Alex Speier @alexspeier 13 sec. The Red Sox are now up to 52 baserunning outs, 6 more than any other team in MLB.
Adding insult to injury

True, but it's mostly based on an insane defensive season. Offensively, he's definitely not playing up to projections/expectations. Defense helps as much as offense. Yeah 'mostly' wasn't the right way to put it. But Betts being 69th in wRC+ in baseball is disappointing.

I like Mookie too but the fact is he's hitting .272. He's under-performing in a way very similar to the way Ramirez is performing. It's really ridiculous the way fan pick on players who are making a lot of money. There is no doubt in my mind that if Betts had signed a 20 million dollar a year contract after last season quite a large number of fans would be ripping him to pieces for the year he is having. Mookie is 3rd in the AL in fWAR. A large number of fans would be morons for ripping him. True, but it's largely based on an insane defensive season. Offensively, he's definitely not playing up to projections/expectations.

Home runs are up everywhere around the league. Why did this team not get the memo? Bleeping Whit Merrifield would be the team OPS leader if he was on the Sox.

Unless it's an impact trade for a position, power bat, we need to go with what we have. Nunez and Devers should add quality depth for the stretch run. I don't want to give up bunch of prospects for a rental. We are snake bitten a bit. We can't get the entire rotation in sync health wise.Is there a team that can?

This is reaching 'beer and chicken' levels on how quick I've had enough of this subject.

Scott Lauber @scottlauber 7 min. The plan, as we suspected, is for Eduardo Nunez to play regularly at multiple positions. Has never played 1B, but will begin working there.

Scott Lauber @scottlauber 6 min. Farrell on not sending down Devers: "That's like asking somebody to dinner and asking them when they're leaving when they come in the door."
I love this lol

Jared Oliver pitched 2 innings last night for Lowell. He struck out 6 (with no walks), and gave up just one hit. He's an intriguing arm if he can limit his walks. If you look at his college stats on his bio he has already made huge strides since then. Very old for the league however.

Evan Drellich evandrellich 13 min The Red Sox haven’t announced a roster move for Eduardo Nunez. I’m told there are 26 players here.

The rare DSL to Lowell move. That's definitely a rare promotion, but not all things are equal here since Martinez went to college in the US.

Leonel Jimenez appears to be the first player the Sox have signed from Panama since Javier Guerra in July 2012. Ben Badler had him as a Venezuelan player.

@tylerdearden: After much thought, I have decided to sign with the Boston Red Sox. Excited to be a part of such a great organization.

If Thompson does not sign are we still in good shape as far the draft pool of money goes? Meaning no penalties. It seems like that, yes.

Okay, it's not that bad in a literal sense, but looking at the players we've got, it's an overall theme of under-performance and that's bad.
