With Romy Gonzalez scheduled to come off the IL and rejoin the MLB team tomorrow, do we get a one-and-done DFA for Tsung-Che Cheng, or do we finally see Roman Anthony transferred to the 60-day IL? I lean toward keeping Cheng for the time being because I don’t love giving shortstop to Monasterio for any extended period of time.

Miguel Bleis in June: 17 R, 3 HR, 10 RBI, 3 SB .258/.338/..485/.823

I’ll keep shouting it from the rooftops, but the defining storyline of the season is that five of the seven most important players from last year (Brayan Bello, Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran and Trevor Story) had legitimately first percentile outcome seasons. They are various smaller issues under that umbrella, but any conversation about this season needs to start with this

At the halfway point: Durbin + Contreras: 23 HR, 125 OPS+, 4.4 bWAR for $19 million Bregman + Devers: 18 HR, 102 OPS+, 2.7 bWAR for $62 million

Begging people to just stop and re-listen to their own arguments: This rotation is so awesome that this season must be Breslows fault because, uh, he couldn’t keep Anthony healthy and, uh, he couldn’t stop Duran from being the worst hitter in the AL and, uh, he couldn’t find someone to dump Yoshidas contract on

American League teams with a better run differential than the Red Sox: - Yankees - Rays - White Sox - Mariners That's it. Red Sox are in 5th.

Big news out of Anaheim: The Angels have dismissed GM Perry Minasian from his position and appointed John Mozeliak as Baseball Operations Consultant, serving as Interim GM. Mozeliak will oversee day-to-day baseball operations while assisting the club in its search for a new GM.

There’s nothing wrong with accountability but publicly calling your player soft while doing it anonymously is at best incredibly hypocritical.

Friday night Payton Tolle starts make you believe that this Red Sox team is good. They’re not, but nights like these make you think what if.

And now we know why the hit piece came out this morning!
