greg775 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 What a stinker. I'm not a fan of playing this Ortega guy. I'm a little surprised we've laid down and died for a lousy Rays team that we mauled in Chicago. Don't know if any of you saw Ozzie's little rant about how he's a Sox fan and after game one he was really depressed/ticked off. He agreed with his partner on the show there was no accountability.

ChiSox59 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I feel like we have be near the end of the road with Soroka. He’s been terrible and it doesn’t appear he’s close. His stuff won’t play in the pen. It was a worthwhile gamble, but you’re just not going to be able to turn him into a meaningful trade asset at this point. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a mouthpiece for the Sox and just posted that to draw interest on JR's orders no doubt. C'mon Fathom, you really believe there were teams interested in Bummer and were willing to give the Sox something of value in return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe stick him in pen as a long-reliever and if he ends up being good, use him in higher leverages. But yeah, he's been bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's paid like one too. The Sox did fine in this trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean at the time of the trade or currently and in hindsight? The Sox got back a bad 2B, a bad utility infielder, and two bad starters that together make more money than the Bummer this season ($8.8 million to Bummer’s $5.5 million). Bummer’s contract: 24:$5.5M, 25:$7.25M club option ($1.25M buyout) 26:$7.5M club option ($1.25M buyout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) I thought Soroka was going to have a comeback year and the Sox extend his contract. It sure hasn't played out that way. 😔 Edited May 8 by Falstaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
