Just reading the tea leaves. We all know they need it. Whether they pony up is an entirely different story.

So we can hope for a Manaea trade and that's about it?

Does Sheets, Adolfo, a low level lotto ticket, and an arm prospect move the needle (drawing a blank on names)?

I can too. I don't know enough about McClure but I'd hate to give away Rodriguez for a potential 1 year rental.

This tweet? Because, Ew.

Manaea is a Lefty, yes? edit - He is. Give me the Lefty. I think he’d come cheaper in trade but I wouldn’t say no to either.

On par with putting a bandaid over a gaping hole in your leg and calling it better.

Yeah I didn’t catch your last sentence in there, but you addressed it. Keeping Robert healthy, he who is the most important piece to your OF defence, also means putting competent & capable defenders on either side. One clumsy oaf in left is acceptable when he mashes at the plate, but not running a lumbering slow footed 1B out to RF every day game as well. We really don’t need to see Billy Hamilton manning CF for half the year again do we?

When the corpse of Nomar Mazara is your baseline, you might want to set your sights slightly higher than a nebulous claim that they are “better.”

Doing everything they can to keep him healthy also includes not flanking him on both sides with atrocious defenders.

No

Geezus this place needs a Sox rumour

I don't get that sense from the clip.

Vaughn starting in RF every day is easier to stomach than the Sheets platoon being bandied about but it won't make not signing a real RF any less disappointing. I want no part of Sheets playing the OF.

And the realists are well aware that its a fluff piece.

It's not just you. But I don't think that's an uncommon thing for GMs to say.

His tone in the clip didn't give me any impression that they intended to send him back down. It was much more that despite those circumstances he proved he belonged in the bigs.

UH

The cash he's wasted since November gets him pretty close by itself. Too bad its tied up in a bunch of Meh.

Hahahah they don't care what their take bill is.
