You forgot to include the regular season starter put into relief Cease was good in that role last year

he'll be in low leverage, early middle inning roles or strategically used against certain hitters

Finished in 1 hour

Do we have any 7 inning games left? Those could be fun to attend. Don't get up to go to the bathroom

Did the Cubs eat any money?

A world series justifies every move made in its pursuit.

Yes, really.

I mean Hendriks one night and Kimbrel the next each going 2

Tony Larussa will be at the forefront of a trend of two inning saves

If the Sox choose, they could put Kimbrel on the market in the off season and receive an offer of similar value from multiple suitors

I think this also helps to clear up the playoff rotation. Start Keuchel and limit him to one time through the order. Follow him with Cease, Crochet, Tepera, Kopech, Kimbrell and Hendriks.

Yes, I believe we are done

I would like the Sox to keep Keuchel from getting to that 160 IP mark for his 2023 option

Pineda would be a good move on the cheap. I think we could use someone to take some starts over the next two months

I think a guy like Rich Hill would have been a great fit and he went for nothing

I'll predict that in a surprise move the Sox trade for an additional back end starter to move to a six man rotation over the last two months in the hopes to limit innings

anyone have any info on why Hernandez would be considered a utility player with 843 of his 910 games at 2B? Is he so good at 2b (as a GG might indicate) that they wouldn't play him elsewhere, even though he is capable of it?

an anti Daniel Burnham move I don't hate it but our probable playoff opponents all seemed to have made significant upgrades for the same small price

That they should try to avoid teams in the playoffs who can roll out three all star staring pitchers and they should try to obtain home field advantage

Frazier is an average player in a career year fueled by numbers that look anomalous. I wouldn't even be sure he will sustain the production in the final two months of THIS season, let alone being viable next year.

I think the teams looking to move players are shocked at the lack of return being offered. They will eventually adjust.

I only care about the return in comparison to Cease+ so that Bernstein can be further exposed.

Dan Bernstein said Joc Pederson is worth Dylan Cease+ so I can only imagine the return we can get for Eaton, who has a better WAR

I don't know but it's the Sox so I will say great
