I do question the upside in making a public proclamation that they're buying at the deadline. Not exactly playing good ball right now, lose more than they win over the next week and is buying still going to look appealing? Hope they just pick things up again and that's not an issue though.

DO NOT GIVE UP A SINGLE THING AT THE DEADLINE.
This team is bad and doesn’t deserve wasting prospects on.

The only thing I can think of is this was the agreement to a Cora extension. Which, I really, really hate. I don't mind Cora. I just hate the idea of wasting assets on what might be a lost cause just to get the coach to sign a contract, but that's nothing to complain about until deals are made. So, we'll see what "buying" means to Breslow.

How is saying the team shouldn’t waste prospects being a cry baby? lol what an idiotic post.

Duran setting a never give up example. If they had 9 Durans I feel like this team could come back from 3-20. Probably not, but he's both talented and a true gamer.

DO NOT GIVE UP A SINGLE THING AT THE DEADLINE. This team is bad and doesn’t deserve wasting prospects on. i wouldn't give up any of our top 5 guys, (anthony, mayer, teel, monty, campbell) and i'm probably not even considering trading the top 10 guys, but i definitely wouldn't rule out trading the rule 5 guys like paulino, yorke, lugo, jordan, if wikelman has any value, i'd trade meidroth if another team really likes him, guys like that. heck, i'd take calls on zanetello. also, shout out jarren duran, he's shown up consistently even during this bad road trip,

Because this team is very obviously not “bad” and allowing one game (or five games) to affect your opinion on that is just pretty, um, fill in whatever adjective you’d like.

Pathetic game. Revenge of the 18 and 07 Workd Series I guess. (I'm happier with the trophies, lol).
Bailey had these guys pitching out of their minds in April but now these guys are getting mauled (Criswell excepted). Can Bailey now fix these guys on the fly? Have they hit the wall or has the league simply adjusted to their pitching strategies?
It's just fugly right now.
I hope the Yankees dont kick their ass this weekend. As poor as the Yankees have been, the Sox are there for the taking.
To snap out of it they need better situational hitting and their pitching cant suck this bad.
Even if the Yankees sweep them I'm still in the buy camp, but let's face it, it would me a moderate buy thing. Try to bring the glaring holes up to average, hang onto their top 5 prospects plus Arias, and trade some of the surplus and guys who are on the bubble for the 40 man roster crunch and see what they can do.
I mean they could help themselves a bit bringing back Turner and Paxton if they want to help themselves cheaply, and still have chips to upgrade the pen or whatever else they need to do.
I dont think punting the season makes sense when they are capable of playing better than this, which they are. A 3 gane deficit to non powerhouse teams shouldn't be insurmountable.

Duran setting a never give up example. It's awesome when players go all out hustle. Especially, down 20-5. Duran creates excitement. Fun to watch.

Odd situation - for the last few years, I've been fatalistic tilting negative. Despite the awful roadtrip, I am feeling pretty positive - returning home, Breslow clearly picking a lane, and Cora's extension. I think we will be in the playoffs.

Wouldnt bet my life on them making the playoffs but I think they will. I think sooner or later the Twins and Royals will hit a bump.

Wouldnt bet my life on them making the playoffs but I think they will. I think sooner or later the Twins and Royals will hit a bump. Twins always have injury problems that will continue to stack on them and have openly admitted their purse strings are tight. The Royals SP peripherals are awful for the most part and they have one of the 3 worst farm systems in the league meaning they have nothing to trade for anything of substance at the deadline. In short, I think it’s above a 70% chance they make the playoffs. EDIT: Mariners offense will continue to be awful even if Julio comes back and returns to form. Becoming more and more evident by the day that they’re gonna have to part with one of their elite SPs in the offseason in order to get an controllable thump in that lineup.

Gerrit Cole’s night just finished up vs the Mets, and he pitched like he was playing in a do-or-die Wild Card Game. He currently has a 5.40 ERA.

Last 10 games
Balt 3-7 MFY 4-6 Boston 4-6 Cle 4-6 Twins 4-6 Hou 5-5 Sea 2-8
Only KC is above .500 of the contenders - 6-4 in their last 10
So - the big issue is we didn't take advantage of other team's issues.
Fangraphs has us at 37%.

So KC is 6-4 in their last 10. So - the big issue is we didn't take advantage of other team's issues. Glass half full view: at least substantial ground wasn’t lost in the standings

Two things that will help most of us move past this loss a little easier: 1. No game to worry about tomorrow 2. Draft class signing tomorrow (reportedly)

There will be quite a few rule 5 eligible players who realistically could be added in November. I’d trade those guys but not touch any top guys on this team, unless, something unexpected comes up like a Skubal trade. In which case I’m not sure how the Sox could outbid the Dodgers or Orioles.

They could outbid the Dodgers, unless the Dodgers are giving away pieces currently in the majors, and if Red Sox were willing to part with Mayer or Anthony.
