Is Ciuffo another catcher who's good at framing but also struggles to regularly catch the ball?

All I know is I hope we never see him in the majors

They should have been targeting teams with 40 man roster crunches to add another pitcher or 2 with options left. Wouldn't have taken much.

I’m sure they will be all over it the next few days as guys get cut. And same for end of April.

What a slop fest.

It's not an inspiring group, but Foster, Burr, Ruiz, and Crick as depth guys isn't the end of the world

Burr was solid for us down the stretch last year.  I think him and Crick can eat up some low leverage innings at minimum.

Haha, of course he homers

madrigal bomb, love to see it

I mean, they should be trading Adolfo to a rebuilding club for a semi-interesting reliever with a single option left.  Any way to add reinforcements in AAA would be helpful.

I know the Sox leverage has since gone down, but I would think Adolfo's value is higher now than it was during the winter. Any team scouting would have a positive write-up, I'd think

Sousa should be sent down just for that.

Well, lordy.

Nick Madrigal is an objectively very good hitter

Gonna miss watching that kid hit. 

What a shit fest. 

WTF kind of something is going on in this inning. Holy Hell guys, get it together.

Still makes no sense to me that Mendick is going to make the team

They want Romy playing every day is all I can think of

Let’s hope…would be nice to extract some value as Adolfo still has a chance to be a good player.

Just goes to show how barren the farm system is...or they just don't trust Romy yet.

Doing this before it's actually necessary is part of why teams that are consistently successful always have enough depth.

It hurts.

 

Sousa against righties is not going to go well.  That slider is dipping right into their wheelhouse.

I don’t think he’ll be anything more than the 28th man / extra IF insurance for in game injuries. 

Four righties faced, four hard hit balls. This guy isn’t a major leaguer.

So much for Sousa taking Crochet's spot in the bullpen.
