Respectfully, no

You don't win the Postseason with 3 pitchers. It's going to take a lot more & at this point we can't go blow for blow with the top, top tier teams. Maybe we can win the AL Pennant, but this wasn't the WS year anyways. I know we'd like to think so, but it's not. You've got a buncha rookies who havne't played whole seasons let alone 200+ games including ST, regular season and postseason.

TBF he had it earlier than anyone and then deleted it saying he will wait for confirmation. Fathom caught it before it was deleted. I’m so sick to my damn stomach.

Both are devesting, but is it better if Eloy has a torn pec or a torn labrum?

In my completely uneducated knowledge of this, I'd guess Pec.  Shoulder injuries for baseball players are never good. Even on a  non-throwing arm.

Just get Gallo already. Isn't he under contract for 2 years?

Solves the power void issue and is a LH bat and a corner OF. Good bridge to Colas 

Eloy can play DH next year if he still has his power. 

Jose/Vaughn at 1B/DH this year.

2022 Vaughn/Eloy if he is 100 percent health and power wise. 

Just get it done. Might need to part with a couple young pitchers. It sucks but it is what it is.

Now that is something I could get behind.

Rangers rebuilding, looking for young near MLB talent.

Gallo doesn't do much for them. 

I've wanted Gallo for a while and now is a perfect time. Just wonder what it would take. 

Gonna be electric when Eloy comes back for the playoffs and leads up to a title

if the Sox don't absolutely decide here and now that Eloy is a full time DH, trade his ass next year, he's a huge liability if he can't play every single day

I could see something like Tyler Johnson or Burdi and a prospect for Tauchman

Yep he’s our Schwarber, isn’t he

Maybe it won't be that bad. If you remember 2005, Buehrle supposedly broke his foot, and was going to miss a lot of time. He wound up starting on Opening Day.

Dan Bernstein says it sounds bad, too

Why would the Yankees help us?

No to play outfield

So sad. I’ve always joked around by nicknaming him The Glasshouse but boy was that spot on. ?

Josh Reddick is still available, he could be at least serviceable.  Th

And he knows about sounding bad!

 

ba dum tssssh

There is a Cuban still available, may sign for a cheap contract.

Of all the ways to get injured, this has to be one of the worst ways.

Because he's their 5th OF (after Judge, Hicks, Frazier, Gardner) and he's available.

From what people have said, for the long term, pec would be much preferable to the shoulder so there are no lingering issues sapping power. 

His calling card is power. If thats gonna be a long term issue, then what's he here for?

I've accepted hes done for the year.

I am praying no shoulder/labrum issues in addition to the pec.

Just keep it confined to the pec, let him come back next year and replace him with Gallo. 

Don't go cheap with Cespedes. NO!

If the Sox players thought Puig was a good fit, he would have been on them a long time ago.

Yep Yoenis and Puig need to be on speed dial. The only silver lining is that Eloy's only value is his bat. Maybe one of those two can soften the blow for a few months.
