I am so sick of umpires. Turner got a 2-0 pitch like 6 inches outside called a strike in the 2nd and it tanked the whole inning. Then Paxton drills the corner and no strike call.

Paxton's filthy..
*huge caveat of him being healthy* but he might just fetch a haul at the deadline. This guy can step into a bunch of playoff rotations and have a legitimate case to be the number 1 starter.

Considering Torontos farm is already pretty empty I'd hope they could find a better trade partner elsewhere. I'm still pounding the table for a trade with Texas. Package a couple guys, whatever it takes to get one of their pitching prospects. Would be sort of funny after all the prayers for Jack Leiter in the 2021 draft if the Red Sox trade for him. Might be a reasonable return for Paxton, though hoping they do a little better.

Paxton looks more in command than any pitcher I’ve seen since 2007 postseason Beckett, the fastball command is unreal.
This offense is honestly worse than 2014, worst of this century with the inconsistency. At least we still had Papi then. Give me crappy pitching and a good offense any day lol

I’ve never seen such a lifeless offense as I have for the better part of the last two months

Paxton right now is the best pitcher we've had since Sale was in his prime

Am I right in thinking JT almost certainly opts out? If I recall correctly he has something like a $6.5 million buyout, so I'm assuming he'd only need to expect an offer better than like $7-8 million to opt out.

He only gains 6.7 million by taking the option, he'd have to tear his ACL or put up a 500 OPS the rest of the way or something
