Or he ends up with the Twins or Guardians instead since both teams have the necessary prospect capital to pull it off. And yeah, the Braves were still under .500 at this point last year. We won’t hear that about one quadrillion times, will we?

Don't think the Nats could take Kelenic back as top player for Soto...would have to be 2/3 guy, depending on quality of the other two. But then Seattle might be without Julio Rodriguez now for awhile. White Sox Phillies Blue Jays Padres Cards all desperately battling for postseason this year. Not sure exactly how to describe the Guardians and Twins' sense of urgency. Baltimore as well.

Thats the base running you expect from the Sox.

Trying to sell out for more power and overswinging?

Two excellent defensive plays prevented really game breaking inning there.

But can't afford no offense from that spot either.

Andrus has always been a Top 3 defender.

Have to extend Zavala lol. Shockingly both him and Mercedes fine at big league level this year.

Hasn't had enough time on the basepaths yet.

Would Leury have gotten that contract without the Astros playoff homer? Probably.

Might end up keeping Harrison next year since we can't really trust Hahn to find a real 2B.

A ton off topspin/top hand on that.

Is that a relative of Meatloaf?

Bill Russell died. Amazing career.

That route in RF wasn't even close to getting there. Foul.

Three homers almost...

Barely missed two homers. Seven this series. Traded for Laureano too late lol. Just nine homers in 112 IP for Cease. A's with thirty six homers for July, 4th place. Even Andrus is a power hitter recently.

Why couldn't Jon Adkins pitch like that with similar stats?? Only Sox opposition, not the guys acquired. Also after Judge, Seth Brown and Matt Carpenter Top 5 in AL homers post ASB. Judge already 12 and doubling up everyone.

WTP Pollock always first pitch hunting. Not a good combo with Anderson and Robert doing the same.

"Sox are a really good lineup on paper." Lol.

Anderson blown away by another starter with lousy numbers but off a huge win...his first, over Astros.

Vaughn actually playing where he belongs. Guardians somehow already scored three off McClanahan already. They also face Royals 6 of last 9 games of season. Sox and Twins same pattern final week. Adv Cleve.

They keep saying they don't have the minor league pieces to trade like it's the fault of other teams and not the Hahn Regime.

And Brantley's lack of power isn't as conspicuous this season with the ball not carrying for most of the league other than Judge. Definition of a professional hitter with competitive at bats and veteran leadership. Unfortunately, out of their comfortable budget. They got scared off because of the Melky Cabrera flop. But Brantley has always been a better, more consistent player.

What does Jay Cuda have, too much time on his hands or a quantum computer? Flip that 1-3 around and they're in first place.
