afraid not. doubt very much he's dumb at all. he's a kid and shit happens. per your previous post you say he's nothing. well ... time will tell, but i think his potential is great. let's review in a couple years. frankly, i think you're still stuck in your "the sale trade was a terrible deal".
Could not agree more. As I previously mentioned I wasn't on this board at the time of the trade or the first couple of years afterward, but here it is more than four years later and the Jidmeister is still ranting about it. I can only imagine what it was like in here back when it took place and those immediate months following. Let it go Jiddy.
But, I didn't sign up for the class: "Let Jiddy do your thinking for you."

Lots of people for looking forward to Kopech finally getting an opportunity to take a rotation spot - "missing" that is a tangible thing (stuff you should like).
Tell Giolito that a smoking fastball isn't enough - that's pretty much all he throws (with about 20% sliders and an occassional change up).
Otherwise - please continue with the party that never ends in your head.

No, this is a direct argument that you are a random genius and your latest take was another off moment.
I trust you were looking in the mirror when you typed that.
Good, because neither am I. I just find it sad that four+ years after the trade, you're still mega-upset over it. Some trades work out, some don't. I definitely consider the Sale trade as a short term gain for the Red Sox, but hopefully a long term gain for the Good Guys. And if I was betting money on that, I'd place some large on long term advantage: White Sox.
Ain't even mad...

As @Jiddy will tell you - in English Literature the subtle jab lands with thunderous effect.When articles can be a bit misleading:
Tim Anderson Takes Subtle Jab At The Minnesota Twins
Tim Anderson is not shy about speaking his mind. On Wednesday he took a subtle jab at the Minnesota Twins on Twitter.
I had to read this story several times because I thought I must have kept missing where Anderson jabs the Twins over their signing of J.A. Happ. Apparently, TA adding a "like" to the tweet about Happ's signing with the Twins constitutes as a jab. Yes, the Sox and Anderson have had tons of good fortune against lefties, and Anderson directly has had some tremendous ABs off Happ, but I really wouldn't call that a jab. Hey, who wouldn't look forward to facing a pitcher in which you presently have a .563 BA/1.625 OBP against him. But it's not like he said anything directly.

So the Sox wouldn't be one of these teams?
Why these three teams are well-positioned to give Trevor Bauer an enormous one-year deal
If Bauer were to sign a one-year contract, here are three potential landing spots
As you guys know, I've long written off any chance of the Sox signing Bauer, and I continue to do so, but it has always been based on the assumption that he wants a multi-year contract. I stated from the getgo that if Bauer was ever open to a short one year or perhaps 1+1 type of deal, we could and should be all in on making him a Good Guy. I suspect Bauer would love pitching for our team. He knows we have some real talent and some real characters to boot, which I believe plays to his liking.
I still think when it's all said and done, Bauer will sign a long term contract (4-6 years) and to me, my bet is on the Angels being that team, with perhaps the Dodgers as the sleeper pick here. But if indeed Bauer is open to a much shorter deal, and there are zero updates out there suggesting he is, but if so, I will gladly hop on the Jiddy train and scream out, "All Aboard!!!"
Could not agree more and as I mentioned in the previous post, Bauer would fit in perfectly with this current cast. But unfortunately, I don't see how he'd pass up a multi-year deal. Think about it, he signs for just one year and possibly has a bad season or at least an off season by his standards. He'd be a year older and not coming off a Cy Young performance. You can see how his leverage for a bigger, better deal would be greatly reduced. 2021 is his golden opportunity to strike it big. I just find it hard to believe he wouldn't take advantage of that. But for whatever reasons, if he does opt to sign a single season or 1+1.............."ALL ABOARD!!!!"
