Yikes. Sox have played some really bad baseball of late.

No. Marshall to 60 day.

I knew Tauchmann was having a rough year. Guess I didn’t realize it was quite as bad is it has been. The 19-20 version would certainly be a useful platoon bat, but that version may be gone.

He’s better than Brian Goodwin.

Sox should acquire.

Lol this should be an entertaining game.

What would Cease have to do with a Tepera trade? Thinking Lambert was the return? If so, why was he starting yesterday at all? This stuff was out well before 7pm. Lopez makes more sense, and if Portillos actually knows anything (doubtful, but maybe if fed some little crumbs), he basically insinuated it was Tepera for Lopez.

I don't think so. Leury joins the Engel/Goodwin/Sheets rotation in RF, but Engel is playing against LHP which is what Leury hits better. This move reduces Leurys play, not increases.

Alright. I will let you remain outraged. The Sox got better and there wasn't exactly a plethora of options for big impact bats at 2B. The best options were all having terrible seasons.

Nothing about this is a disaster man. Deep breaths. Escobar and Hernandez have quite literally been the same player this year, and one is a better defender. And that one isn't Escobar. I too would have preferred EE, but this is far from a disaster.

2B. And Hernandez becomes Leury next year, if the Sox want to keep him.

I am not in love with this move either, but Hernandez is a superior player to Leury. Hernandez a lifetime 100 wRC+ hitter; Leury 77. Hernandez an above average defensive 2B. Leury is not. I would have preferred Escobar, but Hernandez has basically been the same player this year with better defense. Is it a sexy move? Absolutely not. But Pilkington is not exactly a focal point of our future and the team got better. Now go trade some 40 man stuff like Lambert, Lopez and Adolfo for some bullpen help.

I'd be terrified to see what that would cost and how much it would handcuff any offseason moves since the dude makes a boatload of $. Until I see it, I just won't project a payroll north of $130M for this club. Paying 2 relievers $30M just seems like a bad way to enter next season. Kimbrel is good....but paying him that, plus trading a couple nice prospects for him (god forbid someone like Crochet). I wouldn't be a fan even though I know it makes the team better in 21.

Let's win this one and score lots of runs while doing it.

So why should the Sox take on another poor RF, that is paid like a star, and remove their ability to use that money towards actually filling that hole this offseason? Taking on Charlie Blackmon in frankly any capacity would be an absolutely horrible use of resources for this organization.

Easy answer: you don't. These moving Moncada around ideas that get thrown here everyday sound great in a video game to patch holes. They don't work in reality.

Sox aren't moving Moncada for anyone, especially not a dude controlled for 2 months.

My guesses on the deadline deals because I am bored: Ryan Tepera for Reynaldo Lopez and Konnor Pilkington Josh Harrison, Daniel Hudson and Kyle Schwarber for Jimmy Lambert, Micker Adolfo, Jose Rodriguez and Yermin Mercedes

How did Puckett end up in the Braves system? Minor league phase of rule 5? He's having a nice season.

Seems like like nothing. Day off tomorrow and see him back out there Friday hopefully.

He’s 4th in the league in RBI. Obviously there is more to the game, but he’s got plenty left.

Ummm why isn’t EloY hitting

Gotta be exhausting going through life like you do.

Yeah I hate it. But he’s the best one they got other than Liam. They just need to sprinkle in a few starts and some longer outings. Hoping they do it - they know he’s a SP.

Parkman MUST FOCUS ON NEGATIVES
