Trade bait.

Somebody is going to overpay for Wheeler

so is there one particular piece of information that leans towards the assumption that the Sox are signing Wheeler or is this just a bunch of wishful thinking?

I'm more interested in Bumgarner tbh

strikeouts aren't worth looking at in a vacuum

what would it take to get hanigar?

Castellano and Eloy in the OF together with a rookie in between could cause our young rotation some headaches

You guys think they're gonna rotate DH between abreu/mccann/Grandal? that's a decent rotation imo

Does Kopech start the season on the big club?

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?
