I think Sheets right now is the odd man out if the Sox go with 13 pitchers. Goodwin's OPS is within 20 points of Sheets and offers more position flexibility. If they Sox go with 12 pitchers, Lopez is probably out unless he keeps pitching at a 1.29 ERA.

Well yeah, the US hosting it every year is not ideal. Should rotate between Mexico and Canada as well. I don't think any other country has the infrastructure to be a credible host, unless you want some of the games in subpar facilities. That's CONCACAF! Really could make an argument CONCACAF and CONMEBOL need to merge and it should just be the Copa Americas every 4 years.

The Gold Cup hasn't had an outside team invited since 2005. And you keep calling it a cash grab... Sure but UEFA doesn't run the Euros out of the goodness of their heart either, they also host that event to make themselves a lot of money. Now if you're saying it's stupid the Gold Cup is every 2 years then I agree.

Not the most exciting acquisition but he adds power and is under team control for 2022. He can just slide into the Leury utility role next season. He's also a better player than Leury.

Why would Eloy be out of the lineup? He'd DH.

Why would he play LF over Vaughn?

After Eloy's catch last night, he shouldn't be playing LF anymore.

I would say from what we've seen so far Sheets has a little more pop than Calhoun.

I would think Hamilton is kept as the defense/speed guy, but with Engel maybe not. I think Sheets may get sent down since he has options and so he can get regular reps, which probably won't happen with Eloy and Robert back.

It's happening!

I thought he'd cost at least 3/60 in the open market, so this is a win for the Sox.

Can't imagine a guy with a 7 ERA in AAA would be used in a spot start. I assume the Monday DH would go to Lambert who is performing well in Charlotte.

So far a lot to like about this draft class.

What? No he hasn't. He's an AL only player as he can only really play DH. And his value tanked when the league adjusted to him. And why would the Sox trade him to a contender in the chance it comes back to bite them?

We have the technology now so might as well use it to create a fair playing field.

Yermin just needs his confidence back and make some adjustments in AAA.

We need robot umps

No way, the Sox would have to give up pretty much any prospect worth anything that's left in the system to get him. Wouldn't be a bad idea but I don't see the Sox operating that way.

Engel sits again for no reason, another TLR moment of brilliance!

Ok I'll bite who does Parkman want traded in a white flag sell off (while the team is in first place)? Lynn and Rodon? Everyone else is cost controlled for a few more years at least. Also you aren't getting much for Lynn and Rodon since they are free agents after this year.

Ketel or Starling? Ketel would cost a lot as he's cost controlled until 2024.

My old pal Parkman! Never change.

Stiever is a legit pitching prospect and Sheet is putting up numbers in AAA. Frazier is under contract until 2022, I think it's a fair deal. Maybe add in a lotto ticket like Burdi.

Engel should play, he didn't play last night for Charlotte so you'd think that means he was on a plane last night.

Bunting against a Derek Holland who looked like he had nothing left, just awful managing. That seemed to kill all the momentum for the rest of the game too.
