Thanks Jimmy.  Any word on Adams or Thompson?

I've got nothing on either. WE confirmed Zavala at FS. I think Cease is a lock obviously and probably Medeiros too. We'll see

  • Prepare to be shocked then....

  • "Probably"? I think you mean definitely.   But no, I think leaving two spots open means we want room for a FA, but not one of those two (necessarily).

    Lol...I was 100% kidding.  I think they simply thought now was the best time to sneak Clarkin down.

We have feelers out to all the prime suspects. FS will report as we hear from them (and are allowed to report it).

 

Spencer Adams is such a disappointment. Yet another high draft pick that amounted to nothing.

He's still just 22 years old...but yah, didn't exactly turn into what we all had hoped.

Doesn't that put us at 39?? Unless Merkin knows something we dont..

40 man was certainly at 35 this morning.  So adding 4 puts us at 39, not 38.

Either a typo from Merk, or someone got DFA'd or outrighted.

CSN and a few others are also saying 38 so there must be something else. 

Ryan LaMarre is now on the Braves. That's why the number changed

He is not on the 40 man and it stands at 35 on the site.

Surprised at Stephens and not sure why he wasn't up in September if they viewed him as a piece going forward.

Because he was terrible in August and clearly fatigued.

Yes.  Either not including Banuelos my mistake, or someone has been removed but not announced yet.

Sounds like a promising addition.

May as well add him.  Can always remove him later and nothing is lost.  Could also trade him or include him a bigger trade if the Sox think he has some value to other clubs. I don't find the move surprising at all.  

Apparently the Twins aren't putting Tyler Jay on the 40 man...he might be an interesting acquisition. Left handed and was a very high draft pick a few years ago.

He was the one a lot of people wanted the year we drafted Carson, and were mad that he was gone.

Lemont, IL native as well.

He is a thoracic Outlet Syndrome guy. Isn’t that pretty much of a won’t do anything but suck sentence?

I agree, I’m still pretty high on Stephens and would have been surprised if he wasn’t protected.  I do think his future is probably in the bullpen due to a lack of durability.  As long as the velocity picks up a couple ticks that should work fine.

Sox already have so many borderline relievers on their 40 man. I'm done with adding more.

Please, do tell....?

If I had to guess, I’d assume Clarkin or Tilson is coming off, with Ian being the more likely of the two.

And he is behind at least 10 people for that slot as well, probably more as other guys move through the system.

Clearly someone is coming off, and Merkin accidentally let that slip.
