Sucks but glad it happened this way rather than “he made a start on Saturday, was terrible, and now is going to miss time on the MLB IL with a shoulder impingement and accumulate service time after we started his clock and dfa'd someone else”

But he’s not getting service time now so there should be a point where he doesn’t get credit for a full season this year and his free agency delays a year. They have to have a certain amount of service time accumulated to hit free agency (unless released/non-tendered of course)

Agreed

Random thought: how long does Shane Smith have to stay down to get the extra year of control service time wise? May not even matter if he never regains his form but I am curious.

They usually win despite him being owner. Rocking a solid $100M payroll (according to Spotrac). "Great support from ownership" LOL Hilarious.

That is a fun one

I read that as knuckleball at first and got excited ha

It’s fun to talk about, but how many top prospect for top prospect 1 for 1 deals where both guys have no service time have ever happened?

They wouldn't get the comp pick. You have to be on the same team in the majors for the full season prior to free agency.

Baldwin is out for the year so Grichuk is here to stay.

Yeah I'm not writing his name in in permanent marker. Just saying that if he continues hitting the rest of this year (he's cooled) and next, if we need a long term answer, that he can be an option. As of right now, he's the obvious guy to go down to Charlotte when Mune comes back.

Idk I was just throwing out a hypothetical. It's not that deep.

Jesus dude. Do you know what "might" means?

I thought the same about Ray as a salary dump guy but man, he’s been wild and walking a lot of guys lately it seems.

Yeah good deal for Sox. Head scratcher for the Giants. Heck, they should be able to get a couple top prospects for Webb. Not have to also include a pitching prospect just to get one.

Yeah as of how things stand now, he might be the long-term answer at 1B

I think he’s far more likely to go than anyone but probably not for a rental. Maybe he’ll be in talks for a guy like Detmers who has a couple seasons of control?

6/22 start of the home stand and would be cool. Might need a few more games than that though

Agree. No reason to move Colson off of SS.

Oh f*** yeah!!!

“A bunt you say?” -Will

We’re back

Mets were a sucker for sure. And then we had people here posting that the Mets ripped the Sox off.

If I was at the game and knew they were losing this one, I would absolutely root for it to happen. It’s one loss.

It goes beyond that. I think the league just doesn’t like him. And I don’t believe that second sentence is true anymore.
