Not official, but Merkin tweeted it out last night and DVS had an article mostly laying it out.

while I tend to agree that I’d rather carry Micker than Mendick, sounds like the Decision was already made. Micker isn’t on the roster. So he’s either traded next 36 hours or DFAd.

He later clarified that he's not playing due to wet field conditions and tightness.

I don’t disagree that Sheets should be playing everyday somewhere. Chances are injuries will happen and both will get daily reps with the Sox most of the time. But as things sit right now, it’s Sheets riding the pine pony most days, not Vaughn. I don’t know why this is so hard for some people to grasp here (not directed as you). The Sox are not having AV sit on the bench against most RHP. Guy is going to be an elite offensive player in this league. I liked what I saw from Gavin last year and obviously the Sox need more balance in the lineup, but playing Sheets over AV regularly simply isn’t going to happen.

Probably more by default. Not like the Sox have a plethora of options. I guess I probably would have gone with ReyLo myself, but my guess is they're saving ReyLo to piggyback Kopech.

Dude, Vaughn isn't going to be a short side platoon player. Not sure how many times that needs to be stated.

Brewers need a catcher. Maybe Sox can glean a useful pitcher out of the Crew for Seby.

Would they even bother bringing him to Detroit? Sounds like the OD roster is set and he is not on it. Probably makes sense to just leave him in AZ until he finds a new home.

Yeah, I’m disagreeing.

I kind of doubt we roll with just 1 lefty unless Sousa gets hit around.

Crazy how the quickly the pen went from a major strength to a major question mark in a week.

Have you looked at their pitching staff? It’s A-W-F-U-L. Offense is gonna be good if they’re healthy tho.

1. Sox 95-67 2. Twins 83-79 3. Tigers 80-82 4. Indians 77-85 5. Royals 71-91

You just love talking Padres baseball on a Sox message board.

Hmmm. Figured they would have tried to make a waiver claim next couple days for the 14th man.

Well when you have arguably the best catcher in the game, there’s gonna be a dropoff. Fangraphs quite literally just yesterday ranked Sox #1 in terms of catcher depth chart after the trade. So yeah..

Being an Indians fan would be so awful.

Mieses is a monster of a man.

Who is this Xavier Fernandez cat? He’s hit 2 absolute bombs last 2 days. Can this guy catch at all?

Wrong thread but point remains.

Sheets is bad at RF.

Those were simpler days indeed.

Almost none. He'd just be there in case one of our oft-injured OFs (and frankly, they all pretty much fit the bill), hit the IL in April. Whether the 14th position player is Micker, Mendick or Seby, none of them will play.

I'd go ahead and schedule an appointment to get that neck looked at.

Yeah. I suspect if the Sox can't move him, he's insta claimed by the O's and he gets a chance there. If he flops, he's DFA'd again and probably gets handed around the league for a few months until he either sticks on a roster or eventually clears waivers and goes back to AAA.
