Maybe he was offered more money elsewhere?

On MLBTR, the majority of comments were people saying if you expect more than a fine you're setting yourself up for disappointment

people saying they're only getting a fine if that's true, the mlb is essentially saying you can cheat for a price. somebody has to get the axe, hard, for this

excuse me, theyve been renamed: the houston asterisks thank you

the chances of the Sox making a serious playoff push this year are pretty slim, get a 1 year stop gap who plays elite defense in rf and go hard after Betts in 2021? maybe put engel back out there, I saw someone make a good point about surrounding our pitching staff with solid D 1-9 which would take a lot of undue pressure off of them as they acclimate to the bigs, I'm on board with that

I just want somebody in RF that plays above average defense sadly there arent really any options available outside of an overpay trade

I would take a flyer on Mitch Hanigar, if hes healthy in 2020 he would be a pretty good option in RF, or am I way off base here

wow

damn, who was banned for life?

damn, if true this blows the whole thing open https://theathletic.com/1374774/2019/11/16/astros-executive-asked-scouts-for-help-stealing-signs-and-suggested-using-cameras-email-shows/?amp Astros executive asked scouts for help stealing signs and suggested using cameras, email shows

this is why I feel going all in on FA this offseason is a dumb move, wait til next year and supplement your team until then

It's a shame Yoan couldnt play RF, grab rendon for 3b I get the sentiment that we shouldnt keep moving a guy around every year, but yoan is the one guy on the roster who I think could probably play every position in the IF/OF

you guys are funny

if you arent prepared to be disappointed, you arent prepared

what does he profile out to be, something like a chone figgins minus the switch hitting?

this thread is so cringey right now lol "ban bet!"

Not with this pitching staff Kopech Cease and Lopez are huge question marks, and we have no idea how the bullpen will perform compared to this year I'd say this team wins around 80 games

management is never going to be this orgs issue, and I'm saying this as an avid renteria hater I would definitely replace Rick with Joe but I don't see it doing much, maybe let Maddon pick his own coaches lmao jk, we dont allow that kind of craziness around here

Mookie Betts is the type of player Sox fans should know will never play for this team, yet here we are ?

what a shit show.

if tim wins the batting title, does that do anything for his trade value or is he pretty much a guy who probably won't net much in a trade? because if his trade value is at it's peak right now, i'd say deal him for the right package

dont do this to yourself
