Does MLB hold the 2022 draft if they are still in the work stoppage?

Many veteran players do not like ST, so a settlement will not happen before 3/15, IMO.

Why do so many posters say that Moncada will not move to second?

Wow, never thought I would see this mentioned on SoxTalk. I knew those guys who ran it. Quite a story.

Respectfully disagree. Sox won't get anything worthwhile for Kimbrel.

About mid=season next year, someone will write a story about the most overpaid players in MLB, and Kimbrel we be very close to the top of that list.

I had forgotten that he was part of the Bucky Dent trade.

Of course, he is. Of course, he doesn't.

Nope. Foulke wanted more money, something like $ 6 Million, or whatever. So they made the trade to save a few bucks, and then they gave Koch a raise to match Foulke. Foulke stayed successful and Kock didn't.

Future Senator?

Kind of a modern day Ross Gload?

Nice wife, tho.

Interesting. Nice catch.

Why? I just don't get it. I look at his stats, and I'm not excited. You have probably seen him play more than I have, I would be interested in why you like him so much.

I can't define "late break", but I know it when I see it.

Never is a big word. I agree with your first two predictions.

Boras smarter than Hahn.

And, yet, they boxed themselves into a corner by letting Charlie Blackmon sign an option for $21 Million for 2022.

Next stop for Posey is HOF.

Relax, man. It was just a tidbit of information that was appropriate for this thread on this message board.

Eaton was released on July 13. Looks like Sox are on the hook for his $1 Million buyout.

What's really goofy is that Cleveland traded Rosario for 90 year old Pablo Sandoval, all 300 pounds of him, and they immediately cut Pabs. Trade should not have been allowed.

Great post, thanks. This is the Best of Soxtalk, to get background like this on an important issue.

Statute of Limitations apply.

If Melvin does well in San Diego, he will get HOF consideration.
