It's not the Eloy has a mosquito bite, he's sitting out 26 games to recover across three different minor league facilities to find his favorite one and keep his rate stats high type injury. Moncada has had back issues before and this is not new, I am betting surgery is a possibility this off season

Moncada will insist on it because he knows this is the final year of his contract, the Sox won't be resigning him and he needs to make a good impression on a potential future team.

July 27, 20232 yr I noticed again last night at the game that when Moncada bats from the left side the opposing teams third baseman is basically playing shortstop. The whole third base line is unoccupied. All he would have to do is bunt the ball down the third base line and he could easily get to first base without a play. Then again, maybe he doesn't know how to bunt.

Grifol is horrible at in-game decisions and playing smart situational baseball. 3. The entire team probably can't bunt because Grifol and his coaching staff never made the players learn to bunt.
