I don't think there's a chance that he's traded unless the Sox are blown away. this isn't Eloy or Vaughn where you know what you have, the only thing we know about Robert is that he may or may not go down with a season ending injury
I still think he can be fixed if the Sox accept him for who he is, a .260 to .270 hitter, with a .330ish OBP who could potentially go 40/40 if he's healthy
I feel like they'll decline arb and then negotiate a 2 year deal worth about 6-7mil. his agent is gonna say what exactly, "this is ludicrous! absolutely reprehensible!"
no, he's gonna have him sign and it'll be done. and Vaughn will be lucky to get that deal
again, where are you seeing Vaughn as a potential 750-800 OPS guy? he's nowhere near that, and even giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying he has untapped potential, the Sox aren't unlocking it. like someone else said, put Vargas at 1B and upgrade 3B or just play Ramos there for a year, or hell maybe Colson lands at 3B in August
I don't see how you bring back Vaughn at that price. Wouldn't be shocked if they bring back Sheets though

I had no idea that Clayton McCullough hadn't played in the MLB. No thanks. I want someone who was at least a semi-successful former MLB player if they aren't hiring a former MLB manager
They can't keep lining the bullpen with these gas cans, unfucking real how bad these guys are with command. how the f*** are you in the big leagues dude, 5 run lead, 2 outs and you walk the bases loaded and then walk in a run? f*** outta here, and f*** Ethan Katz too
and f*** android spell check, gfys
theres no way the Sox extend him, even with a below market deal. they're shedding as much payroll as possible, G-Rate is gonna be a ghost town next year. sub 10k per game if they start out losing like they did the last two seasons
Chris Getz wants all of you to believe that he's gonna turn this team into the Chicago Rays, little spending but with top tier minor league development and an organization with a very specific philosophy on how to win
We are FUCKED
you know when they made that lottery anti tanking rule, they were looking right at Jerry. Sox are the only huge market team (LA, CHI, NY, TOR) that runs their s%*# like the local shoe cobbler down the fucking street
