Chris Sale really has never been the same since he aired it out at the 2018 All-Star game.

Chris Bassitt was a very good sign and contract for the Blue Jays. Good example of what can happen on the good side of signing free agent starters. Gray, Montgomery, Stroman could be similar difference makers.

Trading Verdugo should be a high priority. There is no reason to extend him after next year, so get something for him. Surely yhere is some sucker out there who still thinks he’s going to be better than .280 with 15 home runs.

Chris Sale really has never been the same since he aired it out at the 2018 All-Star game. No, but for a half dozen start stretch he was vintage Sale. He was dominant against the Cards going 8 innings. In true 2023 Red Sox fashion the Sox managed to blow Sale's lead in the 9th and they lost. But I did see the old Sale. Problem is if we do see that, he will just get hurt again. You cant convince me that hes healthy right now with that diminished velocity.

Surely yhere is some sucker out there who still thinks he’s going to be better than .280 with 15 home runs. He's still a valuable player to a competitive team so he probably has some decent value but I think im pretty much on board with you here. I really don't think 2024 is going to be a true WS competitor and I don't want to give him an extension. Logically trading him makes the most sense assuming the return is at least decent. No idea what the return could be but as you say I'm not the GM so that's up to whoever is running the show to get the best deal they can.

Surely yhere is some sucker out there who still thinks he’s going to be better than .280 with 15 home runs. I was one of those suckers. I thought we were seeing a new Verdugo. He was playing solid defense and running the bases better and hitting. But 2 benching later I'm cured of that. He's a decent player but he'll never be more than that despite his talent. I'm for trading him if they can improve in a different area, namely pitching.

Off speed Sake spinning a gem Pretty obvious the days are gone of him being an ace on the mound but that doesn't mean he can't still be a viable pitcher using guile. He clearly can't dial it up all game long anymore without hurting himself but who knows maybe he can stay healthy shifting down and not going 110 percent every pitch.

They moved on from Benintendi to get Benintendi, with a poor attitude.

How many RISP have we stranded in the last 4-5 games. The number must be huge

And here we come to inning #5 for another Red Sox starter...
Then again, if they all could come into the fifth inning with 50 pitches, we'd be elated.

Sale 5th 4 seamers - 91, 92, 93, 94 ( velocity increasing).
Craftiest Sale yet this season. Mid 50s pitches thru 5.
The 94 was the first hit.

Kirk must be the slowest man alive. But it was a great throw.
