www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28828980/red-sox-pitcher-chris-sale-undergoes-mri-sore-elbowSo on top of the Mookie trade, the Cora firing mutual parting of ways and the endless MLB investigation now Chris Sale has to undergo an MRI after only ONE BP session and could be looking at Tommy John which could put him on the shelf well into 2021. Meanwhile the Red Sox starting rotation will now consist of Eduardo Rodriguez, future DL stint Nathan Evoaldi, #5 starter Martin Perez, Sully the peanut vendor and Erick Rowan's pet spider. At the rate this season is going I'd expect it to be raining frogs in Fenway by Memorial Day.

Look at the bright side, a f***ed season can add in the development Getting something decent for JD as well and all of a sudden the farm is starting to build

IIRC, the developmental system in Boston is decimated thanks to Dombrowski (shocker I know). Might be best to just treat this season as a lost cause and focus on rebuilding the farm.

Dombrowski did indeed kill the farm but it was for a pursuit of the title which they got so Boston has to live with that trade off. The problem is they thought the rise would last at least 3-4 seasons and not one season and everything goes to shit But yeah, best bet is to just try to rebuild through trades and draft. Yankees were only able to rebuild their farm thanks to those big trades of Miller and Chapman but they had decent names already in the wings on top of a top prospect in Gary Sanchez who basically was groomed to be the future starter since Russell Martin was there

And it's paid off for the Yankees. With Dombrowski, the funny thing is, the guy has shown he can build damn good farm systems, and has an eye for young talent. Look at what he did in Montreal, Florida (a whole lot of that 2003 team was guys that Dombrowski got when they were young), and Detroit. If you want a win now mode, it's gonna be a trade off. Dombrowski's shown he can build you a farm system that will give you a contender for years.

IIRC, the developmental system in Boston is decimated thanks to Dombrowski (shocker I know). Might be best to just treat this season as a lost cause and focus on rebuilding the farm. I've been saying this since the disastrous Mookie Betts trade last month: the Red Sox, even with Chris Sale, were not good enough to be a playoff contender but not bad enough to be in position to totally rebuild. They were stuck in that 80- to 84-win territory that gets you nowhere in Major League Baseball. But now, with Chris Sale likely scrapped for the season, the Red Sox are at best a 75-win team, and this should absolutely accelerate the rebuilding process. Anyone who isn't Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers, and Andrew Benintendi should be on the trade market. The Red Sox need to rip this thing down to the studs and totally rebuild, because they have a below-average Major League roster and one of the very worst farm systems in the league, while their chief competition - the Yankees - are primed to run roughshod over the division for the next two or three years. Unfortunately, there's two people that give me pause when thinking about a total rebuild: John Henry and Chaim Bloom. Henry won't allow the Red Sox to ever go into a total rebuild because that will cost him money in ticket sales and television ratings. He'd rather live under the misguided notion that a .500 team is still a contender in July and August rather than concede and move on to next year. As for Bloom, I know he's only made one trade so far, but holy crap did he ever swing and miss. The Mookie Betts trade isn't a month old and it's already looking like one of the worst fleecings in recent memory. So I have little faith that he'd be able to trade a guy like J.D. Martinez or Jackie Bradley Jr. or anyone else really for anything resembling a competent player.

Good for the Brewers keeping their star on a mega-deal.

Thanks Astros...as if I wasn’t tired enough of hearing Pete Rose’s bullshit let’s go for another round. I’m surprised the man can still breathe with his head so far up his ass.

Yea, at this point Pete should probably accept he's not going to see the HOF while he is alive He just needs to accept that it was his own fault. Lied and denied it for over a decade. Then he fessed up just to push books and still lied about not gambling as a player although MLB had damning evidence that says otherwise. But it’s never Pete’s fault. The Astros at least fessed up in a half assed way...something Rose didn’t do until like 13 years after he was busted.

MLB is trying not to postpone games or play in empty stadiums, and they still have two weeks before having to make a decision, but I’d be shocked if the season starts on time at this rate.

Yankees were a bit hush on Gary being sick but he tested positive for the Flu and they did not test him for the virus
