Red Sox payroll on Twitter has us over already. I trust him and he does a great job but I just don’t know if Bloom and company would be over by so little right now. I’m hoping maybe some Ottovino money or something was miscalculated by him. I do think if we’re still playing well and in first we go over. Sox are paying both Brazier and Workman. They'll get under if they stay with that plan

Hunter Renfroe is quickly becoming my favorite player on this team. Great signing. Nice to see Richards at least go 5.2 innings. The Red Sox are amazing at coming back this year very impressive. Hunter reminds me of Tom Brunansky. Both around the same age when we got them. Like Bruno, Hunter is becoming a fan fave. That mug reminds me of Bruno. Adolfo Bruno

I hate “defensive indifference.” If you can throw the guy out, do it. The second baseman isn't going over for the throw. Nobody to throw to. Focus is on the batter A pitchout would work

Mr. Wong put together a nice looking AB. You'd never know he's been overmatched at Worcester. Wong in the 9-hole is like having two leadoff hitters. Solves the leadoff problem

If loving Wong is Wrong, I don't wanna be right. Wong combines superb plate discipline with his gold glove defense

Barnes is returning to Earth and it may be time to move him out of the closer role. Barnes has always been Barnes and there is no reason to think he will ever be anything else. He's good but has never thrived in high pressure situations and isn't what would be called a horse. He's a pitcher whose usage must be carefully managed because his efficiency drops off when he's not got sufficient rest. If Barnes ain't an MLB closer, every team must have a $14 million Mariano clone. Barnes is 16 for 19 Sox won 2 of 3 games with his blown saves. A blown save does not equal a loss

Time to send Dalbec down for 10 days. Plenty of alternative roster candidates.
And I like Renfroe as lead off

Looks like they got Duran for '21 and 6 more years, ending in '27. No way around it. Unless he struggles and gets optioned next spring.

Santana should be sent down and Franchy up to see if his new plate discipline is real or if he’s better suited for the Nippon league. Kiké is, was and always will be a utility guy who should never bat higher than seventh in the order. Arroyo should have second and bat lead-off until he shows he can’t do either. There, I said ir. Can Santana be sent down? I know he has 2 options, but is it possible he signed a contract that said that, after the initial rehab/ST games, he could not be sent down? Santana, more than 5 years MLB service time. Can't be optioned without his permission

Just got home, but letting Richards hit with two runners on so he can face some batters for the third time when the pen doesn't need a break is awful situation comedy TV

Merloni was right. No reason to use JDM as a late-inning defensive specialist

All 4 of these SPs are dreadful hitters. Although Ian Anderson appears to be an excellent bunter.

Marwin never pitched in milb, nor in MLB. Arroyo ... same. They must be practicing Pawlecki is a pitcher. Not sure why he was passed over

Just awful pitching lately. Eovaldi ... needs just two more outs to qualify for the win. He sure is the "pitcher of record"

Option Dalbec if Sox are facing a squeeze Option Valdez ... same.
Keep the prospects, trade a veteran
Brasier: concussions are serious Mata: not going on the 60-day MLB IL. His service time is too valuable

KC winning the trade, due to Benintendi resurgence. He's a trade chip in July or '22. www.mlb.com/prospects/redsox/Khalil is still #7 Mets Valdez is #21 Sox

If the Sox get one of Lacy, Lynch or Witt from KC or Alvarez, Allan or Mauricio from the Mets, I'll be ready to do a full mea culpa. I posted in the trade rumors post, but I'll sort of re-post here. Could we further improve the likelihood of a good return by adding Chavis or Marwin, or both? The Mets are desperate right now for warm bodies who can play multiple positions with all of their injuries. Now seems like the time to strike to take advantage of that for our own future, no? Chavis is blocked basically by Dalbec, Casas eventually, Marwin, Kiké, Arroyo, and even Franchy who the Sox want to give a bigger leash. Marwin is a defensive wizard who's bat has been imo so-so, but I think the Mets will take so-so over the dregs they have remaining, especially because I think his versatility still makes him > Pillar, even if he hits .230 the rest of the way. Marwin cannot be traded before June 15 "8. An Article XX-B MLB free-agent who signs a Major League contract after 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series has an automatic "no trade" right through June 15th. The player can waive this right, but if he does he can be traded only for cash and/or player contracts with a maximum aggregate value of $50,000. Note that an Article XX-B MLB free-agent who signs a minor league contract after 11:59 PM (Eastern) on the 5th day after the final game of the World Series does NOT receive an automatic "no trade" right, even if the player is later added to the club's MLB Reserve List (40-man roster)" www.thecubreporter.com/book/export/html/3524
