If not legit, handling this way would be silly letting valued time tick. Just option the dude and put him on the development list or take it slow in AAA to give him a break if that is all it is. I am sure its legit-ish, just hopefully not serious.

Not the corresponding move I was hoping for.

Jacob Gonzalez was a bonafide bust prior to like 4-5 weeks ago when he got hot. It's great to see him raking, and let's hope it continues. But the Sox don't need someone at the positions he can play. Sox likely prefer he stay hot by playing everyday versus riding the pine in the big leagues. Nishida has actually been playing the OF regularly for a few seasons. Gonzalez is not a good runner and could not play the OF. Gonzalez will get his chance if he continues to hit, but the Sox owe him nothing.

Yep. Unable to access from my phone. Sucks. Only can access at work, and well --- I am buried at work these days.

It is his turn in the rotation. I doubt they get him off schedule. Either opener for or piggyback off Burke today, then reassess.

Its just tantalizing talent you can dream on. I definitely understand why Getz wanted to hold hoping for the best. Its not like his value was ever great in Getz' tenue. You can always state "well they should have traded him post 2023", and that obviously is true now -- but he was coming of a 5 fWAR season and looked like he might actually become the next Mike Trout. So I can at least recognize why Hahn didn't move him.

Who is he blocking at this exact point? That could certainly change in a month or two, but for now, there isn't a better (realistic) option.

I doubt that. He's 28. I think Robert still has plenty in the tank. But he's never going to play 130+.

Sucks for Robert man. So much talent wasted with that guy.

Appreciate the effort! Can I get a super abbreviated cliffnotes version of the issue?

They gotta fix it. Ever since the update. My Soxtalk consumption down like 1,000%.

Psh, phone? I haven't had access to Soxtalk on my phone since like February. Absolutely blows.

84 wins could win this division. Why not the Sox? I will always choose to believe, because fandom is a lot more fun when you do!

He won't be here long.

May as well ride the hot hand. He's been scorching hot after a brutal first 2 weeks.
