What is the deal with Shields? Can he opt out next off season? If so, then Sox can offer him a 1 year QO at approx. $16-17 Mill? Which, if taken by him, the Sox will be on the hook for the entire amount and Pads are off same hook? Then, if some team signs him, Sox get draft pick?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 10:25 PM) Can you summarize for us out of towners who can't watch the post game interviews, please? Sale loves his teammates. They really stood behind him. He wants to pitch.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 07:23 PM) Welp looks like another 1 run effort by our offense. At least it's not a shutout ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Our third base coach almost made this a shutout.

Curbelo at # 7?

Trade value going down.

I think he meant perennial all stars, with others being solid MLB players.

Bosox have sunk $64 Million into Moncada. Complicates it for sure.

Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers. 5-11. 1.64 WHIP. On a 3 game losing streak. Vs Don't know? Sale? Pitching shirtless? Quintana? 8-8. 1.13 WHIP. Tigers handled him last month. Tune in later for update.

Wonder if Robertson was ever discussed with Cubs prior to their trade with Seattle

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) Surprised at how many Red Sox fans on Son of Sam Horn realized it would take Moncada+ for Sale and how many were cool with that. Seems like most their fanbase will be happy as long as they don't lose any of the three B's in a Sale trade. Betts, Bradley, and ?

Matt Boyd (1-2) vs Chris Sale (14-3, 1.01 WHIP) First Game Thread for the oldest SoxTalk member. Concession game for Detroit? Or showcase game for Chris? Please let Sale finish what he starts this time.

I woke up this morning with ESPN's Mike and Mike, with Buster Olney on as the guest. Buster talked in detail of Sox trading Sale to either Boston or Texas. Then I went back to sleep.

Now the Charlotte Knights will fall apart.

Was anyone warming up in Sox bullpen when Lind crushed that ball? Today's Managers are very reluctant to replace their closer when game is on the line and the closer is obviously struggling. Especially RV.

I wondered why he did not play yesterday -- now we know. Pretty sure Sox will give him chance at CF next year if he does okay at Charlotte.

I have a different slant on the HRD. I don't like it; I don't watch it. Therefore, it doesn't exist. Kinda like the tree falling in the forest with no one around. Makes no noise. Now, Southsider's Batting Average Derby might be more compelling to watch.

Boston is not going to trade Moncada. Period, to coin a phrase. Sox could have gotten a major package from Boston for Q in the off season, before they signed Price. That was the time to pull the trigger. Robertson might have value with the Cubs.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) So it looks like Cooper has fixed Shields....at least for now. 4 good starts in a row; went 8 last night. Assuming Hahn has seen reality re this team's chances.... is now the time to flip him? Yes. In real estate, it's called The Greater Fool Theory. If someone will take him, as long as it is better deal than Tatis, do it.

Hawk's ego was involved with the Dombrowski firing. Not sure who called for LaRussa's. I thought it was the owner's call.

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jul 17, 2016 -> 11:39 AM) Does anyone know how Turner has looked in AAA this year? Yes.

Yes, he is a very good prospect. #4 on Bosox list. 18 yrs old.

Bosox got Pomerantz from Padres. No word on who they gave up. Bet it's less than what Hahn gave. We'll know soon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 04:51 PM) He is going to Winston Salem tomorrow. Just now saw your post on the other thread. I should have read them in different order.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) I wouldn't be surprised to see Alfaro called state side very soon. Sox AZL team has four catchers on the roster now, including Zach Collins.
