5:20 out there. Plenty of time for nothing to happen.

Jake Jarmel wouldn’t have used the exclamation point.

Nice to see Strasburg stay in DC. Hopefully he has seven healthy seasons in him.

Fake account

Price/Betts package obviously. ?

Talk about click bait...

Found this interview with Robinson, it's really interesting. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-wild-episode-1454-where-have-you-gone-mr-robinson/

Val Heim passed away. He turned 99 earlier this month. He played for the Sox in 1942. The "new" oldest living MLB player is now Eddie Robinson, He turns 99 next month. He played for the Sox a few years and was an All-Star first baseman in 1951 and 1952 as a Sox player. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robined01.shtml

Best case scenario...Sox win a World Series sometime in the next 6 years, and Tatis goes on to a Hall of Fame career. We get the trophy, and also get to chuckle at one of the worst trades in baseball history.

Sums it up nicely.

Seaver didn’t choose the Sox, though. He was taken in a free agent compensation draft after the Mets didn’t protect him. Fisk was big, but when Belle signed before Thanksgiving in 96, it was shocking and huge.

Agreed. Especially to start the season. Maybe the Mercedes/Collins thing works out and another team goes after McCann in July and we get some bullpen help.

Not great, Bob!

I’m on board for adding a lefty-HamelS, Ryu, Keuchel. If Lopez gets traded this offseason, so be it.

Wheeler would be an exciting signing, but there is a real chance he underperforms no matter who he signs with. I know Dan O’Dowd on MLB Network has said he wouldn’t touch him at the dollars he’ll end up with, but that’s just one opinion. The fit is there with the Sox and the money will be spent.

Love that they’re learning from the mistakes of last year. Get a great offer out there early and force them to make a decision now. Hope it gets done!

Maybe eventually, but in his rookie year, ease him in. I’m just glad we may have a 9-man lineup that is big league quality.

Wheeler makes too much sense. Right guy at the right price, and the style probably would fit Cooper’s kinda guy.

What’s your take on that?

I’ve been clear on this. I wouldn’t sign a player that got suspended as a big leaguer. Q and Kopech weren’t. And I already know what Grandal was suspended for. I hope he’s clean now.

He was suspended in the past. That’s a fact.

Another cheater on the Sox. Great.

Vizquel left the organization. Called that.
