You have to think we'll hear some concrete news about a DD replacement pretty soon, right? We'll know within days of the end of the WS whether JD is opting out or not, and the dominoes will start falling from there...

they are holding off making the announcement in case the MFY win the world series. if they do, Sox will announce the new GM that day to try and steal some headlines.

So you’re confessing?

It was a courtesy by this journalist-turned-attorney who abhors errors and appreciates corrections.

JBJ had 155 K's in 494 AB's. Wonder how many Men left on Base this left during season, but Hey swing for the Fences. Launch angle and Exit velocity, more important then making contact. And maybe letting a Fielder, have a chance at an error.
Analytics.

I think his ground ball rate is very high and he pulls so is easy to defend with a shift. Part of his hitting woes.

I would think they would want the new GM on board to participate in the key decisions that are soon to come. JDM, jbj, Betts and maybe some other surprises.

I’m all about JBJ as a late innng Defensive replacement at about 4 million a year over 2 but anything other than this ? Ohhhhhhhhh hellllllll No !!!!

JBJ will be a starter somewhere next year. He's not a 4th outfielder. Maybe in a few years he will be.

I really hope that JBJ is our starting CFer next year.

I also hope that Porcello is in our rotation.

100% guaranteed.

JBJ is still my favorite player, but I seriously doubt he's back next year, unless we non tender him, and he agrees to come back at a lower than arb cost.

Porcello will cost too much to bring back to a team looking to reset.

We can't afford either of them, especially, if as you said, we will be contenders in 2020, and we reset.

If the Sox tender him a contract, it will be in Boston...

[Swiharts Ghost]

100% guaranteed.

For about 2 months then waivers

He will be the FT starting CF'er for a good team all 2020 long. Book it.

Not a chance and I also love the guy .He can’t hit for months at a time .

So what do you do with a player like that, who has flashes of brilliance at the plate but is GG defender? Bury him up in the 9th spot in the order and enjoy the defense.
