    2 guys the Sox could really use off the board. Not a good afternoon

    Of players that are/were realistically available, I don't think there's a better fit in baseball for the Sox than Joey Gallo

    The system needs to be built back up to a point where premium players like this are realistically attainable.

    Wait, I missed something, what's the deal with Cease?

    Cease would normally be scheduled to start Sunday on normal rest, but for some reason the Sox Sunday starter is currently TBA.

    FWIW, Jimmy Lambert only went 2 IP.  Could mean #hugwatch, or he is getting the Cease TBA start, or nothing.

     

    I'm probably worrying about nothing, but I hope everything is okay with Cease.

    But escobars medical!

    I didn't know what to make of it because the article may have just been other executives sensing an opportunity to lower his value, but the whispers about Story having an injury are definitely concerning

    "

    Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is one of the biggest names on the trade market, but mostly by reputation. Story, 28, is in the middle of his worst offensive season, and some baseball people are alarmed by his poor throwing.

    “His throws look off and have all year,” one rival executive said.

    Statcast numbers support the executive’s observation. The average velocity on the top 10 percent of Story’s throws is 78.1 mph, down from 80.4 last season and an average of 85.4 the four previous years. More traditional numbers also point to a decline: Story has made six throwing errors, one short of his career-high."

    The cost for Escobar will almost certainly be cheaper, and he's been a better player than Story so far in '21.

    But if the Sox prefer Story and want to bet on his track record/upside, fair enough. But they better land him if that's the case because Escobar just went for a nothing return and he would have been a massive addition to this team.

    Don't think the farm system is holding them back from getting Escobar.

     

    The cost for rentals has been higher than I was expecting. We know they liked Escobar. I hope you're right.

    For some reason I had it in my head that Luke Shilling had TJS. Glad to see he was back for WS tonight and pitched a scoreless inning with 2 K's. He's someone who I'd think will be in Birmingham soon if he's healthy and the stuff is back.

    Adolfo only having 1 option year left really hurts his trade value. He's about to be 25 and he just had a 35% k rate in AA. Expecting him to stick permanently on a major league roster beginning next April just doesn't seem realistic to me, even for a rebuilding club. Odds are you'll be DFAing him in Spring Training or early next year, so why not target a player with a better chance to stick? The returns for Cruz and Chafin indicate you can get decent prospects with ~3 options year left for good rental players.
