The trade that saved the White Sox franchise.

[Jordan Leandre @JordanLeandre55]

Am I tripping or is this a completely fine answer?

Says it was his decision and it didn't work, but it could've just as easily worked and we wouldn't be talking about it as if it were a bad call. That's literally exactly correct lol

The Boston Red Sox have not won a playoff game since Nick Pivetta left. Do with that what you will.

[Postseason Papi @FenwayAttendee]

Red Sox fans: this front office doesn’t care about keeping our good players 😡

Also Red Sox fans: let’s trade Wilyer Abreu☝️🤓

[Pedro Martinez @45PedroMartinez]

Rasmussen: I’ve seen great games but for this young man to do this to the Yankees? I enjoyed everything he did. How he located the fastball, the curveball, the slider, the cutter, the changeup… he was literally perfect! I’m really impressed!

[Hogdale @Hogdale_]

Its INDUBITABLY that time get the fuck in!

Truly one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on a baseball field.

@marchandsteve @Bergeron_MLB His WAR was closer to 6 this year was it not?

[Ed Hand @EdHand89]

Interesting thread.

[Bodybuilder Red Sox Fan @soxpumps]

I wanted to investigate whether the red sox offense was significantly better compared to the league in the middle of the season vs the beginning and end so I created a Python project that investigated this:

@PatioBack @MetaVR_Official Hot.

[Shawn Bergeron @Bergeron_MLB]

I find the calls to trade Wilyer Abreu silly.

He’s an above average hitter who plays elite defense in your uniquely challenging right field, and a key contributor to arguably your team’s biggest strength.

He’s more valuable to the Red Sox than anyone else. Just move him down in the lineup and he goes from someone you’re relying on to produce a huge chunk of your runs and disappointed in to a star role player.

[Tyler Milliken @tylermilliken_]

This is a movement.

@Mayor_Mojo We ran out of races.

[Ed Hand @EdHand89]

This is racist against people named Jake.

[Will Rochester @RedsoxContreras]

@jaketodonnell @sharpshel @masslivesports @Sean_McAdam @drivelinekyle Focus on your lawsuit with Jared Carrabis and section 10

[Ed Hand @EdHand89]

@JoeDeeV2 Defensively he was pretty good. Then they moved him to SS.

[Ed Hand @EdHand89]

Can't believe I was sober when I made this.

[Ed Hand @EdHand89]

I know this is more @JustinMLB's thing, but I made a tier list to help organize my thoughts on where the 2026 Red Sox current roster is at. Figured I would share.

Let me know what you think!
