I hope they believe in them. If you are trying to win, you don't worry about what guys might be, let them force their hand when it happens.

Colas hasn't faced live pitching in a professional setting since 2019. There's no way he is being counted on as the RF for 2022 by the Sox. People need to stop writing him and Cespedes in as can't miss options.

Velasquez is a Boras Corp guy. Let your conspiracies run wild!

It's a business. They can't burn bridges or they risk not getting the good scoop, interviews, etc. If they don't do it, someone else will and they will be replaced.

I love Gavin, but I don't think the Sox should be married to keeping him around if he can be used in a deal to make the team better. Historically, he is terrible against LHP. I look at him as a solid strong side platoon bat, and I think the league will figure out a few things about him. How he adjusts, we'll see, but I'm not opposed to the idea now might be the time to "sell high."

Correct. Lopez is out of options. They now have to move Kimbrel to keep Lopez and Ruiz on the roster, unless Lopez is being floated as a trade chip.

This seems like a replacement for a long relief role. They can't possible look at him as starter potential. Even as depth, I'd put Lopez and Lambert ahead of him.

I didn't realize that, guess that isn't as terrible as I originally thought.

Wow. That is a surprise. That’s quite the asking price for a 1 year rental.

I would think of all nights to tweet that, tonight would make the most sense coming out of a lockout with tomorrow being the mandatory report date for players, hahaha

Don't make me regret believing you. ?

And Burr still has 2 options remaining.

Colome is gonna get torched in Coors.

Not thrilled with this. He's better than Mendick, but this better mean they have a good solution for RF.

Ginn was the Mets #5 prospect on MLB Pipeline's rankings for perspective.

I'd be thrilled with either.

Do people actually expect TLR to say "No." re: Kimbrel?

People need to step off the ledge. If LaRussa wants help, he’ll get it.

My Cubs fan friends are not too happy right now, haha

I think this is right on the money, assuming there isn't some sort of possible prospect swap with a Kimbrel return and/or Tony doesn't want him moved.

This is destroying the sport and there won't be a Sosa or McGuire to save it this time. What a complete embarrassment and clusterfuck all the way around.

Sounds to me like Ortiz might have some personal connections or interests in the whole buscones business.

He has some impressive power. Hit 8 HR's in just over 100 PA last season, hit 20 at AAA in 2019. No clue if he's decent behind the plate.
