Why exactly? Must be that they don't think Vasquez and Swihart are any good so they went trolling for more help in the high minors.

The Red Sox literally always have a third catcher on phantom DL in Pawtucket. Long, storied list of guys like Alberto Rosario, Gustavo Molina, etc.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC
