It doesn't but it would sure be nice to be on the other side of having a rental make you better for 2 months. BTW who is going t replace Houser? Clevinger?

Sox at Angels 8:38 CDT 8/1
That would also depend other teams getting worse. That also depends on team health. The worst is the TJ virus.

I ended my Reinsdorf exile in July. I probably watched more Sox games than I did the past 2 seasons.

Bad teams are bad at that. It's rare because they are bad teams. The draft is also the roll of the dice. Odd how these great teams always seem to get better deadline deals which should be renamed salary dump time. We always think of removing a players but replacing them is the bigger issue. Look at all of the teams that gave up and they may have guys on the farm to replace them. The Sox don't. When you pull a guy from AAA, you have to replace them as well. There is also the injury factor. We are so into the science but ignore the results. Right now the dumpster dive just gained more clients. If you have a good farm you can do that stuff. Even if you have a good farm it still can't overcome bad ownership. Look at all of the studs from the A's system and yet every year they are MLB's biggest farm system. I wish MLB could create a set of rules to eliminate bad ownership but yet no sport really does this. I think their lack of trades is because there is no replacements.

Red Sox "more interested in" Civale than Houser
only if you ignore "one of the worst pens in baseball" part. Stepping away from the trade frenzy, you still would have to replace those guys. Then the question is how? Even dumpsters get emptied once a week.

Yankees acquire Austin Slater for RHP Gage Ziehl
Well now that makes sense.

Yankees acquire Austin Slater for RHP Gage Ziehl
So my ? is why did the Yankees make that trade? Maybe it is fools gold. So is this guy going to be put in Charlotte?

Dick Allen Hall of Fame Weekend...
Any Sox fan would have to be in their 60's to recognize Dick Allen.

The worst team in a multi team trade still ends up being the worst team. Bad habits never die among bad GMs.

Attendance update...
Paying players not to play for the team and yet holding on to Grifol way too long. Interesting.
