The Collapse of the Boston Red Sox

[navamind]

Trading a solid pitcher in Brandon Workman for pretty much nothing, because he is due to get paid this offseason, is very Tampa like

he Sox are lacking in starting pitchers and there's at least some intrigue in Seabold and they get three years of Pivetta. Pivetta showed some promise in 2018 despite a high ERA (high K/9, good FIP/xFIP) but he failed to build on that and got moved to the bullpen. Pivetta's a project, but I'd rather bank on him improving than the majority of their current options. Eovaldi and Perez are the only replacement level pitchers right now, the rotation is a disaster. I'll miss Workman though, he was a damn good reliever last year. Crazy to think he was one of the last remaining connections to the 2013 team.

Actually it only took a few weeks for Judge and Stanton to get hurt.

I have 3 Workman jerseys

one with your face on the front
one with Navaminds face on the sleeve
one with Pure Steels face on the back down by my buttocks

One of life’s greater tragedies is a guy named Nick Pivetta doesn’t own a pizzeria in Bensonhurst

Better than looking up at the mighty O’s

I could see the Sox target a couple of Yankees this offseason

think Chad Green can price himself out of NY, Yankees have bigger fish to fry this offseason financially

and my greatest fear is DJ Lemehiue being put next to Xander and Devers

I don’t know what their approach will be this offseason, if they continue the teardown, but those are 2 that make sense if they do try to compete next season

Red Sox rumors: 20% chance Xander Bogaerts is traded, 25% J.D. Martinez is dealt, per Jon Heyman]

I really can't see a Bogaerts trade, especially right after the Betts fiasco.

Love JD but who is trading for a DH this season, who is unlikely to opt out of some big money

 

[Pure Steel]

That's what Pure Steel said.

I'll only go over there if BosoxBucky is there......Brilliant mind......

Jesus, ya think he’s alive?

 

[Pure Steel]

Jesus, ya think he’s alive?

It seemed he had one foot on a banana peel and the other in a coffin at times......

 

[Boglodyte]

advertising?

Maybe that wasn’t the right word to use. Was just wondering if he has a second site now in addition to this one

Agreed, he won't be easy to move.

[molsaniceman]

Agreed, he won't be easy to move.

As always it depends on what sox want Lots of teams could use a DH

Red Sox have now lost 4 in a row, putting them just 1 game ahead of the Pirates in the win-column for the number 1 pick. They highest they've ever picked is 3rd.

Only the Red Sox, Giants, Dodgers, Cardinals, Reds, Indians, Rockies, and Blue Jays have never had the top pick.

with a franchise altering caliber arm as the projected top pick.
