Sosa at 3B is kinda interesting. Wonder if they are trying to showcase him to other teams.

Even if his velo is the same, I think he will be better than a lot of people believe. Not being a hard thrower gives him less margin for error, but he can still develop into a quality pitcher.

Well he’s also like 78 years old. Hawk did the same thing towards the end.

I think Robert would have benefited a lot in this new look lineup and not having to be “the guy” anymore. But we’ll never know.

One of the main reasons I didn’t want to trade Robert. They don’t really have a middle of order right handed bat at the moment. Oh well.

This Will Gasparino kid from UCLA is having a monster start. Is he a legit draft prospect? Plays outfield which the Sox obviously need.

Would be nice. Not sure why they didn’t protect him in the first place.

Hope he stubs his toe getting into bed.

Yeah, nobody is taking Benintendi’s contract. It’s whatever at this point. They might as well keep him for this season. If he has another dud year, hopefully they cut the cord early in 2027.

What did they say about the Sox?

Watching him pitch, you can tell he has potential. But he also has way too many uncompetitive pitches. I just don’t think they will have room to roster him. If this was last year or the year before, he probably makes the team.

Alberto is going back to the Rays, I fear.

I’d prioritize Baldwin over Kelenic, but that’s just me.

Doesn’t seem like Benintendi will be in the outfield all that much. In that case, there should be consistent at-bats for Baldwin in one of the corners. Let him play one position consistently and hopefully he’ll improve defensively.

Baldwin getting sent down would tick me off. He has already proved everything there is to prove in AAA. He needs regular at-bats at the MLB level.

Agreed. Hopefully Kay pitches well enough to get traded for something and then one of the prospects takes his spot.

Burke and Fedde better pitch well because there are a lot of guys coming for their spots.

McDougal looked fantastic today.

Why they still have Joe Ryan, I have no idea. I’m all in favor of them letting him continue to rot there though.

Twins are reaching Sox levels of incompetence. They should have traded Lopez a long time ago.

Well Jerry would be out of the picture by the time Murakami’s contract is over if they extend him. And honestly, even if Murakami is good but not great, all the Japanese attention and sponsorships will pay for that contract in no time. I’m just tired of the perpetual rebuild mentality where they ship out anyone worth a damn. Time to start building a winning team.

The clock on Jerry is ticking, and even if you assume he’s immortal, this team has ZERO guaranteed contracts on the books after 2027. They could give Murakami whatever AAV he’s looking for and their payroll would still be nothing. There is no excuse to not keep him if he’s as advertised.

Or you can open the checkbook to keep good players on your team for years to come. That’s an idea too.

This kid is unreal.

ReyLo was never on the Red Sox. But still, being teammates on 5 different teams would be crazy.
