Don’t forget about Vera.

Tyler Johnson seems like a realistic surprise call-up option.

That would be amazing though I highly, highly doubt we see that. D-Backs have Marte at 2B, and trading away their best starter for a light hitting 2B when they have an outside chance to get into the playoffs would be very questionable decision. They started the year terrible but have been on a run recently to put them back into playoff talks.

No clue. Maybe someone along the lines of Trevor Williams? Though, I must admit he's quite underwhelming if you ask me. All the Pirate's 'good' arms are out with injuries.

Have to assume if there was a chance for a deal, it's going to be with teams that are well out of it. I'd be surprised if Arizona or Houston trade anything out of their rotations right now.

Anderson's wife makes him spaghetti for every HR he hits. He has a lot of spaghetti dinners coming up!

FIFY

Can we consider this a must-win game? Sox need to step up and destroy this inferior team this week.

One thing possibly worth mentioning, Gonzalez actually has reverse splits and has hit lefties better than righties for his career splits. Granted, we're talking about only 306 AB's, but he might actually be a better option against some lefties than Mazara.

He got off to a horrid start and turned it around at the middle to back end of 2019. Check out his monthly splits, he was at or over .700 for the final 3 months.

No, the extra spot is due to the double header. That’s why Flores was sent back down after those games. Someone needs to be DFA or sent down.

I'd bring back Mazara, and sign Pederson to replace EE. Use DH for Eloy, Mazara, Pederson. If Mazara sucks you can always get rid of him when Vaughn is ready.

I personally like Collins, but I'm sure he's the next guy on that will be painted as the whipping boy of this fan base.

Now that Delmonico is gone, what will people b**** about? *Zack Collins immediately hides in his locker*

He might be one of my least favorite Sox players ever. The shit he pulled last year was criminal.

Even with EE and Madrigal out, this honestly isn't that bad of a lineup.

Definitely could have been a way worse of an outcome.

6-GAME WIN STREAK!

Not good. Lock it up Colome!

Narvaez is such a shit catcher.

I thought he jammed his wrist with the way it hit it. Hopefully it's not too serious.

Hopefully there aren't any setbacks here. Losing both Rodon and him would not be good.

Not necessarily. He hasn't shown much if any success at the Double-A level. He would most likely be incredibly overmatched at the MLB level. Being out of options entering 2021 does not help his cause either. I'm going to go with this. Looking at his minor league stats, my guess would be the Sox simple don't see him ever being able to have enough success with the bat to be anything more than a weak-side platoon player or defensive replacement. He has a terrible .230 average against RHP the last 4 years with a 27% K rate, which really doesn't really make him all that different from what Engel currently provides. Luis Gonzalez would really be his only competition in the minors, and he has shown far greater success than Basabe. It's an off move since Delmonico is still here, but that'll be moot fairly soon once Anderson returns.

Florida is also a hot mess. I have a friend whose wife works for one of the hotels. There are many grubhub orders and girls constantly trying to be brought in against protocol. Probably just a matter of time before they have an issue as well.

Very surprised they cut ties with Herrera as soon as they did. I think we can thank Heuer for that. Excited to see what Nick can do tonight.
