    Interesting. Sox fans will focus on Lopez though they obviously shouldn’t. 

    I think it is just funny that we had to get a KC guy who will probably compete at 2B/SS

    Did he say that today - that is actually very refreshing to here. To be honest - outside of keeping Grifol, I can't really argue with much he has done since he took the job. I do recognize keeping Grifol is a huge component - but its also fair to wonder whether he had a choice in the matter anyway?  I have never got the impression that JR wants to pay a mgr to not manage. Will he eventually - yes, but after one season, not unless it is an abjunct disaster (and yes '23 was a disaster - but isn't Bevington the only time he has done it in his era - thinking back to Bulls/Sox ownership)?  

    I feel like at this point Grifol is just a sacrificial lamb. It is obvious we aren't competing this year, so why fire a guy and have to pay him to bring someone else in so this team can still lose 100 games because of the roster construction?

    He might’ve been a scapegoat but the Giants fired Kapler, a winning manager. The Cubs just fired David Ross, a winning manager. The Mets fired Buck Showalter, a winning manager.

    And the Sox won’t fire Grifol. Make it make sense. 

    Nobody wants to come to the Sox at this point. We aren't competing

    When he was worth -0.5 fWAR and being paid $4 million for the last 2 months? 

    Again, who would want him?

    I highly doubt there wouldn't have been one team to take a flier on him for the rest of the year. Hahn/KW just didn't want to take a deal, they probably planned to accept his option so didn't want to take just anything for him
