The Royals saw Tomas just yesterday in the Dominican Republic, tweets Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star.

victorino, wmb, and jbj wont be on the roster? who are you rolling with as an outfield next year? castillo, betts, and cespedes with nava playing here and there? im seriously asking. and if they dont have a 3b, they need a 3b (if they miss panda, who is there to get) AND 2 top end starters, AND a catcher. that's alot to bank on. Every team has needs... And we didnt get Cespedes and Castillo to have them not play. And Betts has to play. I don't see us paying Victorino $14 mil to sit on the bench. so jbj went from "being shafted from the gg" to being cut/traded? betts went from being a "top" infield prospect to being a starting cf? victorino is now going to be cut/traded for nothing? what do you expect to get back for jbj and shane? im not expecting much at all, and that just leaves more they need to replace. the sox have the chance to make lots of good moves, and lots of bad moves. its not as easy as youre making it out to be. |

He did t have a decent season last year, he was terrible. He hit .220 with 11 HRs and slugged .362 |

Whose playing Second when Pedroia fakes another injury? I know you are joking, but I am serious on this. It's not if or when he fakes an injury that is his problem. His problem is always trying to play through injuries. I don't know, but I still feel that 100% of a replacement for him would be more helpful to the Sox than 50% of Pedroia. As Pedroia is only 75% or a regular person to begin with,......... |

(i would imagine betts in any hamels deal, to play of for now, then replace utley). i forsee the following lineup next season (assuming they keep betts). 1. holt (3b) 2. pedroia (2b) 3. cespedes (lf) 4. ortiz (dh) 5. napoli (1b) 6. victorino (rf/cf) 7. castillo (rf/cf) 8. boegarts (ss) 9. vazquez (c) |

I agree with everything but him playing through injury No player is as famous as Pedroia for struggling through a mediocre season, and THAN leaking that he was playing through an injury Maybe its true, but I find it strange that with any subpar Pedroia season, comes news of some injury |

And, if they did get him, another would be sent off as well. They may have to pay part of a remaining contract, but, oh well... |

I really don't know, as I know I can't trust players and teams to be 100% honest about any injuries. And, I agreed that it comes off really shitty when anybody says, after a bad season, that they played hurt. In some cases it seems to make a lot of sense. However, how will any of us really know? |

He did t have a decent season last year, he was terrible. He hit .220 with 11 HRs and slugged .362 fair enough. i swore i saw him hitting arounf .260-270 and the few times i did see him on tv, he was making good contact. |

Cespedes. I mean, I'm not kicking him off the team, I just think he won't be on the team when the Red Sox break camp at the end of March. Sometimes rumors are complete bullshit and we know they are bullshit. But there have just been too many stories about the tension between the Red Sox and Cespedes for them to not be at least partially true. Besides, he is only under team control for one more year so moving him now would actually be a strategically-smart move to make if you can get a decent return.

I literally had to get up from my desk because I was laughing so hard.
Me-"Red Sox need two starters, a 3B and a C"
Dirt-"idiot retard homer"
Yam-"red sox need two starters, a 3B and a C"
Dirt-"this is what an objective fan says, well done"
Ox-"I agree wih Dirt"
The super awesome about this? That is exactly what happened.
Still laughing

"they just need two starting pitchers and they are set" you said this actually. Assuming they can bring in two legit starting pitchers Boston is very well set up for next season. Read more: sportschatter.co/thread/720/habs-over-bills-trout-kershaw?page=1#ixzz3J43SICTLi said they arent "very well set", and i also pointed out it isnt THAT easy to just go and get two front end pitchers. so what we said was VERY different. dirt will accept your apology now im sure. |

"haven't added a piece" Ox, Yam, help Dirt out here... cespedes i like, but if they are smart they move him like they did lester, unless he is willing to re-sign somewhat cheap (which he wont). craig, im personally not a fan. i have a bad feeling the cards know somethign the sox didnt when they moved him and he becomes a waste of space. also, where does he play if napoli is on first? kelly, a nice 3-4, not a 2. castillo, total wild card. he continues like he did in 2013, he's a very solid addition. he drops off, he is another JBJ at the plate and nothing special in the field. betts, already a bad sign when youre taking a stud at one position and moving him to another. he did hit 291 last year when the team was in "scout for 2015" mode, so at least his bat helps them. |

kelly isnt bad. he did decent last year. craig, i just have a BAD feeling about him not getting back to 2013 and earlier form. |
