Agreed 100%.

ESPN for you. I'm just shocked any Sox player is on there.

Why not just go with Anderson in the leadoff spot without Garcia. Also, grab Mendick an OF glove.

As someone who still plays and catches in the leagues I play in, it's annoying when I catch a ball a little awkwardly thinking a breaking ball is going to break more only for the ump to tell me I cost the pitcher a strike. If you're seeing that it is perfectly over the plate, why does matter how I catch it? Just call it a strike.

Agreed 100%. Was just saying this to a couple of buddies the other day. I just miss watching competitive baseball from the beginning of the season until the end (well, they always used to fade in the 2000s it seemed). Only this time, let's sneak some more post-season appearances in there.

Nimmo is a good player. And with 3 years of control.

I would think Nimmo is more attainable.

Definitely in a spot where this series isn't meaningful and it doesn't matter if they don't play one or two of the games.

Pass.

A-fucking-men. I felt the exact same way. Both of your reasons. Haven't gotten it since 2017 either and it feels good having the extra ~$130 in the pocket (by not buying 18 or 19). I will also be buying next year.

What are you willing to deal for Conforto?

From when you were talking about it previously, I was going to tell you to keep looking anyway just in case it fell through since it was so far away.

No chance.

Yeah I'm perfectly fine with him being a great hitter in the 2 or 3 spot. And I don't really want the bat taken out of his hand if guys get caught stealing with 2 outs.

Exactly. The lineup should be great. I don't want to take the bat out of anyone's hands plus risking possible injury hurting wrists and fingers sliding head first. Now depending on which speed guys are hitting 6, 7 in the lineup when you have a lesser hitter at the bottom (say McCann is in 9 spot and having a pre-2019 year for example), maybe you try steal.

I'm in the same boat. There's value in these guys' speed even if they aren't stealing.

Ah ok. This makes sense then that it could be him at the end of the trailer. Thanks.

Read yesterday that Hoyer is one of the favorites.

Yeah I would call a Zobrist move like a plan J or K. Basically, prices would have to be too high on trade candidates and we would have to miss out on Ozuna, Castellanos (don't like either of these first 2 as they aren't much in the OF, would take Castellanos as a DH/1B however), Calhoun, Puig, etc.

Just looked him up to see if he played anyone in Breaking Bad. I don't remember a character named Ed.

And I'm turning this off now lol

Makes it a little more interesting to watch. But dear God the end of the season can't get here soon enough (looking at Palka out in RF).

Knowing this front-office, they will play games and it will drag out rather than getting it done ASAP.

Agreed 100%. Won't cost prospects and just money. Won't get long-term being 32/33.

I don't know if I'm ready for them to deal prospects yet. But McNeil doesn't seem realistic. Neither does Conforto. But with a new GM last off-season and Nimmo out most of the year, maybe there could be a match here without giving up something significant.
