Damn really? Last I saw he was going Thursday but I also thought they had a 6-man rotation as well (which seems to be correct).

Imagine if he had the starter from yesterday’s first name: Packy Junk.

Yeah they are apparently. I was looking forward to seeing Ohtani Rodon tomorrow afternoon live at the game but it says Lopez, even though Rodon would be on track if it was a 5-man rotation.

I agree. If he sucks next year then they will release him well before he has a chance of reaching the innings he needs.

Just checked Escobar’s numbers. Good pick up by the crew.

It's not an Ohtani situation so expected. Also announced around the time it was announced they had an agreement for next period.

They still get paid and service time going on the IL so I doubt a grievance is in anyone's mind at all.

I think they can decline the option, try to sign or trade for someone, and re-sign Cesar for less money later in the off-season if they can't replace him and want to bring him back.

It may not be a lot but he can still get more playing time somewhere else.

Depending on what what they spend replacing Kopech's spot in the pen (Kopech slides into rotation), the hole in RF, and hole at 2B, I think it may be Carlos Perez.

Keuchel vs Junk Let's keep this winning streak going!

With the way Cesar has swung the bat since being traded here, you almost think they would have been better off bringing back Yolmer.

Yeah I definitely meant to put it in the thread. My bad.

Knew I was forgetting something. Edit: although by now we all should know that a Tuesday, first game of a home series is a night game.

I’m actually aware of it haha but still think it’s weird. Might as well start a thread for everyone else we almost drafted.

I did see that on mlb.com too. I just went off of what ESPN said. I assume if he’s activated that would mean he would start.

Yeah a little confused reading that.

Giolito vs Naughton

Yeah whoever they go with as backup catcher on the roster should not get any at bats (unless Yaz gets injured of course).

That makes sense but why even send him down instead of Seby to begin with when Grandal came back?

Ah there’s an option too.

Don’t see how it’s not Romy.

Weird that they wouldn’t have just sent Zavala down originally when Grandal came back.

Sox are about to go to the playoffs back to back years for the first time in most of our lives. But let’s talk about the 2024 starting rotation.

Hey, a game 3 of a series lineup where it doesn’t look like we are punting the series.
