Not currently.

Abreu over Naylor and I guess catcher are the two infield advantages. Cleveland is better at all three OF positions (Robert has the potential better than Straw if he is every healthy, but certainly isn't now).

Sox have a slight rotation advantage but Cleveland definitely has a better bullpen.

Robert has the potential to better then Straw? Am I reading that correctly?

Vaughn swings at some of the worst 2 strike pitches 

Wonder if Howard Ankin bats left.

You think Jerry cares man? 

Yes I think Jerry cares a lot about the money coming in. Always.

What do you guys think happens next year? I think TLR becomes Special Advisor to the manager, KW retires, Hahn takes his place and Chris Getz is promoted to GM. And I bet they hire AJ Pierzynski as manager and he picks some little grindy dude like Nick Punto as his bench coach. 
 

That’s disgusting.

There will be one bit of accountability. Ownership will lose money. They think they’re entitled to their jobs, but they’re not entitled to ticket sales.

This may be where Jerry came up with the line "just be good enough to finish in second" https://chicagoreader.com/news-politics/sun-times-whiffs-on-sox-stadium-lease-young-and-old-black-and-white-bob-page-updated/

Here's the short story

"under this lease, there IS no economic pressure on the owners of the team to field a competitive team to sell tickets. If the team stinks, their revenue drops off–but their rent costs disappear altogether! No gain, no pain.”

Vaughn's probably gonna play ~100 games in the outfield again next year, too.

What the f*** is going the f*** on with Yoan. Get THE f*** OUT OF HERE

Fucking September and SOS

They will lose a lifelong fan if they pull that trigger, I fear they will.

With this payroll? I am genuinely skeptical.

How can they ever replace his 0-4

Moncada is awesome!!!! The head clown of them all.

Yeah, if Robert heals and at some point in his career is able to play 130 + games a season, he would be more valuable.

This August/September, Straw is more valuable because he is healthy. The past two seasons, they put up the same bWAR, because Straw once again is healthy and Robert is/was not.

2021-2022 bWAR: 5.7 Robert 5.5 Straw

Trading Vaughn would make you quit being a fan?

KW is in the dugout staring down the players and the coaches while Bob Nightengale is next to him smirking and taking down notes for his next tweet.
