@tylermilliken_ @IanMBrowne Is this a safe space? We sure he’s not just a pussy like casas?

Roman Anthony finally swung a bat today, but had some soreness, so they’ll back off on that front until after Thursday, per @IanMBrowne.

@DrPerkinstein @redsoxpayroll @magnum_tho86455 He was lucky last year. September his luck went away and that postseason start Jesus fucking Christ that was bad
English

Bello's contract is backloaded to the tune of:
2027 $8.67M
2028 $16.17M
2029 $19.17M
2030 $1M buyout
~$45M left over 3 years. To Boston, that's a $9.17M AAV the whole way. Any acquiring team would see the AAV jump to ~$15M/yr.
Ian Browne@IanMBrowne
In Brayan Bello's seven starts this season, covering 30 2/3 innings, he has a 9.68 ERA while allowing 10 home runs to go with 18 walks and 18 strikeouts. Assuming the Red Sox don't pull off a comeback for the ages today, they will be 1-6 in Bello's starts.

@redsoxpayroll @magnum_tho86455 I disagree with that it’s awful and was completely unnecessary. Never spend a dollar more than you have to on back end starters and that’s all Bello ever projected to be
English

@magnum_tho86455 6/$55M is not bad. You can get by with a few bad ones like this. He's just having his worst performance at the worst time for the contract to escalate.

@IanMBrowne Take the year Trevor. Your health is so important take next year off too bud if they don’t lock out
English

@tylermilliken_ @SmittyOnMLB Let’s go!!!!!!! Season ending?!?!
English

Trevor Story is landing on the IL , per @SmittyOnMLB.
Story had been hitting .206/.244/.303/.547 with a 47 wRC+. That’s the 5th-worst mark of any qualified hitter in baseball.

English

@DanBFox1287 Nobody wants to hear this but if he simply sells at the deadline post lockout they’ll be in fine shape. Loosing Chaims gift of story/Yoshida is huge
English

With that being said, I want to re-iterate that I don't want Craig Breslow fired.
I watched the 2023 Red Sox. Corey Kluber. Kyle Barraclough. Justin Garza. Richard Bleier. Etc.
The pitching talent in the organization can only be classified as non-existent, and what he and ..
Daniel Fox@DanBFox1287
Part of being a good baseball executive is admitting when you made a mistake. Signing the worst hitter in baseball to a team that desperately needed offense was a mistake. Stubbornly keeping him on the roster isn't helping anyone
English

@thosloan @MattMcCarthy985 Their tax number is 268 million and they have one of the worst offenses in modern MLB history. Taking players under contract dirt cheap for 6 years and deciding to pay them like they’re free agents has been devastating it’s indefensible
English

@EmcguirkEv @MattMcCarthy985 Yet they'll never be faced with a Skubal arbitration show down with them. The other side of the coin is way worse $ wise *provided in 2-3 yrs they actually reach star level.
English

Breslow should be fired immediately for what he’s done to this lineup over the last year, but the problems are much scarier than that. The 5 year plan implemented in 2020 is failing. This core is not good enough.
Anthony: hasn’t stayed healthy
Mayer: significant questions about whether he can hit. Also has injury concerns.
Rafaela: can’t hit consistently.
Duran: hasn’t hit since 2024. May never hit again.
Casas: hurt. Has barely hit.
Campbell: can’t even hit in Worcester.
There’s a real chance this group will never succeed.

5 runs in 3 games. 12th time in 43 games they’ve been held to 1 run or less. You’ve scored more than 3 runs just 1 once in the last 7 games. Another night where you had countless opportunities that got wasted. 1-for-11 with RISP.
Sucks to see good pitching wasted like this. We can talk bullpen decisions and defense, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t do more offensively.
8-14 at Fenway. 1-5-1 in series at home. Dramatic falloff for a team that was 48-33 at home last year.

English

@EdHand89 Look if I get that rumor going maybe it gets him out of Boston its desperate times man
English

@Jared_Carrabis This is the same show where Maz thought he was texting Linda Pizzuti for like 3 years and it was Kirk 😂 😂
English

@MLBaseball_Live Mike Trout has a full NTC and zero desire to ever play in the postseason he’s going no where
English

There's an expectation - MLB could see a flurry of Elite or Superstar talent moved at this deadline - like a wild one
My Blockbuster Trade Predictions:
1. Yordan Alvarez goes to Tampa Bay
2. Devers goes to the New York Yankees
3. Mike Trout goes to the Atlanta Braves
4. Adley Rutchman goes to Pittsburgh
5. Yordan Alvarez goes to TB Rays
6. Murakami goes across town to Cubs
7. Sonny Gray returns to the Athletics
8. Logan Webb is dealt to St. Louis for a haul that includes one of their top Catching prospects - one of their outfield prospects and a current ML Outfielder.
9. FTJ gets dealt to Toronto
10. The Dodgers land Gunnar Henderson
English

The Giants have about a billion dollars worth of shit contracts that they’d love to get rid of. Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s going to be very possible.

@SNY_Mets @chelsea_janes Oh my god please take him I would walk to queens and suck David Stearns dick
English

If the Mets hope to save their season, and they attempt to do so at "any cost," they'll have to get creative
Could one option be targeting a veteran around the sport who looks uncomfortable with their current team? What about Trevor Story with the Red Sox?
SNY's Chelsea Janes explores the hypothetical situation:
"Trevor Story is struggling, even as he is vocally frustrated with Red Sox management. Could the Mets pair a deal for him and his contract while grabbing an outfielder from Boston’s longstanding logjam?
...
If that sounds like throwing good money after bad, it might be. But if the whole season is going to be bad money anyway, might as well see if a fresh start for a player with a strong track record can help revive him and the Mets at once."

@ChrisCotillo Why couldn’t it have been Story and have that hand shattered into a million pieces
