it is a meatball for the foreseeable future.

It is obvious. Moncada always oozed talent, now he's starting to put it all together. The next 4 seasons are going to be fun. He's going to be so good I'm not sure that they're going to keep him. Last year many were willing to punt both Moncada and Giolito, now they're franchise cornerstones.

Dr. Evil: Fire the "laser" Moncada: Si Senor

Moncada has stupid power.

Hell of an AB by Jay, despite the groundout.

RE: Anderson AB The Australians are still like WTF?????? But they'll be dead soon too. Fucking kangaroos.

Bursitis is an infection of the bursa sacs, no? I had it myself in one of my elbows in HS, and that is what they gave me. Mine went away.

He didn't have major shoulder surgery. He had severe bursitis. they had to go in there and cut the bursa sacs in his shoulder to relieve the pain and let the bursa sacs heal. He had no structural issues when they were in there. As far as shoulder surgery goes, it was as benign as it gets. They probably only went in there because it wasn't getting better with antibiotics.

I would have traded him as well. I was hoping they would have done so. I thought the Braves were a good match, I would have done it for Toussaint and Gohara and been done with it.

100% Agreed. I don't think they're going to cut bait, but they might. I think they're just going to keep him until he reaches FA and then let him walk.

He was just coming off of shoulder surgery and had very little value. They couldn't have moved him during the season, you could argue they should have moved him this past offseason, but again who would have paid for him? Rodon is and has been practically worthless in trade because of his lack of durability. It is what it is.

He's no longer part of the Sox long term plans, IMO. He's going to hit the FA market regardless, given that Boras is his agent. The Sox need to prepare for 2020 without him. They can stretch him out in 2021 if they want to, but for 2020 they need to have that spot occupied by a competent, semi durable starter. Maybe they can give him starts when they have to shut down Kopech toward the end of the season, but they should work him for longer stints out of the bullpen to start, until he needs to replace either Kopech or Cease.

I think the Sox should try Rodon in the bullpen when he gets back. He can't stay healthy as a starter. I'm on board with those who think the Sox should go after a top starter(Cole/Bumgarner/Strasburg) and a back end starter( I really like the Alex Wood suggestions) I'm actually ok with going after Strasburg near the TDL and hoping that he opts in, and if he doesn't give him an extra year at 20M to entice him to do so. He shouldn't cost all that much in prospect capital. I don't even think it would take one of the Sox top 100 guys to get it done.

Rondon

Probably going to GIDP, because White Sox things.

The Australians are still like,WTF mate????

Now steal 3rd

Bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see how it pays off. ?

Like I said earlier, the only reason they're this close is because of the bullpen. The rotation outside of Giolito is beyond awful.

Just glad he's not on Cleveland anymore.

This fucking blows. Every time the Sox get within a game of .500 they lose, and then when they actually get there they lose two in a row.

Yonder shouldn't take the bat off his shoulder. Leclerc has no command whatsoever.
