Campbell was the #3 reliever at the start of the season and looked awesome. Stuff+ thought he was a bonafide monster. He had a blow up then went on the IL and has been pretty good in AAA since returning. I still like him plenty

He had a blow up then went on the IL and has been pretty good in AAA since returning. I still like him plenty DFA or trade Uwasawa, Dalbec, or several others even Heineman. The Red Sox have plenty of catchers in AAA (who are better than him….at least offensively).

Grissom hasnt played since June 1 and dosnt seem close to resuming baseball activities. Id say quite posible he is moved to 60 DDL to make room

The Red Sox have plenty of catchers in AAA (who are better than him….at least offensively). I think it’s a DFA for Uwasawa. He hasn’t been good and now he’s a bit redundant w/ Keller there in AAA. They need the minor league catcher depth in Heineman and even though Dalbec can’t hit a beach ball in the majors, his glove at the corners is too critical to give up in the horrific event Dom or Raffy get hurt.

Agreed, when I commented and list Uwasawa first, that is overwhelmingly who I think it should be. Pretty much everyone else on the 40-man a case can be made for why they have value.

They need the minor league catcher depth in Heineman and even though Dalbec can’t hit a beach ball in the majors, his glove at the corners is too critical to give up in the horrific event Dom or Raffy get hurt. His glove really isn't critical. Romy can play both corners with a better bat than Bob. Refsnyder can play 1B if Cora is willing to try him there. If Smith goes down, you can always call up Kavadas. I would hugely prefer that to calling up Bobby. Casas won't be gone long either, and a guy like Meidroth or Sogard could mix in at 3B. You can easily find a scrub on waivers who can play an alright 1B/3B if you don't care about their bat. If Bob can't hit, he is useless, even as a backup. I would put Grissom on the 60 day, then remove Dalbec from the 40 the next time a spot is needed. If we can find a trade, great. If not, no small wonder, as he must have no value right now.

He’s only pitched 6 innings that would be a Silly give up on Campbell already Well it's preferable to the numerous suggestions that he be "shot into the Sun." I recall David Hamilton was also supposed to be on that rocket. Maybe that's a good omen for Soup...

He's been good enough that he merited a call-up a few weeks ago, I think when Connor went to meet his kid.

Back to the subject of the thread, this Estes kid threw a freaking Maddux at the Halos his last time out. If I still lived in Reno I might put some money-line action on the A's, just to jinx him.

I guess they could put Mata on the 60-day... would give them some time. Weird message to send to a guy on a rehab assignment though.

Like a lot of people, I just assumed Uwasawa would get DFA'd since he hasn't really been good at all. On a related note, thanks to the new Domestic Reserve numbers, I'd have to think we're getting pretty close to a bloodbath in Worcester.

The Sox record in their first game back after a road trip is 1-6. In their first game of a series for the entire season it is 11-17. On a more positive note, they have won the first game of the 2 most recent series.

These next 6 games are huge.
A chance to beat up on a lesser team at home vs. Oakland to maintain the positive inertia the team currently carries.
A chance to create separation vs. the team that currently looks like the primary threat for WC #3. (KC)
With Breslow committed to "picking a direction," these games will go far in determining the strategy for '24. That is as high leverage as it gets.
Ragans/Lugo/Singer for the KC series will be a tough assignment and good test for the offense prior to the ASB.
Fingers crossed that we are in the midst of a Rafaela breakout that leads to a strong 2nd half for our next young star.

Ohh....Maybe I don't want Wink and Criswell that series after all. Maybe one of them Thursday and push Houk and Crawford forward one day. Match them with Houk, Crawford and Bello.

Still waiting to hear how they fill spot 26 on the active roster for tonight. Seems an arm is needed.

Oh wow - Valdez went down for Jamie Westbrook. Err... why? Valdez was hitting. The defense has its issues but Westbrook's is pretty bad too.

Valdez has been raking for a month. 132 wRC+ since June 14 and he hasn't been getting lucky his xwOBA is just that good. Westbrook isn't enough better defensively to explain that for me.

Ehh, I guess. But if my math checks out, this implies 3 of the next 6 starters before the break are righties as well. And they do already have Rafaela and Romy.

Yes, but i assume Romy would play first instead of Dom versus the lefties. Hamilton over Valdez against righties with Ceddanne playing short feels pretty equal to Hamilton at short and Valdez at second, but you get the boost against lefties with Westbrook.
