Does JD Martinez play in the field anymore?
I’m saying I don’t think they gave anything up. I think this was basically a DFA-for-DFA scenario.
That's three down - Benintendi, Peralta, and Pham. Who's next?
Kinda of a bizarre move for the Sox, huh?
I get it. Just don't want Adrianza at all. Much less having to give up something other than cash to get him (even if Harris was likely gonna be cut soon).
Red Sox for Pham per Passan.

That's twice AA has missed getting Pham.
I'm sure he has another OFer up his sleeve.
Pham isn't very popular as a teammate. I imagine the Joc/Pham situation may also play a factor. Joc was a clubhouse darling here and some of the guys didn't seem too shy about voicing their opinion about the slap incident this year.
I didn't realize all this. If he's really the MLB equivalent of the twats that post like drunk angry ignoramuses on this board then he's not talented enough to deal with.
I'm curious to see what happens with Conforto. He will only be allowed to hit if he comes back this year, but he has "short term prove it deal" written all over him...and we know AA loves those types of contracts.
He could sign as a bat this year with some sort of reasonable option for next year. That could help the DH spot now and fill LF in 2023 with a low cost, high upside option. I would gamble on him this year if it meant I got him for next year too. I would gamble on him this year anyways actually.
