I could be very wrong, but if there’s a lockout, wouldn’t the contracts just be pushed back a year? For example, Mune would be with the Sox in 2028 if 2027 is canned.

I don't know about that. If they play a partial season, I believe in the past, they've pro-rated service time to a full season.

I can see it now Jason. Ishbia will open the checkbook and the Sox will be annual contenders. It will usher in a new wave of diehard Sox fans. There's going to so many Sox fans coming to SoxTalk that you're going to get rich off the ad revenue.

I am dreaming of Skubal to the Sox for 5yr 250 under the new CBA! Will be like the post lockout Albert Belle 5yr 55M move (but will work way better!)

I think back in 94 no one got paid but a deal came off the contract…meaning Mune would be a free agent

It depends on what the new CBA says. But I'd imagine that the most likely outcome is that the can gets kicked down the road for one year.

Hopefully there is a salary floor and Jerry is forced to hit it. Thank would make me even more hopeful about getting Skubal.

I'm not totally confident about this, but I think you don't pay anyone but the contracts would advance by a year. Not sure though and would probably be subject to negotiation. I'm not even sure how the sides would look at it...teams might prefer to just advance everyone a year so they don't get stuck owing the players money at older ages.

What’s the word on Colson? Something happen to him??

No why?

Nah, he's just a slow runner

Crap - I made a royal error in lifing. Got tickets for the opening of Spider-Man for hi8is jr and it starts an hour after first pitch.

s%*#! 😆

Ok good - On the post game

I could have sworn I heard someone say “we might have an update about Colson.”

f*** yeah. Call Boston Smith up too. Can he be worse that what we currently have?

Benintendi has quietly earned his money this year. Key hits in several games.

Sandlin hasn't pitched since the 21st. Wonder if anything is going on with him. Any chance they call him up tomorrow to have available since they burned through the pen tonight? Then let him replace Schultz perhaps.

I thought he had been scratched because he was going to replace or piggyback Noah. Now I wonder if it's something bad.

Stated Monday and will again they just aren't ready to compete at a high level and it starts with Venable. Hicks or Newcomb are much better options than Hudson who hasn't been good and was just lit up two days ago. He does not seem to have a feel for the game in real time.

I’m so tired of this type of horseshit.

Davis has this on his mind as he takes the mound:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”

⬆️ Davis wrote that bible verse on the mound before his start tonight. Not the way he drew it up but wow. What a flipping game.

Biggest win of the year. Venable got bailed out by Quero of all people. Taking Sam out of the game was brutal, and we won ugly regardless.

The only time I’ll condone talking smack toward will is when he takes Sam out of the game.

Thats what I thought initially when the Teel injury happened but everyone said Smith’s defense is a major work in progress.

You just know Schlittler took a lot of grief as a kid then he started throwing a baseball and everyone was his friend.

That might be the story of the crying kid

He didn't even call pitches in college. He's really green. And when I saw him talking about his thought process at the plate, it made me think he's barely ever thought about pitch sequencing and stuff. Not much more advanced than "sometimes pitchers throw pitches outside the zone and I realized they did it on purpose trying to make me swing"
