Stone just said he's never seen a connection/bond/relationship like the McCann/Giolito one in all his years in baseball.

I keep thinking McCann will be gone then comments like this make me think Sox and James will work something out somehow

Man, what a problem the Sox have. How do you not bring back McCann after something like this? They really are in sync out there. Congrats to Gio. Fucking awesome game.

I don't think McCann would have any interest in coming back; he has one chance to get paid and start somewhere to finish off his career. He's earned it. 

Plenty of great pitchers have had personal catchers, but their personal catchers weren't all-star caliber player. McCann has made himself a lot of money, and the Sox can't sink that much into catchers imo.

Pretty strong words from a former Cy Young winner with a half decade in baseball.

I screamed “Oh Nooo!” Off the bat. Seemed like a typical oppo single

Tough to say.  We don't know how much he loves the city and team and how much importance that has on him and his family.  It also takes two to tango.  But seriously, If I'm the Sox, I extend him.  You do a 60/40 split and have each catcher DH on their non catching days.  You send EE to the moon.  If Gio keeps putting up games like his last two and McCann is catching him, you just simply don't fuck that up.

Edwin isn’t the problem, Vaughn is the problem.

Grandal is also going to likely need more spells as he ages.

Not likely he sticks around but we shall see.

A real log jam for sure with DH and 1B.

Can Vaughn play right field?!

I just wanna say even with all the dumb hot takes and nay saying i love all you guys.

 

Congrats to Lucas and also congrats to McCann

 

This is going to be a very fun decade, let's all strap it down and enjoy

Yeah, and why would McCann want to sign somewhere to be a back-up? He was already pissed the Sox signed Grandal and that he wasn't starting; he's just been a pro about it. He doesn't want to stay here and catch 1 out of every 5 days I'd guess.

Not that it should matter but this team is really making a name for itself. They have foisted themselves upon the national stage.

Yeah, I don’t see him coming back for a lot of reasons, with him wanting to be a starter being a big one and something we really can’t offer.

I’m sure he can be Mazara level equivalent out there ?

Yep, totally agree Ray.  I'd love to have McCann back but someone is gonna pay him to be their starting catcher.  Actually he'll have multiple offers to choose from I'm sure.

Bingo.

gotta leave my mark in this legendary thread

Abreu made 3 plays that Vaughn in all likelihood couldn't make. Vaughn too short and lacks Abreu's flexibility and reach.

Mazara probably would not have made the play Engel did for the 27th out.

Could Collins have done this ?  Uh, no just no.

Great D by Timmy on several plays.

This feels like a regular baseball season now.

And heck, I'm happy for the guy. Really gotten to like McCann as a player and teammate in his time here. Ill hate to see him go but excited for him to get paid and rewarded for all his hard work.

Sign McCann and kiss Collins ass goodbye
