Thx. Thats what I thought.

See, I forgot that Keuchel is left handed. That's how little he factors into the rotation in my brain.

I trade Sheets, not Vaughn. I don't love Joc but I'd take him over any Sheets/Vaughn/Engel amalgam pretending to play RF on a regular basis.

They have ties to Giolito, right? Or am I thinking something else?

The rotation could use a lefty as well.

I'm not seeing any buzz about that "trade" anywhere, so it would seem that account is more fake rumor.

Same. I was all in on Harper and was honestly never overly interested in Manny.

If his market is depressed at all by a down year, an opt out after 1 makes sense. Maybe they are holding out for a 5th year with the same opt outs. Who knows.

I haven't seen Conforto's name attached to any team beyond fans wishing for it. It kind of odd IMO.

They deserve credit where its due, but they've had more misses post rebuild that hits. It is completely fair to criticize them for their mistakes and poor resource allocation. I think we could all do without the constant rehashing of those mistakes, but that's probably too much to ask of this board.

Ah, good to know. Thanks.

A random Bruce Levine mention during the lockout, but nothing since. Not even a whisper from anyone in the know that the Sox are interested.

Not sure if you're being facetious, but Hahn never said Vaughn is going back to Charlotte.

I could see that.

Yeah, I'm not expecting it either, but I'm desperate for them to do anything meaningful to address RF.

Good for Schwarber.

Which is an indictment to say the least.

Does Soler move the needle at at?

I don't see anything official yet either.

A lot hinges on what they do or don't do to address those holes. But I don't like where this seems to be trending.

attention whores do that.

I have definitely lowered my expectations and grown frustrated at past spending patterns returning. I haven’t lost all hope yet but I’m getting close. Sucks to be mentally preparing myself to not expect more than a division title as the season dawns.

Idle threats that never have a remote chance of follow through.
