Hector is the kiss of death to any rumor.

All of those options are worse than if the Sox just gut it out with Leury and Engel. That's probably why Jim Bowden hasn't GM'd for 10+ years.

Just out of curiosity, are you a medical professional or scientist? There are conflicting, scientific reports on both sides of the argument, that vaccination may or may not hinder spread. My wife was vaccinated and still tested positive several weeks later. She is a teacher and lives 8-4 in a petri dish. Vaccinated people can still spread the virus.

TA's contract extension lookin as hot as that YT intro montage.

I don't get it. Sox fans seem to love Joc, but not because they watch him play baseball. He was fucking awful last year, can't play defense and the Dodgers had zero interest in bringing him back. Compare him to Adam Eaton though.

Joc Career VS LHP: .191 .266 .310 .576 Eaton Career VS LHP: .272 .344 .351 .695 saying that Joc is only marginally worse than Eaton against LHP is just stupid.

Harold Reynolds also predicted Gordon Beckham was going to be a Hall of Famer.

I hope Liam isn't reading this thread. #WeAreBetterThanThis

SEA traded him to AZ

I was actually hoping last offseason they woulda targeted him. He fits well in a small park with all those sinkers.

wait........... what?????

A woman I *used to* work with once sent me unsolicited bathroom mirror selfies. Wife saw them sitting on my alerts... thought I was cheating on her. Try explaining that shit away. Took two weeks to get the coworker to explain herself.

Oh no! I hope he didn’t think I was calling him old!

Can we all agree that the Omar Narvaez / Alex Colome trade was a massive W for Rick Hahn?

So Jose Abreu is M\ .... and not MVP. 37%... Duly noted.

"Good Representation is vital." Yikes.

one of the food guys tweeted that Hendriks' wife is Canadian, so the seed for this has been planted.

Is this the same type of argument that Gio's no-hitter wasn't impressive because it came against the Pirates' "garbage offense"?

...we're all splitting hairs and yelling at each other... over a player that isn't going to sign here.

Does this mean we can all collectively “move on”? He’s old. He’s a JR hire. He got pinched for a DUI. Can we all stop trying to outdo each other with the TLR lamentations?

This is the same guy who paid $700,000 to a "professional tanner" and a convicted felon for dirt on A-Rod.

From my terribly pessimistic fan-perspective, his whole conversation stinks. We have owners wanting to shorten the season, likely resulting in another round of partial salaries to contracts they signed to pay. On the other side we have agents and the player union calling them out for it. There's no place for politicking sports. I don't think we have the commissioner to properly navigate it either. Watch "Screwball" on Netflix if you want to know exactly what kind of leader Manfred is. I just want to watch baseball, dammit.

KW said the only job he would quit the Sox for was the Raiders GM.

Just a reminder that 75% of Hendriks' career WAR came from ONE of his 10 seasons in the majors, his 2019 season. Also playing devil's advocate here, but ... the dude's 31 years old. Do you really want to set the reliever market by signing him to a top of the market deal for what could potentially be his "wrong side of 30" regression?

Its actually "Chris Martin" There was a study done by PR firms in the early 2000s regarding names that could be signed on "Customer Service" letters sent out to owners of products (typically cars and household appliances). Those letters are signed "Chris Martin" because it is the most non-offensive, generic name possible.
