  1. Lost the last NINE in a row at the Trop… a new record!

    The Sox are 18-39 vs the AL East this year.

    Cora and Bloom will (should) both be back next year. Bloom needs to step up his game big time this off-season.

    And they still need to sign Devers… the off-season can’t get here fast enough.

  2. As expected, Chris Sale is out for the year.

    At least September call ups are only a few weeks away. Might as well see if any AA or AAA prospects are worth a damn.

    Remember when they won 4 WS titles in 15 years? That was fun.

  3. Also would like to wish Christian Vázquez well in the months and years ahead.

    Drafted in 2008(!) out of Puerto Rico. Took him six(!) years until he made it to the bigs in 2014.

    Missed all of 2015 with TJ surgery.

    Grew into his own in 2017 and 2018 (when he got a RING — and the clinching HR to stave off the Yanks in the ALDS).

    Last three years has been out-fucking-standing. Best catcher we’ve seen since ‘Tek. He’s gonna get a nice 4-5 year deal in free agency and deserves every penny of it.

    Kinda hate that he’s going to the Astros for now, but he deserves another run. He’s a helluva lot better than Maldonado, although that doesn’t say much.

    He was a real one. Buena suerte, Christian.

  4. Odd timing:

    The Houston Astros are finalizing a deal to acquire catcher Christian Vázquez from the Boston Red Sox, sources tell ESPN. The Red Sox are playing in Houston tonight, so Vázquez presumably will just walk around the stadium to join his new teammates. And the Sox's sale begins.

  5. Today, the Red Sox will try to avoid joining the 2022 Pirates and 1996 Tigers as the only teams in MLB history to go an entire calendar month without getting a win from a starting pitcher. Josh Winckowski is the only person who can prevent it.
