Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

Boston had all the money available to bring Drew, Salty and Ellsbury back.. but Sox ownership is frigging cheap and bothered by the Adrian Gonzalez trade, considering the Dodgers won't bail them out again if they repeat the same mistakes of the 2011-2012 teams.

 

The main problem Boston is failing is due to the fact many of their players had career years last year at the same time, and several pitchers, such as Peavy, Buchholz and Doubront have seriously regressed. Playing multiple rookies in the lineup (Bradley Jr., Bogaerts, and Middlebrooks) has hurt, as Bradley looks awful at the plate, and Bogaerts has had defensive issues at SS. Failing to find a decent leadoff man has hurt as well, as their offense has dropped.

We really need the Rays to lose tomorrow. Cant give that team any confidence.

 

I was cheering for the Red Sox the whole 15 innings, can't believe they just gave away that game... Not even talking about that nice 5 run lead they had.

You have a very low number of thanks. I wonder why.

It's not that they are too cheap..... it's that the first year they ever take a stand on the big contract.... they win a WS.... That's enough to embolden anybody.

I know a team can't trade draft picks..... but.... can they essentially do so by trading a PTBNL.... who is the draft pick? For example. Could the Jays say to the cubs..... you tell us who to draft at 9 and 11 and a week later, we will do a trade for Shark for 2 PTBNL's?

The problem is that the draftees can't move teams for one year.

Yep. And the Cubs wouldn't want the Jays handling there prized top picks for an entire year. It's going to take a package of prospects that also include close to mlb ready talent (ie. Stroman, Sanchez, ect) to get Shark anyways,

On Red Sox fans? They've consistently been the whiniest, most entitled fans in teh league for a long time. This looks good on them.

What a pussy. Typical bandwagon doucher m*******.

 

 

At least he's not quitting on his team to go root for a division rival.

I found this funny since these 2 guys were drafted and have been handled by the Jays for more than 2 years...why the heck would they want them?

 

Just sayin'

It would be different.

 

Handling a guy (who the Cubs would pick) who you know 100% is going to be traded after a year as the PTBNL. Why would you even work on the kids swing or mechanics when you know he's being shipped off as soon as the rules allow.

As of last year, the Os fans have been gunning for this title...

Boston is, and always has been, very cognizant of the luxury tax threshold. I believe they've gone over it once, but they always try to stay under.

 

They have the 4th highest payroll in the majors. Last year, they started with the 4th highest payroll and ended with the 3rd highest payroll.

 

Suggesting they're "cheap" is obscenely dumb.

 

Ok, maybe they're not cheap.. but they haven't managed their resources well. That Peavy deal from last season is starting to hurt, as he struggles badly. Mujica was an awful deal, and they have yet to negotiate an extension for Lester, raising the risk a team like the Yankees will poach him in the offseason, just like Ellsbury.

 

Likely Boston will have to make some trades at the deadline to get help..

I came to the main board looking for a "Can Happ Stick" thread

 

He's sticking whether we want him to or not. Therefore I'm thrilled that he pitched that well.

Boston's bullpen is melting down again.. Breslow gave up a 3-run shot to Sean Rodriguez, and the Rays now lead 6-3. Could it be a 10-game losing streak for Boston?

He challenged the entire Red Sox bench to a fight and than when Gomez came at him he ran away like a little bitch. This tool doesn't belong in the game. Doesn't play hard, s***** attitude. I was so happy when he dumped his ass. True piece of s***. I don't care what value he provides. I wouldn't want a guy like that on my team.

 

Really? Wow he really is a clown.
