I'm sure the guy that replaces Leon will thrill everyone with his offense too.

Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
All the new catcher has to do is drop a three or four f-bombs and he'll be more offensive than Sandy Leon...Originally Posted by Bellhorn04

That's fucking funny -- whoops, sorry if I defended notin
The guy Leon replaces in Cleveland was a better hitter and a good defender. I guess other teams also value great defense from the catching position- not just the Sox.
Leon was a plus on this team despite his sub .600 OPS.
Just Sale's numbers with him vs Vaz were enough to make him a plus.
Career with Sale:
2.51 w AJ P (226 innings)
2.79 w Leon (436 innings)
3.02 w Flowers (97)
3.36 w Phegley (88)
3.53 w Avila (112)
4.61 w Vaz (84)
Also, with Price...
2.67 Avila (111)
2.85 Molina (473)
2.96 Leon (204)
3.06 Jaso (191)
3.09 Navarro (128)
3.61 Shoppach (162)
4.27 Vaz (360)

When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
The Indians will be dumping Plawecki. The Sox should pick him up to replace Leon.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
Bloom has the same thumb up his ass approach to off seasons that Ben had.

I can't claim to know where any of this is going, but I'll wait to see where things land by spring training. Ownership set him up for a near-impossible task before he was even hired, and he walked in to a fan base expecting him to work miracles from day one.
Lol!

By this date five years ago Ben Cherington had signed Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval.
2013 team Ben built was OK, it was the years after that screwed him. Should have kept that thumb up there.
Signed Rusney that year too.
Ben did go a little nuts prior to the 2013 season, signing free agents Mike Napoli, Stephen Drew, Shane Victorino, Koji Uehara, Jonny Gomes and David Ross...
It appears "thumb in ass" = building a ring team

Phillies claimed Trevor Kelley.

By my count, we are down to 34 players on the 40 man roster:
Assuming Pedey starts on the 60 day IL or maybe 15 day, players in Red might make the opening 26 man roster- assuming no acquisitions (which is impossible.)
C: Vazquez
1B: Dalbec (3B), Travis (LF)
2B: Pedroia (DH), Chavis (1B/3B), Lin (SS/3B/OF)
3B: Devers
SS: Bogaerts, Chatham (2B)
LF: Benintendi
CF: Bradley (traded?), Wilson
RF: Betts
DH: Martinez
SP: Sale, Rodriguez, Price, Eovaldi, D Hernandez, Velazquez, Shawaryn, Hart, Weber, Reyes
RP: Workman, Barnes, Walden, Taylor, Hembree, Brasier, Brewer, Lakins, Poyner, Aybar
Most likely, Chatham, Wilson, Brewer and Velazquez will be replaced by acquired players. Travis, Brasier and Lin could be, too.
