I'm with you. Not really into going to concerts. I've been to 4...good enough for me. I get asked to go a lot to country concerts and I always consider going for the women. But the people who invite me want to do 3-day passes (Lake Shake I think?) and I just can't commit haha

Well you may not consider them as part of the future, but Rodon potentially may be in the rotation for our first at least one or two competitive years. Anderson has 4 more guaranteed years in his contract. How is that not part of the future?

Yeah that's likely what the post was referring to.

Exactly. They play a series at the end of the season in Minny. Can just make a day a double header. Easy to do with the expanded rosters.

I would say it is more likely that Covey goes to the pen.

You know what, I don't think Beckham did. And didn't Anderson hit better when he switched to glasses last year?

Players suspended for that length of time have always been allowed to rehab for about 2 weeks before. Cano just did it.

At this point, good.

Swarzak for Cordell. Jennings was dealt to Tampa. And the Soria deal last month as mentioned.

Where was the catcher set up?

Thank you times a million. You can't possibly frame a pitch that is on the other side of the plate from where you are set up on.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/08/trevor-rosenthal-showcase-mlb-october-cardinals-closer.html Would definitely be worth a look. If somehow things go right next year, then he could be a nice addition in the bullpen. If it's another year like this year, then you could trade him in June/July. He turns 29 in May.

What does this have to do with yesterday's Sox game?

I think Eloy mashing minor league pitching and Rick Hahn saying "he needs to check off more boxes" (or whatever it was) is a pretty good indication he isn't coming up.

Could see that. Or since they already have a 3-man bench anyway, a reliever could go down.

I don't know. Outside of injuries, Pollock has been a pretty good player. I would think he could do better than a 1-2 year deals (saw people suggest one in a thread before).

Looking at this year's free agents, I thought maybe Adam Jones could fill this need but looking at his career stats, he's never really been an on-base guy though he has hit leadoff in the past and has good numbers out of that spot (average and power anyway). Shouldn't command much at 33-years old though.

He wasn't suggesting that it would. He was replying to the original comment of the garbage rotation below: Carson Fulmer Hector Santiago Dylan Covey Chris Volstad Tyler Danish

Time to try him in the pen. Dude has some good movement on his pitches. Let's see if he can harness it for an inning at a time.

Yeah those always usually never get agreed to. I could see a 34-year old Soria potentially agreeing to his end.

Well he does have that option on him, though I would think $9m would be too much for an older RP for a small market team.

Ah yes, the classic "I was hurt" excuse. Would not have heard about that had they won the game.

Maybe on the last day of the month the day before rosters expand.

Putting myself in another fan's shoes, fuck no.
