    Well I am so glad we hired the KC Royals ex-coach and we are dumpster diving in the Royals end of the pool for scraps.   The money will be spent.  I am ready for the parade.  

  • Except he hits left handed and actually fields his position exceptionally well.  

  • I’m actually moving this into the “good move, if costs nothing” camp. He is a wonderful fielder and would love to have more assurances there.

Because of course they are.  Shocked this isn't a Bob tweet to deflect from the dumpster fire...

The Sox want a shitty 2B. Where have I heard that before?

Rick:  You see the news boss?  What do we do now?

Jerry: Change the narrative, what do we have?

Rick:  Just leave that one to me!  [dials phone] Hey Ken, have I got a story for you!

For Lopez's sake I hope not....

Not a bad idea 

I’m actually moving this into the “good move, if costs nothing” camp.

He is a wonderful fielder and would love to have more assurances there.

My spidey senses tells me this is very possible.  Seems like this is what Nightengale was hinting at.

I'm fine with him as a UTL.  As a primary 2B, is poopoo

He’s not as good as Leury.

His bat is terrible, but at least his defense picks him up for some value.  He had the 13th best defensive WAR of any 2B with more than 500 innings at the position.  Somehow he was almost a 6 fWAR player in 2022.

3 of 4 seasons 58 or lower OPS +. 2021 an outlier. Doesn’t have a .600 OPS the other 3 seasons.

Really bad offensively but unlike Leury he is a truly great fielder and can play all three spots.

But yeah this is why I wanted schoop who at least had a prayer of being good offensively. 

Just go get Madrigal and end this second base bullshit

What was the Nightengale hint?  Must've missed it.  

Nicky Lopez is more like Nick Madrigal than Nick Madrigal

not sure if you've heard, but he's from naperville.

I’ll just disagree there

He hinted Royals have more trades lined up.

He doesn’t hit. I get the plus glove is really nice to have and if TA can cut down on the lack of concentration errors, the Sox could actually have a fairly elite infield defense, but he has to hit a little bit.

Yah, this isn't a move that would excite me.  I'd rather have Massey.
