I’m also a fan of Pillar. He’s the perfect platoon partner for Mazara. .823 OPS against lefties last year and is as good of a defender as Engel, if not better. He can also pinch run and come in defensively late in games. Sign me up.

I will never understand the allure that random people have of being an “insider”

Isn’t Collins’ playing time the only thing that changes with an EE signing? If anything, EE keeps the DH spot warm for a year until Vaughn is ready. I don’t really think this move would change that much in terms of the lineup.

and Cubans!

I didn’t even think about that, but you’re right. Eloy posted a picture with Edwin on Instagram awhile back so they must be friends.

No, it really doesn’t. Encarnacion is a fantastic addition at the DH spot for a year.

Who do you think they’ll get? Souza? Pence? Maybe the bench will be McCann, Collins, Leury, and whoever the Sox get to platoon with Mazara.

I guess I’d be ok with Will Harris or Daniel Hudson.

Betances to the Mets. That kinda sucks, I was hoping he would come to the Sox.

He tweets phrases like that almost every day. Don’t think it means anything.

Kole Calhoun to the Diamondbacks.

Blake Snell

How could the Cubs even afford Castellanos?

I could be wrong, but I don’t think Castellanos was even that bad defensively in Wrigley. GRF is not like Comerica. I think the concerns over Castellanos’ defense are slightly overblown.

Maybe the plan is: 2020: have Mazara play RF with Castellanos at DH. If Mazara does well, they’ll tender him and then trade him, allowing Castellanos to move back to RF for 2021 2021: Castellanos in RF, Abreu at DH, Vaughn at 1B

Makes sense. Get Castellanos, sell high on McCann, and allow Collins to be the backup catcher.

Do you think the Sox are discussing something similar with Moncada in regards to an extension?

I hope the Sox have discussed an extension with Moncada as well. Even getting just one more year of control out of him would be huge.

Oh brother. Not this guy again

There’s no way the Sox trade for Price at this point, right?

The Twins are so fucked.

He should stop trying to be an insider though because he’s literally awful at it.

Do we even believe anything WSD says at this point?

Honestly, I’d rather trade McCann than Collins.
