I'd rather be on the Giants than in Boston, IMHO.  Related to professional baseball and each team.

    I'd be willing to bet a shit-ton on this thread grew up watching Cubs & Braves at their grandparents' houses in the summers.

    dont bother him, he's about to pitch the ninth for the dodgers

Adames as he's doing the miked up interview, fields a ball at short and makes the put out at first.

"I'm not gonna lie  That's...um...hard."

I like the discussion, as they are asking him when the team found out about the Devers trade- 15 min before the game, but that'd be hard as hell to conduct an interview while you're really concentrating on work.

Adames is awesome. But I will forever hate in-game interviews.

Boy, the Red Sox' usual badmouth-the-dude-on-the-way-out-of-town will be spectacular on this one.  

I'll bet that Shaughnessy has the biggest boner he's had since Nomar left.

and well deserved. 

It seemed like a dumb contract when signed so I can't say I'm surprised they'd want to dump it.  Plus the Giants just put an ex-player in charge because the analytical poindexter types wouldn't give out big contracts, so there you go.

Feels kind of like the reverse Pablo Sandoval.

so the red sox are just throwing this season away ?

Would it matter either way?

Wow.  Didn’t think there was any way he was gonna pitch before the AS break

 

Sounds like they’re pitching a bullpen game, and he will be the opener.  Probably will only pitch an inning, 2 tops.

wtf ...

The Red Sox did not shop Rafael Devers around the league before trading him, per @Buster_ESPN.

SIAP.

how does a starter get 15 Ks and his team loses 10-1 to a 14-57 team?

I had to look at that 3 times to make sure I saw that right 

 

that's a Tim Kirkjian special if I’ve ever seen one

Holmes struck out 15 while  allowing 3 runs in 6.1 innings, 2 of them earned.  The bullpen then allowed 7.

They were never going to pay all three.  They just chose the wrong one.

Trade Deadline is 6 weeks away and they took the first bullshit offer they got.  

This is the equivalent of bidding out a painting job, and the first guy doesn't really want to do it, so he qoutes you 100K for two rooms, and you go "DEAL, WHEN CAN YOU START?!"

 

That’s how bad they wanted to be rid of him. Took the first offer that took his bullshit off their books with him.

Can’t say that I blame them, either.

Uh sure, who wants a guy with OBP > .400 and SLG > .500 anyways?

it says a lot about the org too. signing a 3B was dumb, then not talking/working with devers

I see y’alls point. But this just reeks of them being sick of his me-first attitude and not being willing to other positions, etc.

He’s obviously pissed in their cheerios pretty damn good so far.

Can’t say they aren’t cutting their nose to spite their face a bit, but to me it seems they were well past ready to be done with his shit. Not a performance move, so to speak, but a compatibility one. 🤷‍♂️

Devers, of course. If he put the team above himself, things may be different.

I’m not saying this was smart. Just seeing it for what it is. They couldn’t get rid of him fast enough.

Fuck, who can pass up a 32-yo SS due to make $25M/year who has totaled 2.5 WAR over the last 3 seasons?

Devers did by being a shitty defender.

Devers was a shitty defender long before they decided to bestow a $300M contract upon him.  Try again.

I would have agreed last night. Reading more, it was about Money. Liverpool FC needs a new winger or someshit like that.

Interesting angle. Two birds with one stone maybe?

Yeah, and in a selling mode. Fuck this season.

What is funny is my son got me a Sox Player t-shirt for Father's day. At the last minute he did not get me Devers.

The only position player on the Red Sox who on the all star ballots is, wait for it, Bregman.

Giancarlo has a higher OPS than your boy.
