So far, as other teams make deals and sign free agents, #RedSox Baseball Boss Breslow is talking, as he did at least year's trade deadline, about how hard it is to make deals.

The entire point of everything I write is to keep Derrick White in Boston.
Trade Machine says this is the winner; Simmons +D White for Trae Young +Pels unprotected 2026 Pick in loaded draft. Young has player option 2026 year so an opt out sign and trade is available. Celtics stay in lux tax. Trae has career revival 2025-26. Celtics get into playoff make some noise.

Last year, the Red Sox went $8M over the CBT threshold. They could have spent $32M on top of that to reinforce the roster, with no other penalties besides a few million in taxes.

Right now, they could spend $80M, with no other penalties, if they wanted.

Not that much.
Look at how much this Dodgers fan has aged since this game began.

If you're #MLB, you cannot say you care about the integrity of the game and allow stuff like this.

I mean, what is going on? A missed ball four and a surprise pick-off in a World Series game, no less. Embarrassing.

Yeah, sounds like someone we used to know.
Horford is 39 years old, up to 26 minutes and is working on defense, hopping between Jokić, Gordon and Murray.

And he still had the legs to hit a corner 3.

Please say this louder for the people who think Derrick is a role player.
Since Derrick White became a Celtic...

...Boston is 202-70 (.743)

25 games better than anyone else.

25 games.

Outscoring teams by 2,548 points, no one else is within 1,000.

Making a difference

Thanks to Sean Grande

The Red Sox win, 7-4. Wild one that the Sox needed to avoid a sweep and four-game losing streak.
Aroldis Chapman records four strikeouts in one inning for the first time in his career.

Put Stanton at short. It will remind nostalgic Yankees fans of watching 2014 Jeter.
Very interested in seeing how weird this is going to get

Stanton's their 2nd best bat, so sitting him hurts, but you realllllly don't want to add him to an already leaky defense, and you can probably slow play it for a week or so, but then if Judge's elbow doesn't come around ...

bring the chaos
The Captain is back!

The Yankees activate Aaron Judge from the 10-day IL.

Maybe the Sox will have "Happy Gilmore 2 Night" at Fenway and you can get a special jersey. Stop your whining.

The Yankees, Astros, Mariners, Tigers, Blue Jays, etc. have all taken big steps to improve. Are the Red Sox still a team bent on winning (as they like to say) or just pretending to be?

We'll know soon.

The Red Sox have won 10 games in a row, are one game behind the Yankees, and have the hottest player in baseball. I hereby declare the All-Star break CANCELLED and the games will continue. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

(Wyc has been an absolute A+ as an owner.)
And they deserve credit for paying everyone and taking two runs at it, winning one, while knowing it would be brutal when the bills came due.
The Celtics got themselves under the second apron in wildly not-ideal circumstances, didn’t give up any picks and picked up two rotation players in the process. Pretty good work honestly.
