Good news: Rays lost. A's lost. Bad news: Brian Johnson. Chris Owings. Indians came back from an 8-4 deficit to tie it against the Royals in the 9th. Good news: Our team has some baseball left to win it. Edit: Cleveland also lost. Let's get this game! A's are still in progress and leading

That's basically my point though. Bobby Dalbec is generally a mid 90's ranked prospect. If he was a first baseman only, I doubt if he'd be in anyone's top 200. I don't disagree with what you're saying and have generally been on that bandwagon. The one problem is that as everyone else gets more expensive, the Red Sox will need league minimum players. Trading Dalbec for a 1B that costs money might not work, and prospect-for-prospect trades are rare. If there's a chance that Dalbec the first baseman will give you the same production at 1B that a theoretical "prospect 1B" would give you there, while also serving as the backup 3B, then it's not necessarily horribly wasteful. And for what it's worth, we've gotten reports and Ian's reported firsthand that Dalbec's 3B defense has backed up a bit this year. Doesn't mean he couldn't work on it, but it's probably more likely he'd become an inferior defensive 3B to Devers than a better one at this point (that statement made in part acknowledging that Devers is probably a 55 over there, so not necessarily a knock on Dalbec). It's kind of funny, but the decision point there probably has more to do with Mookie Betts than anyone else. Is it range or hands in regards to Dalbec's defense?

This is where message board doctors who have never seen Sale's elbow or an MRI know more than James Andrews, the guy who invented the surgery. TJ surgery was actually invented by the late Frank Jobe.

I'm watching on YES. They never showed the replays of the plays by Chavis and Travis. Anti-baseball BS.

No Hill, although can sign up to next year's draft I believe? Since he's a senior.

My problem with the play is he's not even pretending to go for the plate. It wasn't like the catcher had the ball and his only option was going through the catcher to get to the plate. Meaning he had a decent shot at being safe without separating the catcher from the ball. It looks dirty to me, and I love those hardnosed Pete Rose in the all-star game collisions. The way he breaks inside, you almost have to wonder if it was a poor read of where Lucroy was going, which is why I left the door open for it just being incredibly stupid.

The one thing I don't get about the Eovaldi move is that, why do they need to name him a closer? Like I thought Cora was beyond making designations or titles like that after Kimbrel left and that was the plan for the bullpen this year? Now Eovaldi is coming back, he's the instant closer. Is Cora seriously going to only use him in 9th inning roles only? I get it if he comes back he can probably do 1-3 inning stints, but why does it have to have a title? Like why can't he just be a bullpen guy like the rest of the guys in the bullpen? Manager Alex Cora wouldn’t reveal whether Eovaldi will be used as a traditional closer (pitching mainly the ninth) or if he will be used in the highest-leverage inning. www.masslive.com/sports/2019/07/nathan-eovaldi-to-become-boston-red-sox-closer-but-alex-cora-says-were-not-closing-down-the-door-of-him-starting-later-on-in-the-season.html

The Red Sox are spending their international pool money on 10 prospects primarily from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, according to sources. The headliner for this year’s class for Boston is right-handed-hitting outfielder Juan Chacon of Venezuela. Chacon, who is expected to sign for just under $1 million, is a physical center fielder with lots of projection and tons of upside. He’s raw, but he has a chance to be a five-tool player. Additionally, the Red Sox are expected to sign shortstops Allan Castro and Kelvin Diaz of the Dominican Republic. www.mlb.com/news/red-sox-to-sign-juan-chacon-international-prospects?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage
