Is the official schedule out anywhere?

When nothing happens, all I hope is they slide Yoan over to 2b and put Burger back in. Please

Only partial joke. I want the Sox to finally be on the good end of an "eat a bad contract to get a player for less prospects" trade. Spend some of that money uncle Jerry saved these last 5 years

Give me Kimbrel, Bryant, and Heyward. Eat all the money to help out the poor Ricketts & minimize the prospect cost

We really showed the league we mean business by not playing the service manipulation game with Vaughn so that we could get 14 ABs and bench him after every out. Gonna look back in October and pat ourselves on the back for that one.

It's possible to be super excited about the team (which I am) AND also upset that the 85 year old cheap fuck of an owner isn't capitalizing on this once in a possibly lifetime cheap roster by spending money & hiring his fossil drinking buddy to coach (which I am) The choice shouldn't have been: trust a young guy or sign a shaky veteran that will likely fail. It should have been: offer blank checks out to the top free agents that fill the couple real holes on the roster & use those young guys as depth (which we are extremely lacking on).

It's not really about "did they spend what they were trying to spend on Machado". Its: "the window is wide f'in open right now"...and they're rolling with no right fielder, a rookie DH, 2 young wildcards in the rotation, all while having a cheap core. Holes could EASILY be filled by JR parting with a couple of his coins. Instead what I fear is this time next year we go in saying "man if we just get a right fielder, a DH, and another starter and we just might make it to the ALCS"

Kopech - start in the minors to get confidence back and the extra control year then plop into the rotation. Move to bullpen for playoffs. Crochet- wait out his inevitable TJ, hope that it hits early on so the surgery can happen asap.

I do love that the needs going into this off season (RF, SP, Reliever) are going to be exactly the same next off season because of how cheap the shit owner of this team is.

1 year rental. We now need Jerry to pony up for RF and he won't so...neat

2 of the last 3 managers of the Sox had to be talked into managing if Old Tone is hired. Truly remarkable

Started looking at who will still be on the team in 2024 after 3 disastrous years with Larussa and they fire the 80 year old to start over fresh yet again.

It was almost impossible to screw this up and yet it sounds like they found a way. In utter disbelief we're hiring a drunk senior citizen who hasn't coached in over a decade & failed in the front office to oversee the best group of young talent this franchise has ever had. Completely and totally insane. Nothing says "change the game" and a bunch of young exciting players than Tony Fucking Larussa.

Dayan Viciedo played RF for many years. My vote would be Vaughn/Eloy/Abreu play some combo of LF/1B/DH. And get a decent RF so the outfield isn't an entire black hole defensively.

What an absolute joke having Edwin in this lineup. Either A) Nobody above Ricky has the ability to tell him to fuck off with these shit lineups B) The people above Ricky agree the .100 hitting Edwin needs to be in the lineup over Mcann (or literally anyone else on the roster)
