He’s controlled through 2029

What would be the price of Ray if we had matched the Padres offer? Seems like it would have been something like McDougal or Sandlin and a lottery ticket.

I trust that Fuller and the hitting crew can help him return to form. Again, he is having the same issue Vargas had. It’s a gamble I’m willing to take for a 26 year old starting pitcher prospect and a young kid who plays a position we are stacked at.

I don’t think they’re really depending on him turning it around this year with that bat - that I feel is their hope for 27 - 29… with a small hope that it could happen this year. But this year their primary focus in center is having GG defense out there, getting Peters some rest to help him get back on track at the dish, etc. They have plenty of offense elsewhere - especially if they add a catcher like Stephenson.

GIVE ME STEPTHENSON AND HOLMES DAMN IT!!

Robbie Ray has two months left. Brenton Doyal has control through 29.

Minor league right-hander Miguel Mendezand minor league shortstop Joniel Hernandez are expected to head to San Francisco.

Misleading. He said he “thinks” they are done. And we know he’s a mouthpiece - so it could be an attempt to get an offer accepted.

I will forever hate bubitch - just because of his bitchy name.

This isn’t certainly one of those moves though - since he is controlled through 29 with options remaining. And we have proven already we can win with Peters being an offensive hole providing stellar D. Maybe platooning him with Peters helps them both this year and even more so in years to come.

Say Nay and bring him over here, please and thank you. Stick it to your rivals O’s.

Limited by an oblique injury. He certainly will do better than the 8 wRC+ that Peters has put up against LHP this year.

Still think we are shooting for Stephenson and Holmes. The Yankmes are likely in the way with Stephenson and who knows who were up against with Holmes. Seems like there may be some new SP options opening up as well as some teams are deciding to sell.

This is simply not true. Tell me the last time Romo hit 23 bombs, stole 30 bases, and gave you 70 RBI while providing gold glove defense. Yes, he regressed last year and has sucked this season but he has been hurt… and his advanced metrics are flashing the same problems that Miggy had before we turned him into a monster. After taking some time to dig into this initial head scratcher, I fully get it.

He pitched well in his most recent starts in Cleveland and in Detroit - both times going 6 and giving up only 1 ER.

Another way to think on Doyle is look at Peters lack of offensive production - we’re still winning with that absent production. Perhaps we gain some offense at catcher while we also start working towards a Vargas like turn around with Doyle. A lot of the problems Vargas had before breaking out mirror the issues Doyle has had over the last year and a half… and he also has been hurt. Just returned Friday so the health issue is no longer a concern, apparently. It’s either a sneaky move or it fails.

Thank you. People really don’t get it. And… I still STRONGLY believe we are getting a catcher and another SP.

Since Doyle has options, I don’t think it’s a sure thing he starts with the big league club. Anything is possible aside from there NOT being more moves. I still think we get a starting pitcher with frontline potential and a catcher.

I think that Fuller and Co have earned leeway with us whereas they can help a guy like this get back on track. Could be a sneaky good move where a lot of folks who aren’t looking at it this way are shocked if he becomes a fixture in centerfield.

Same here… but before today I didn’t even know Brenton Doyle’s name. Looks like they must believe they can get him back to putting the ball in the air ( this year he’s hitting almost 60% of his balls on the ground when he was almost a 30/30 guy he was closer to 40% ) and they must also believe that his oblique is what killed his defense. They might be thinking they are buying low on a potential gold glove centerfielder controlled through 29 that they feel they can get 20+ homers and 20+ steals from.

Sure looks like it! Let’s remember that Mason is 26 years old.

The brain trust really must believe he can return to his gold glove and potential 30/30 power and speed combo. Not a move I expected whatsoever. 5 hours left and a lot more is going to go down for our Sox.

Oh no more so about Adams or Vielma?

Must believe in his defense, power, speed combo and that they feel they know how to get him back on track.
