Joe West suspended three games for calling Adrian Beltre MLB’s ‘biggest complainer’

Joe West getting suspended is long deserved. I’m not shedding a tear on this.

David Price gets ‘best-case scenario’ after second opinion; No surgery, will be shut down 7-10 days

This was worrisome. It still feels like we’re going to have a scenario where he needs some kind of “fix” before the end of the contract.

Dombrowski Ain’t F#$king Around: Sox Sign Sale, Thornburg, Moreland

I haven’t had time to fully process this. Losing Moncado feels like a blow, but Sale might be worth it? Dombrowski’s reputation, however, makes it feel like another “giving up too much of the future” to win *now* move.

Red Sox express disappointment in A.J. Preller’s punishment

The punishment is ridiculous for what he did. The Red Sox should be given the change to provide a lower quality prospect as a result of this fraud.

Mariners trade for Red Sox left-hander Wade Miley

The Red Sox get Carson Smith and left-hander Roenis Elias. Aaron Gleeman at Hardball Talk says the following about Smith and Elias:

> Smith has quietly been one of the best setup men in baseball for the past two seasons, throwing 78 innings with a 2.07 ERA and 102/25 K/BB ratio. He’s another huge upgrade to a Boston bullpen that also added Craig Kimbrel to holdover Koji Uehara. Elias is a potentially useful 27-year-old starter, so the Red Sox seemingly did pretty well here.

Hanley Ramirez says he’s ready for life as Red Sox first baseman

It’s so hard to believe Ramirez is really some kind of “clubhouse cancer”, when he always seems to be doing and saying the right thing. I really hope the transition to first base works out for him (and the Sox.)
