Gosh, this sounds bad.

From a 100 win pace to a 59 win pace?

ESPN must be Sox fans to spin it like this.

I am always amazed by your ability to swing so fast from rage filled, shit posting to condescending banter like it doesn't bother you personally.
As if you don't do it yourself. But thanks Dr Phil! Got any medication you want to put me on? Like whatever you've been smoking? And no, none of it bothers me personally in the least. :)

What I find absolutely hilarious if the reports are true and they are picking up steam. The SUX want something similar to what the Padres got for Juan Soto.
Getz is legit smoking crack if he thinks thats going to happen

I'd say that type of return for Luis Robert is not going to happen, simply based on his inability to stay on the field, not his talent.

However, that type of return for Crochet who is making 800k this season and is arbitration eligible the next two is absolutely on point.

And they will get it of they trade Crochet.

My personal opinion is you hold Robert and Crochet and build around them...but if you get deals you can't refuse...then you make them.

Seeing as a major piece of the Soto trade pitched for the sox on Tuesday, he’s not that crazy. If he can’t get a kings ransom then keep him. He’s not at the level of Soto but last year’s derby cemented him as a star and he’s under control for 4 more seasons.

So speaking of Soto, do you think he stays in NY as a Yankee, if so do you think he tests free agency?
Boars is his agent, so I'm thinking he tests free agency but the Yankees will ultimately give him $600m +

Remember when you told us Giolito was going to win the Cy Young after he started like 11-1? Then the Cubs smoked his ass twice in a few weeks and he wasnt the same after that?

Which is why I am so torn on trading Crochet. I thought he could be a pretty good starter and so far has been. But is he a flash in the pan like Giolito and Lopez? I like the idea of selling high but would hate to trade a controllable, young anchor to the staff. With Shultz coming next year, Fedde signed through 25 and Thorpe up now he is extreme valuable to the sox.
