The Sox could have just claimed him, no?

Edit: Nothing to see here. My bad.

Yeah it does become a bit of a crunch but I could also see Sheets going down since he can be option and keeping Goodwin, not that I really care if they decide to cut Goodwin. I think you're right about Lamb though and he can just be DFA'd/traded for cash considerations or something.

Hopefully after discussing with Sox management and a phone call from TLR, he decides to stick around. Ride it out for the next month and like 10 days and then figure out your next step from there whether it be retiring officially or going oversees, etc.

It's just a lower level priority than another reliever (arguably 2), a 2B, and a RF.

Abreu struggling in any way is how Ron gets off.

If I had to guess myself, I’d say Rays.

Ah yes, just what we need: another DH.

Even if part of it was hating the pay and way they travel in the minors, the season is over what, end of August/early September? With rosters expanding by 2 in September, he probably would have been called up as a “third catcher” and pinch hitter against lefties.

So assuming he 100% walks away but decides in the off-season he wants to try again, would he technically be controlled by the Sox? I assume the Sox would release him and let him to go to Japan or something.

We need a wellness check on @ron883.

Opens up a spot on the 40-man for Eloy.

He’s getting his timing back.

Yeah I think we would all pull the trigger on this.

Honestly if they think he can catch a little bit (get a bulk of the DH at bats next year if NL gets a DH), ship him there.

Simple solution: Move the deadline back a at least 2 weeks. Especially without a waiver deadline.

He’s having a good year so I honestly can’t see him accepting a bench role next year. Even a one year deal at least with a rebuilding team that could flip him mid-season.

Sure. Bring him aboard.

After watching Burger play 3B a couple times, idk how anyone would prefer Burger at 3B to the superior Moncada.

Trying to find my post from around the all-star break where I said I think he will find his home run stroke and finish between 20-25 for the season but there’s so many threads where people were bitching about Moncada that it seems impossible to find lol

What a bum

Send down Burger Sheets for Robert and Eloy. DFA Lamb? Lamb doesn’t even play his natural position this year so might as well.

I’m good getting a 2B and rolling with a combo of guys in RF. You already have Engel penciled in against the lefties and late inning defense sub for whoever plays against the righties.

Yeah I too think it will be after the upcoming trip to Milwaukee. By the time the Cubs series in Wrigley comes, that will be beyond 20 days anyway so he will have to be back then.

Brain cramp there but he did say tomorrow too.
