And to think people wanted to keep him. This is what Robert is. The guy just simply cannot stay healthy.

Well, that's a relief.

Happy for Davis. He deserves a shot. Have to imagine Winkelman isn't far behind.

I think it's just a sign of the times that today's managers have different expectations put on them. The game evolves, and their responsibilities are no longer revolve around the lineup unless a guy needs a day off or something off the field is affecting a player the metrics don't have the ability to see. Personally, I have no issues with advanced metrics crunching numbers to produce the most 'effective' lineup for a particular matchup. Winning teams follow this formula. The issue is the Sox have a heap of role players, bench bats, and AAAA types filling out the majority of their lineup, so these types of players aren't going to be hitting that 90th percentile the metrics are aiming to achieve.

Davitt was already optioned to make room for Cannon. I'm pretty sure Cannon will be sent back to Charlotte, hurt or not.

He isn't on it. He's a lotto ticket type player.

Good for Schultz, he's been dominant in Charlotte. The 1st of many key pieces that will make his debut this season.

I'll take his 5 year career average with the Sox over overreacting with his first 13 games with the Mets when predicting the guy's value. And salary dump or not, they did spend the money they ended up saving by moving him. You don't have to like what they spent it on, but they didn't pocket it.

Robert was a sunk cost on this team. He missed 47% of his games with the Sox due to injury. Why do Sox fans fall in love and die on the sword for mediocre players?

Well, let's hope the Sox don't get cute and go with the easy choice at 1-1.

Didn't see this posted yet, but Schweitzer back to Charlotte after today's game.

Schultz looked amazing. Believe he retired 10 straight after the rough 1st inning. Really great to see the kid get his velo back and fully healthy.

Never had a whole lot of faith he's gonna stick in the MLB, but I guess we'll find out. Hopefully they send Murphy to Charlotte.

Where was this? I must have missed that and I'd love to hear it.

Realistically, Antonacci probably needs some more time in the OF anyways. Harris is expendable if they need to cut someone down the road.

Nothing wrong with it, what's being said by Japanese fans is that the font being used (across MLB, not exclusive to the Sox) is not aesthetically pleasing to Japanese culture. It's a design flaw made by a designer at Fanatics that didn't do due diligence researching it. Anyone with the basic knowledge of Kanji, understands that the flow, balance, and elegance of the characters is just as important as the characters themselves. Think of it as Japanese calligraphy. The Munetaka kanji jersey's fail to capture the essence of that style. Look at a Japanese uniform if you want to see the visual difference being pointed out.

Bannister certainly has a type. Still haven't exactly seen anything positive with these type of moves, but Nikhazy was a top 30 prospect for the Guardians a few years back.

They can send Peters down, and place Vasil on the 60-day IL.

Is that even legal? The way I understand PTBNL is you have to present a list of players at the time of the trade to choose between. How could the Red Sox put Paez on a list if he isn't in their organization at the time of the trade? Unless I'm misunderstanding how it works, I don't think he can be included in that particular trade.

I'm sure he's a nice guy, but being a nice guy doesn't mean you deserve a job you're under-qualified for.

I don't think anyone's brought it up, but I'd be willing to create a banner if anyone wants - I'd just need the Soxtalk logo in a PNG format and sizing specs.

And it was deserved. Lots of changes were made since he left, and $1.2M keeps a lot of people happy. Lee has to be the odd man out. Haven't there been rumors the Sox staff doesn't like throwing to him?

Was always going to be tough to carry both him and Paez.

Digging the dark mode.

Vasil is likely out for a while if not all year - at least that's where it seems headed.
