Maldonado drops more than Grandal.

He is complete toast

PH a guy with tight muscles coming off injury late in a game on a cold night might not be a good idea, but what do I know.

There were obviously no in house options and he had little money to spend.  Who was he supposed to bring in?  Who are these cheap great players with trade value? 

I would have liked them to sign Amed Rosario for cheap, as he’s only 28 and was good two years ago.

I have never seen a catcher drop so many. Ever.

If you already have the handicap of less money than any other owner will let you spend as a 1st time GM, shouldn't the signings you DO make, actually be someone that would be around longer than 3 weeks?

There is no doubt in my mind that when Getz met with Jerry last year after the firings, Jerry complained to him about the bad defense and Getz agreed to go away from the slugger/bad defense approach.

Schriffen should open up a bowling alley because he loves ball washing.

Who the hell would pay to see this live? 30% chance of getting shut out. PASS

Closer?  No need.  You have to have a lead to use a closer.

They didn’t need both DeJong and Lopez. One for the bench? Sure.

I was all about this one as well.  Not a surprise that the Rays made better dumpster diving signings than the Sox.

Funny thing is the defense started ot fine now back to being in thr bottom 3  or 4 in baseball.

If that was the approach they fooled me.  This team hasn't slugged in years.  They play in one of the most hitter friendly parks in baseball and slap singles around the field.

Losing Moncada and Robert did that, and then some.

Pedro already flushed it.

Chris Stratton and Chris Flexen are the same guy.

They didn’t need either of these bums.  Both were going to be DFA candidates from the start of the regular season.  $6 million thrown into the fire pit.  ?

On the bright side, Nastrini is the first person to play on the Sox that has a chance to be on the next competitive team.
