Wow, I would have guessed $500-750k. Great gig.

You really think Stoney gets paid millions? I highly doubt it. I am sure he makes a nice living, but I'd be shocked if it was into 7 figures. Your point remains, tho.

Seems they're going to use him as a high leverage arm for now. I think pulling him there was absolutely the right call. He could not find the strike zone and with Greene getting pinch hit, get the lefty in there.

Nah. They should definitely wait 2 more weeks. They should be let Baldwin play SS and Sosa 2B most days tho.

These games have been soooooo boring this season.

While Oscar clearly isn't liked by the org, the fact they sent him to AA rather than just sitting on the bench in AAA tells me they at least want to let him play. They could have just completely doghoused him in CharlottE or released him. But ya, your point remains.

Greg Jones is now the only other OF on the 40 man and that dude obviously isn't ready for consistent MLB at bats. Will be interesting.

Really is. Feel like that's been an automatic hit against all Sox RFs not named Adam Eaton over last decade.

So Beni hurt I take it? Weird for the broadcast to make no mention of it.

Very disappointing start to the season for Robert after a solid spring. Looks like he's in one of his stretches at the plate where he has no chance. Always been streaky as he'll, but you'd sure think the guy would be playing for his future. Both to be traded but also to get the option picked up. Duplicate his 24 season and he's going to have some tepid FA agent interest in the offseason compared to having a monster 25.

Well if they want him to play at all, AAA pretty crowded. Oscar has gotta be in a bad place right now mentally.

Really is. I have legitimately zero interest in watching him play. Rojas hopefully will be back soon and we can end that experiment.

A thread of Fathom negativity is sure a fun read!

Hasn't that been on the table for weeks at this point? Wasn't he one of the 6 - Thorpe, Berroa, Bush, Carela, Larson and Adams?

Agreed. Keep running him out there please.

That last ball he hit is halfway up the bleachers more times than it's not. Not saying he's good, but seems like a weird time to bag on him.

Just a matter of time until WhiteSox2023 jumps on the Sheets bandwagon and lambastes the Sox endlessly for letting go of such an elite talent.

Lame post

Crochet is making $3.6M this year. He won't make more than $10M next year even if he wins the Cy. If his arm blows up over his next 65 starts, which is extremely likely IMO, he's never even coming close to sniffing that kind of money. I think this is a great deal for Garrett and one with significant risk for the Red Sox.

He gets his big deal.

Very nice. Sox could easily be 4-0, but Sat/Sun look a lot like the 24 club. Twins look horrific. Kick them while they're down!

Jake Burger is worthless on this roster. Bad trade yes. But he is not the solution and never was.

Digging the movement on Vasils pitches.

Well since Eder is gone, I'd definitely take 3 random guys. Still a little surprised with the Sox handling of Eder. I'd much rather try him out over 4-5 guys on the 40 man. But I don't pretend to know more about these players than they people making these decisions. It just felt like Eder could still be a big leaguer. Is what it is. Definitely a bad trade by the former regime, I just think its comical how many Sox fans think Burger is way better than he actually is. The Sox BADLY needed to get away from players like Jake Burger.

Jake Burger isn't good though. Yes he can run into some homers. Yes he is a likeable guy. No, Eder did not work out. But lets not act like the Fish made out like bandits. They saw what they had in Burger and dumped him for 2 guys that are incredibly unlikely to ever be big league contributors. Burger has to be one of the most overrated players in baseball by this fanbase. He can hit a bit, but not enough to be a DH, and he can't field a position. I wish him well, but he would have no purpose on this roster.
