Exactly. In this case, we've heard absolutely nothing. 

You were saying?

2020 never really ended, did it?

This is insane.  Never seen a team with such bad luck with serious muscle injuries.

Fuck

season ender?

Time to make some trades Rick.

Absolutely brutal. The pitching has stayed intact (For now, please knock on wood) but I don't know if these guys can survive another position player going down.

The funny part is it is a guy who was suspended.  Might need to revisit that status.

Yep the offense needs legitimate reinforcements immediately.  No waiting around for others to return, as there’s no telling when the pitching might fade.

@ptatc please give us good news!

Not yet. See how the next three weeks go. I don't the Sox going into a dramatic tailspin. You wait it out, see how guys perform. 

They still need to "go for it" this year but they also have to balance the lack of depth in the farm. 

Additionally, you have your entire lineup set for 2021, so the piece in theory should be a rental. 

I'm sure they get aggressive, and I agree a move needs to be made...but I wouldn't panic yet. 

3 starters done for the year. 2021: the gift that keeps on giving!

Seriously, we need a new strength and conditioning coach.

 

RIP 2021

Long term implications and are these injuries possible a result of bad strength training techniques they’re receiving?

Adam Frazier, Ketel Marte or bust. Seriously. fuck, if this team makes the playoffs they are destined to win it all at this point. this is why going all in matters. no guarantee's going forward with anyone.

Just puts us in such a weird spot now too.  I like being as aggressive as anyone but I'm not sure what the hell we can add without taking away from the Major League roster.

RF is still open for next year, and I’m sure I will get blasted for this but Madrigal is too injury prone to just be given a spot going forward.
