In the meantime, the BoSox trade Melancon and Sands away for an old expensive closer. Youth movements cannot happen in Boston because the fans don’t understand it. They insist on being competitive every year even at the cost of the future and even if they end up not being competitive.
Like this year when they had the best team in baseball and won 69 games. Melancon will have a great 4 years in PITT at cheap cost and would not surprise me to see Sands soon with 30 HR.
But Brock Holt 2B to the Sox, he is a good player, age 25.
I hope Epstein is making progress with Cubbies. Why are so many freepers also Cubs fans?
Are they? Beats me. Lots of Americans are Cubs fans cause they can watch them on national WGN free tv. In the past almost every Cubs game was on WGN, now it's split with Comcast sportsnet.
I don't like the contract Epstein just gave Edwin Jackson after being snubbed by Anibal Sanchez.
“Youth movements cannot happen in Boston because the fans don’t understand it.”
Exactly. And the RS are essentially making the same stupid moves by paying real money for mediocre players and trading cheap (and potentially good) players for more expensive and mediocre players (Hanrahan). Whatevs.

No idea.
