Heyman: Sox interested in someone on some team. Nightengale: *nods*
Not sure how much weight he lost but he had a serious issue with balance if you look at that video. He has also had two serious Achilles heel injuries since then. I would like to see more current video(s) of Burger taking ground balls at second, pivoting, and throwing on to first for a double play. I have an open mind for players who have conditioned themselves and developed into major league level players and would be very happy if he did that.

I think that the Cuban players that are part of the core of this team should be kept intact unless and until there is an obvious need to trade one of them. I don't see a need to move Moncada. He is a great third basemen and still has a high ceiling offensively. There is a lot to be said for loyalty to these players including the recruitment of other Cuban players like Cespedes and Oscar Colas. Burger as an infielder? Fielding ground balls appears to be his Achilles heel.

Tonights Game Postponed
Based on predictions, I don't understand how this game was postponed. When the Sox really want to get a game in, they will make fans suffer through hours of soaking rain.

Trade an asset
Cali: Rodon has earned loyalty points with management so I don't think the WSox would be inclined to initiate trade discussions involving him. Having said that, almost any player could be on the trading block for the right return. Personally, I think Cease would be the first of the five that the Sox would consider trading... at this point. However, the Sox might be reticent to trade any starter while they are still in contention, especially if they have new doubts about Kopech's long-term durability. I know that trading a top 3 starter would be viewed as heresy, but personally, I would not bat an eye if the Sox trade Keuchel for the right player(s) and prospect(s). Since Dallas Keuchel stated that he still considers Houston Home, maybe a trade to Houston would make him happy and the Astros as well. They have plenty of trade capital. Tray of spaghetti.

Mariners @ Sox, 6/25, 7:10 PM CT
Haniger is 30 years old and is not that far removed from spine surgery and other physical maladies. We lost a ton of talent with injuries to Eloy, Robert, Madrigal ,and Kopech. Now Moncada and Abreu appear to be playing through injury. As a result, the Sox have a talent deficit that is too deep to fill mid-season, even with guys like Haniger and Escobar. This can't be solved with money alone, We just do not have enough prospect capital to make much of a splash with a trade.
