I am not so sure. Billy will take one spot. I imagine a reliever would take the other. The Sox may also want to carry 3 catchers. I am not sure Sheets is going to be back in September unless an injury requires it, or the Sox decide to cut Lamb.

Minor league season goes through the end of September of this year.

Nailed that

I think he may just get released today for the 40 man spot ala Tyler Johnson, and Sox try to sign him back.

I'd be surprised. He can still be optioned for another season and this isn't an arm you give up on unless you have to.

It'll be one of Rutherford, Gonzalez, Adolfo, or Mercedes. None have futures with the Sox, unfortunately. I think all would get claimed except Gonzalez (he's hurt anway), so that would be my play and wait until the fall to make the moves on the other 3. But yeah, I don't see any of those guys appearing in Chicago moving forward. Makes me sad on Adolfo.

I assume Sheets will be the corresponding move, and the kid deserves a round of applause. Go down and rake in AAA for the next month and maybe find yourself back in Chicago in September. Well done, kid!

I would think TA will be out today since he was supposed to sit last night. But that was his best game in a while so maybe they don't want to sit him now. I will be in attendance tonight and tomorrow. Let's get some dubs!

I hope not. That means Yaz is out until after Labor Day.

ReyLo has been awesome. But he still has ALOT of work to do to convince the Sox not to non-tender him in December. He’ll be between $3-4M in arb. But if he keeps throwing like this they’ll probably have to bring him back. But that’s a big if.

I can pretty much guarantee you the Sox won’t be the high bidders on Rodon. Ride him hard.

Yasmani has been very sorely missed. Dude makes an enormous difference on this team.

Lol. Sometimes pitchers give up hits.

Not sure, but 9 spot is exactly where I want him once Robert and Yaz are back. Alas, they aren't tho, so 2nd spot is better - especially against RHP.

Completely agree. I think they're just scared to punt him. We're a Goodwin or Sheets injury away from being super duper short on lefty bats again. I think they'll just option Sheets for Robert and trying to make it til 9/1. Then call up Sheets and Zavala (goes does when Yaz comes back). Would be nice to have another arm in the pen, but I would think they'd want a 3rd catcher, and I don't see them not brining Sheets back. Edit: but that doesn't include Billy, who I think they'd want. So honestly, not sure. Guessing they're just trying to keep him in the org in case they need him, but the more I think about it, his roster spot is much better used elsewhere.

Seeing as though Lamb has made 2 starts at 3B this year, I think they trust Leury at 3B quite a bit more than Lamb.

I know you're just joking, but I do think his 20 days are up on Monday. So if they want to keep him AAA, they're going to have to option him after this weekend which I highly doubt they'll do.

Sheets lives to fight another day.

Said it many times before, and I’ll say it many times again. Yaz is the glue of this team. He’s the perfect fit. He counteracts a lot of what this team does poorly. Is he a perfect player? No but he’s really damn good and the squad misses him dearly. Doesn’t help that Collins flopped with his chance at extended play and Zeby is at best a well below replacement level player.

TBF, Reylo has been nails in the pen. Doesn’t have it tonight tho.

Lol he’s fine. Just had to do his show first.

OMG I broke my foot! -Yoan

Probably cause Eloy is going to be in LF 2 of the 3 Cubs games, and they want Vaughn in RF those games. So getting him reps.

Who are some of the names you expect the Sox to protect?
