Yep. Whole lot of stupid prevent a cool thing.

I can’t support a rebuild with the same group of assholes running the show. Hahn should have been fired years ago. Only thing you can do right now is hope for some miraculous lightning in a bottle season followed by the death of Jerry so we can escape this hell.

They’re… dead.

Really feels imperative they take 1 game. Taking both is a pipedream unfortunately.

Always thought the intro in “Halo” by Machine Head would be a great bullpen entrance.

I don't know how anyone can properly evaluate Pedro right now. The bullpen is a complete mess right now, and they would make any manager look bad. If they pitched just middle of the pack this team would be sitting at .500 ball right now. Considering the human turd this team had the last two years running things, I'm willing to give Pedro a huge leash to try and right the ship. I can say with 100% certainty that TLR is by far the worst Sox manager I've ever seen in my lifetime.

Well, positive is Benny is fine. Phantom IL move for Alberto certainly is something.

Haseley can still be optioned too. Marisnick or Reyes would both need to be DFA'd to be sent back down.

I still can't get over they actually found someone willing to pay to acquire him.

Bob most definitely has sources.

Jomboy says in the video Trevor Plouffe confirmed that batters can see stuff like that because they are constantly looking for tip offs.

Has to be a DFA - 40 man is full and Middleton needs to be added.

I'd rather see Banks up personally. Diekman is a sunk cost and they are trying to get to some bridge between him and Crochet most likely. I agree though - such a short leash with Ruiz, you'd expect the same with Diekman.

Don't forget the Dodgers traded Jordan Alvarez for Josh Fields (the pitcher). Every team has their fair share of L's on the trade front or through talent evaluation if you look hard enough. The Sox biggest problem is the inability to spend over those mistakes. It's been that way for 40 years.

I think that Marcus Semien comp I've seen floated around makes a lot of sense. Nothing particularly special, but extremely solid.

Yeah, I would say that is a safe bet.

Amazing. This is fantastic.

He definitely has. I loved the pickup at the time. Has a chance to be a steal considering what was given up for him.

Assuming the Sox go with 13 pitchers, I guess that means Gregory Santos made the team.

For league minimum he’s the perfect two week replacement for a team that needs a backup while someone is hurt. He’ll be one of those guys that bounces around a team or two I bet.

I think he's going to be a pretty decent UTL guy for this team next few years.

Having a real hard time seeing both Haseley and Alberto not making this team. Sox would need to do some roster maneuvering too. Neither are on the 40-Man and they still have to add Colas.

I honestly thought he was hit in the face by the other guy's knee. Maybe just hit in the chest though. It's tough to see what part actually collided with him.

Great stuff as always.
