He can still have an impact on this team as an optionable reliever. He’d probably not get above relief option any way on this year’s team and maybe that’s what best for him long term given his injury history. However, we do lose Burnes and Means after this season. Wells and Suarez are at least options to start next season.
It’s funny that we always make such a big deal about service time and getting the extra year, and avoiding super two, but oddly the players closest to FA are the ones struggling on our team other than Burnes. Means, Santa, Hays, and Mullins.
If Mayo can play some 3B/RF then there is a role for him on this team to replace McKenna. When Hays is ready to come back we can reevaluate things to see who would go.
I’d like to see Mayo’s bat vs the LHP the next two games in the small park.
Definitely gotta respect Irvin. He seems like a guy that is willing to do whatever to win. This isn’t the first dominant stretch of his career. He was leading the AL in ERA at the all star break in 2022.
According to the MLB standings, The Red Sox are only 6-12 against teams that are better than .500.
Shockingly (I know this is about the AL East), but the maybe the AL East isn't presently the beast it usually is. The Central which has been lousy for a while appears to be much stronger. All but one team are over .500. Big change.
Yep, Holliday is still scuffling a bit. Mayo is going to have to kick down the door for him to push Westburg. There have got to be teams out there looking to poach Norby. Can’t imagine he is still here at the deadline.
He is one of my favorite guys on the team. So happy for him. He didn’t moan when he got sent down last year. He was grinding over the winter to get better and is working with someone on the mental side. Just a great story and now a guy that has forced his way into the rotation.
