Does this waiver even really matter anymore? If the info that the 2 year clock started when he graduated is right, won't he have fulfilled that by May of next year? No spring training and he would be getting a late start, but isn't it possible he gets to play most of next season even without the waiver? Or am I wrong with that assumption?

Even though the pick is in line with a lot of other outlets, the logic strikes me as strange, considering the rest of those guys were taken out of college.

Proud to be the lone vote for Rio Gomez.

I have a dumb question, so go gentle: who pays the minor leaguers? Since minor league teams often have their own owners, is the cost shared between the team and the parent org? Does Henry pay down the whole line in the Sox org? That has no bearing on the justice issue. I’m just curious. The major league club pays the MiLB player salaries of all their affiliates.

Anyone know who the other catcher paired with him here is? Roldani?

It also should be noted that base stealing would become harder, because catchers wouldn't need to worry about stealing the strike call while receiving in a way that gets them ready to throw. Without framing, the catcher can basically get as close to throwing position as he can so long as it isn't interference. MLB is also playing around with ways to encourage more stolen bases, so... does Ivan Rodriguez have a kid? Yeah but he pitches for the Giants.

I think he'll win you over in two weeks when he trades JBJ.

Trading Price for Choo for the sake of clearing cap would be rough seeing as the team would have to go out and spend on front end pitching. Now Eovaldi for Odor could be interesting. Are we taking into account the fact that Odor stinks? No pun intended, he honestly just isn't good at baseball.

That series winning HR exemplifies modern baseball completely. A strong little guy totally dug in and reaching across the plate to pull a high OUTSIDE fastball to left center for the series winning home run. Somewhere in the great beyond, Sal Maglie is turning over in his grave. That was a slider. At the end of the game Correa was incredulous to parpahrase and asked Altuve "How did you do it? You sat on his slider?" Altuve said "yes." Correa went on in disbelief and told the reporter to paraprase "WHo would sit on a slider from a pitcher that throws over 100 mph fastballs?" Though MLB explained it-- said Altuve is so damn smart. He must've known Chapman didn't have his fastball command. What can you say about Altuve? The small dude is as big of player as you'll ever find. He almost had that big blast vs us last year. He's a likable maniac. Altuve actually admitted he was looking fastball on postgame. He said he was sitting on the fastball, "but I guess I was late, because I hit a slider."

Also rooting for DC over H-Town at this point, but another interesting story would be a STL-HOU series, considering the whole corporate espionage situation from a few years ago.

Yankees potentially will only have to face Cole once in the ALCS He's lined up perfectly for games 3 and 7.

Chris Murphy is an animal. He’s dominated the NYPL as a college starter. Wouldn’t be out of the question to see him skip Greenville like Houck did. It's possible but I'd expect him to be more on a Thaddeus track, breaking camp with Gville with a summer call to Salem.

Thanks He's no loss for them 4th on the team in bWAR in just over half a season. But, I guess you're right in that they'll just find some other AAAA nobody to pull a Gio Urshela / Luke Voit.

Jonathan Diaz with his first Lowell home run. Big Joe Davis hit his fourth. He stands 6'6", weighs 245, is broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip.... No clue who you are talking about but its neither of those guys

To chime in on the broadcast discussion: Sean McDonough is back in Boston as one of the rotating PBP guys on WEEI this year, and the dude has still got it. Would love to get him back on NESN.

Does anyone that has got extensive looks at Dalbec's game think it would translate to RF? One or both of Mookie/JBJ are not likely to be on the Red Sox in a year or so. Might be the best place to try him out IMO.

What about Rafaela & Perez. Lots of talk about Rafaela from Alex Speier, and Perez seems to keep hitting this year. How was Brock Bell's velo today? Any other observations besides Lugo? Unfortunately, I see Lugo as the only future tier 1 prospect. Casas?

Option Velasquez. Dumb call, since Bellinger still would have been out even without the obstruction.
