I think most vesting options just disappear when that player no longer plays for the team that is in ownership of the contract. Unless another team picks up the exact contract, it doesn't apply anymore.

Ok who put Kaskade in the banner?

The Braves are also a possibility but he'd have to play 2B and his playing time would be gone when Albies is back soon.

I wouldn't say that. Romy is up cause Leury's on the IL. Signing Andrus would allow the Sox to send Sosa back down to AAA for more consistent playing time. Romy can stick around as a utility guy until Leury is back.

So it took almost a week for them to admit that Leury was hurt badly enough to go on the IL?

I know, I'm just saying that Andrus being a Boras client and Heyman being a Boras mouthpiece gives that Tweet some merit.

Andrus is a Boras client btw. So Heyman tweeting this seems like Andrus is interested in coming here.

he gone predicted his release an hour before it was announced.

Tyler Mahle just exited his start in the 3rd inning.

Josh Harrison played with Andrus last year as a double play pairing. That should be a nice recruitment tool.

Do you go through waivers when you get released? I thought you only go through waivers if you get DFA'd.

Maybe Hahn will be seen asking Jake Diekman about this after a game.

Isn't Andrus one of KW's guys too?

Thankfully Ha-Seong Kim has actually been pretty good this year. The Sox are easily the biggest no brainer for Andrus. Andrus isn't an upgrade over IKF for the Yankees and he wouldn't get the kind of playing time he would would with the Sox on any other contending team.

If he signs a separate contract his old contract no longer applies. Keuchel's vesting option was void when we DFA'd him and nobody picked his contract up on waivers. His new contracts with the Diamondbacks and Rangers have nothing to do with the contract he signed with us in 2019.

Can't wait for Tony to hit Andrus in the 2 spot.

He's been about as good as Josh Harrison offensively this year. You absolutely take that since he's actually decent on defense at SS.

Didi Gregorious is out there I guess. The problem with Sosa is that he looks clueless at the plate so far and he's been a butcher in the field. He's just not ready. I honestly would rather have Romy get playing time instead of signing Didi though.

Things are breaking the right way for us. If we take at least 1 of the next 2 and get some help from Detroit we go into Cleveland with the momentum and in striking distance of first place. I thought 5-2 this week would get us really back in it and that's actually looking like a possibility.

I guess we're just gonna give up on this game with Velasquez in there.

There's no way a manager should have to have a fan yelling at him to do the obvious thing.

Hahaha wow TLR must only take advice from other old people that yell at him.

Verlander has owned us for so long. But in his last start against us, he got way too predictable. The Sox hitters caught on that he wasn't really throwing anything inside and just zone hit the outer part of the zone. And with the Sox approach of going to the opposite field, that actually played right into our approach. Don't expect him to make that same mistake again tomorrow.

And it showed. The guy is one Josh Harrison error away from 16 shutout innings against one of the best teams in baseball.

Easily the best win since the Twins series before the ASB
