Volpe, Peraza and Dominguez are tearing it up. I think Peraza wins the SS job. It looks like they're turning IKF into the super sub since their super sub is gonna win the LF job (Cabrera). Volpe deserves better, but Peraza is ahead of him and is gonna be a good one. I would not mind seeing a mid season deal moving Torres so we can bring up Volpe for 2b

Hey at least they didn’t cut the dental plan for the accounting office again…
The Wi-Fi thing is just a way for the team to recoup the extra money it has to spend on players' haircuts and shaves.
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.
What they need are WiFi-enabled electric razors…
Looks like one of the kids won the OD SS job. Intrigued to see which one

You missed the part where I said Rodon is where Paxton was 3-4 years ago, when you were calling Paxton injury prone, even as a Yankee!
Rodon has been injury prone. But to say he is heading down Paxton's path is pretty dumb right now. Paxton literally fell apart.

Yes, the comparison is silly in many ways. The Sox risked $10 million on Paxton. The Yankees risked $162 million on Rodon.

I never said he was heading down his path. I said they had very similar histories when both were 28-30 years old. Both show(ed) promise, but have/had recent injury issues.
Paxton actually had 3 years in a row over 120 IP before joining the Yanks for the 2019 season, when he went 160 IP. You called him unreliable, back then.
Rodon is at age 30, now. he has 310 IP over the last 2 years. Paxton had 296. Rodon only has 2 seasons over 120+ IP since 2018- Paxton had 3 in a row at age 30. That's all I'm saying.
They had similar injury histories by age 29-30, and you called one injury prone and had little hope Paxton could stay healthy after age 30, but with Rodon, you have much higher expectations.
Yes, there is merit to thinking 310 IP over the last 2 seasons is promising, but Paxton had very close to that at a similar time in their age progressions and injury histories. it's undeniable and far from "dumb" to compare the two.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Volpe with a legit chance to be opening day SS.

And Sevy to start the season on the IL with a low grade lat strain. Accounting for setbacks in rehab he should be ready to pitch out of the bullpen by September
Every starter in the rotation except Cole has already had health issues, they're starting a rookie at the most important position behind the mound, and they're World Series favorites? Ok...
Calling it out as not happening. Unless all the other SS candidates in front of him get converted to SP in order to backfill the rotation…
A lot of that is more because of the annual volume of bets folks place on them and not really the quality of the team. Much like with the Cubs…
