When’s the last time the Sox jumped a position prospect directly from AA to the bigs? They didn’t do it with Robert or Madrigal, or Vaughn. Doubt they start with Sosa before at least looking to go the trade route.

This is the same argument as Chapman in 2016. Cubs or Red Sox fans will argue to the end those two players were absolutely critical. And, for that reason, those trades will never be perceived as losses for those respective franchises. That said, the Sale contract signed with Boston has become a bit of an albatross.

That's a great workout OST.

Maybe they stick with Harrison/Leury at second after the disaster last year with Hernandez...but a lefty like Benintendi or Naquin or any of the names listed above wouldn't break the already limited prospect bank. I will just assume Benintendi to SD until he ends up elsewhere.

Jesus, Hader going for 40 unscored upon appearances in a row. Must be nice.

You've gone all Parkman recently.

Harper just hit a grand slam to tie the Angels Bot 8, who could go on to lose 11 in a row. Crazy season.

Please never play Grandal at 1B again.

4-2 season series win against Rays.

Bichette had a chance for walk off no dice 8-6 Twins.

Zunino 1/7 six stayed in the park against Liam.

Surprised Leury not PHing lol. TLR doesn't do that with three Sw/Lefties available off bench.

Twins trying to blow 8-3 lead...8-6 after that darned Espinal strikes again. Graveman has been by and large pretty darned good...the one solid Hahn move this offseason. Bottom 3 for Rays against Hendriks with Mejia only hitter on bench over .200.

Seems like Vladdy Jr. and Bichette got into a massive argument over a pop-up not being called...Blue Jays already had two drop in due to sun earlier. Looks like the Guardians and soon the Twins winning...so absolutely can't afford to surrender yet another six run lead game.

Not that Vaughn's batted, you have to put in Engel and move Vaughn to 1B. You have to.

Rays with uncharacteristically bad baserunning and defense this year…still hanging in there without Franco and Lowe.

They can’t seriously be going to Lopez for anyone but Ramirez? 113 EV for Diaz.

Bummer with a run of 9 out of 10 unscored upon… Hendriks throwing for the 8th? No Graveman?

Righties just 5/44 against Adam. Yikes. Harrison ball would have been an easy out if it went through… 5/45. .111.

He has been positioned back at almost the warning track for every hitter.

White Sox 17-13 with Harrison starting…7-14 without. Welp.

And the Twins just went up 8-3, Sanchez homer.

Dave Wills…”they’ve gotta get Giolito out of there!” ”Maybe it’s nap time?” Rays getting outhit 13-8 but only down 1. Bummer would come in for Kiermaier. Grandal/Vaughn being in the wrong positions on the field comes back to inevitably hurt the Sox.

Grandal with solid defense? Looks like a challenge. Came off bag after the tag was made?

Robert playing all the way back at the county line...must not feel very confident playing up in the Dome.
