Of course for the Getz Sox that would be trade deadline career. No shortage of stupid in baseball when it comes to habitual losing small market teams. If baseball had stupid rankings instead of power rankings the Sox would be juggernauts. And they just keep doing it. I think a lot of it has to do with LaRussa. He loved to play guys where they didn't play. He once put Ron Kittle in CF.
May 23, 2025May 23 The best thing about this is someone got through to Reinsdorf. Maybe it means the young players will be unblocked. We don't have great young guys, but playing bums in front of tem is still a huge mistake. The Rojas signing was a big red flag.

May 23, 2025May 23 Org is a clown show. Sent Vaughn down way way way later than they should've, and sent Elko down immediately because "we know what he is after 10 games" Team is gonna lose over 110 games this year. Who's your long term 1B option? Sosa? Palacios?

Who's your long term 1B option? Sosa? Palacios? IMO this is a good solution for now. Vargas has proven he's more than solid at 3B. He's not just going to lose that playing a couple times a week at 3B and it protects his body a bit. Elko probably is JAG, replacement level, he can go rake back in AAA. The key is just getting that black hole and aura vampire Vaughn away from the team.
May 23, 2025May 23 Ramos is currently at 202/660...nowhere near a logical promotion. Edited May 23, 2025May 23 by caulfield12

May 23, 2025May 23 Also, thank fucking god Vaughn’s ass has been demoted. Two years too late, but hopefully I never have to see him again in a Sox uniform (if I’m ever able to watch a Sox game again this year).

But Vargas playing 1st frees up....Colson?
May 23, 2025May 23 seems likely that Teel is coming up soon and the three catchers can all play first base. in addition to Sosa or Vargas or frankly anybody. first base is easy.

May 23, 2025May 23 They should have released Vaughn. Sending him down is silly, stupid, dumb. Nice to see them messing with Elko's head already (sarcasm). Another sad day in franchise history.
