I never realized Don Zimmer played for the Expos.

If there a more lopsided matchup in any sport (that is worse than the twins continued ineptitude vs the yankees) i would love to hear about it. Because I don’t believe one exists

So did Harold Ramirez. I’d take him easily over Garrett Cooper.

Rockies are calling up their top prospect who is hitting .194/.337/.329 in AA. I guess that is a thing you're allowed to do.

Tanner Houck has the most valuable single pitch per Baseball Savant with his slider. Number two is... Cal Quantril's splitter?
Rockies acquired him for a minor league catcher from Cleveland after he was DFA'd by the Guardians. He has a 3.58 ERA despite pitching at Coors.

Avisail Garcia was released by the Marlins on Sunday. I wonder if CB2 enquired about a trade. Opportunity to buy a prospect or two but no longer.
Unfortunately MIA has one of the worst farms in the game but they're also cheap AF, so maybe they would've entertained swapping a couple of their second-tier guys (e.g. Head, White, Santana) in exchange for the Sox eating the $20m-ish remaining on Garcia's deal, plus maybe an org guy like Binelas or Decker.

Astros released Jose Abreu. Call me crazy, but I would take a flyer on him on a minors deal. No harm, no foul, little money, and see if he can turn things around with different people in his ear...

Solid experienced veteran who is only a few years removed from being a top player in the league. Even if he never hits again, having that kind of influence and experience for young guys in the minors holds value, and if he regains any ability to hit then you have a guy on min dollars who can help in the bigs as a RH. There's a decent chance he's cooked, but hell, the same goes for Joey Votto, but having that kind of guy around even if he never plays or plays only sparingly is a boon on a young team.

He doesn't really have to hit that much either. Just play good defense and he'd be an upgrade over Smith.

I know Abreu is kind of washed up but I'd like to see the Sox jump on him. They could use a RH hitting 1b anyways. Maybe he can do what Garrett Cooper failed to do or at least play adequate defense at 1b.

Even if he can't physically do it any longer, him in the ear of guys like Kavadas, Casas, Grissom, etc. It can't hurt, and again, it's cheap money, the Astros are paying him, you only have to pay the minimum. That said, seeing on how bad Rizzo has been, I can see the Yankees trying to bring him in also. So, the added benefit of giving the finger to NY is always a bonus in my book.

I don’t get this adequate defense conversation. Smith screwed up the one play but has mostly been fine? Casas, Dalbed, Cooper were all good defenders at first there. Adequate defense at first has not been a Red Sox problem this year generally speaking

Hard pass on Abreu he's cooked. Also he's not even good on defense so where the idea that he could add adequate defense is beyond me. Dalbec is better than Abreu at this point and that's saying a lot.

Also... it shouldn't go without notice that the MCD to the White Sox falling completely on their face was his absence. He was a leader in that dysfunctional shit hole. Probably the only leader on that team after Sale left. Anderson picked a fight and got knocked the f' out, the rest of the team either can't stay healthy, or are all rowing in different directions. You look at the talent on that roster the past few years and there is no good reason they should be as bad as they are. Bad leadership and no accountability.

I'd maybe sign him to a minor league deal for the "veteran leadership" angle, but it would be crazy for the Red Sox to give him major league at-bats at this point.
Hope Cavan Biggio can find some success in Los Angeles. The name created unreasonable expectations in Toronto, I think, especially since you also had legacy players in Vladdy and Bichette. A weird era of Blue Jays baseball.
