I think people are wildly overreacting but that’s the name of the game when you’re losing to the yankees I suppose

I am Garrett Cole. I throw 99. Jeter Downs has looked helpless against velocity. I will hang a breaking ball.

Jetes!
An 0-2 hit by JBJ off a top P and a HR by Jetes get us back in the game. That's BB Suzyn.

Even the 2012 Red Sox were better at this point lol They faced some divisional teams at a really bad time health-wise and have lost in some terrible ways that makes it hurt a little extra, I’m not really hitting the panic button tho I didn’t think they were a likely World Series contender though so maybe I had lower expectations

If we can pull off a W by some miracle we can at least demoralize some MFY fans

isn’t acceptable for a competitive team.
Are they? Looks less and less so every day.

Are they? Looks less and less so every day. Even with the Sale injury, pitching isn’t the issue. The bats are consistently unreliable, even Xander and JDM don’t deliver with runners on, but it’s all the blackholes at the bottom of the lineup that really kill rallies. Franchy has been worse than Bobby lately and JBJ is hitting worse than a pitcher

If you can trade Sale and Eovaldi and Wacha and start next season with Pivetta, Crawford, Winckowski, Bello, Mata, Groome and maybe draft Rocker you have a staff without a true ace but with potential to develop several serviceable starters and that doesn't include Whitlock and Houck either of who add to the depth. What happens with the hitters depends on what happens with Xander and Devers (who they should now have the $$$ to sign), but since the pitchers probably won't be enough to get you home next year anyway you can bring up Casas and wait on Rafaela and perhaps who the trades yielded for a season while still being more entertaining than this season.

I have hard time seeing a team willing to do that without taking a horrible contract back in return.

There's still lots of season left. I haven't given up hope in them getting into the post-season. I had them at 87 wins, so I thought they were likely to regress a bit and have an outside chance at making the post-season. It is extremely hard to get back to an ALCS, especially if you are not the top 1 or 2 teams.
Like Manfred said I don't think you get very much for some of these players that are playing on expiring contracts with the exception of maybe Eovaldi - everyone going to the post-season is going to want a quality starter. But one never knows what teams might be looking for and would be will to pay if there is bidding war for a player.
