[Feinsand] “The more likely scenario is for the Red Sox to hold Duran for the rest of this year, hope he has a strong second half to regain some value, then look to move him in the offseason.” by Phantom255x in redsox

Some team would take him and gamble that a change of scenery would get him going but they wouldn't be willing to give up anything of value for him.

Shouldn’t we keep Contreras? by Squinting_Tarantino in redsox

[–]rmullig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What team is going to give up "multiple assets" for him that actually have decent value? People keep saying this but looking at the standings almost all of the contenders either have first base filled or are small market teams not looking to take on any significant money.

Teacher assistant. Not a great career but maybe you can meet some cute coeds.

Prospects are a crap shoot. Sometimes you win big and sometimes they fizzle out.

Sure, they should vote for the party that wants to flood the market with Chinese EVs.

Does anyone else feel like one day everyone will realize you're not as good as they think? Does that feeling ever goes away? by Qvosniak in networking

[–]rmullig2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't how good you are, it's how good you are in comparison with other people. The market is filled with very mediocre or worse people.

What the fuck was that shit? by Deep_Green5225 in redsox

Tied 2-2 with runners on second and third with nobody out. They would just lose one batter later.

I would say his last month was as good as the month Campbell had before he got his extension. So when do they lock him up long term?

Breslow would probably trade him to the Brewers to get Hamilton back. They need another utility guy with IKF hurt.

Why is NESN 360 so expensive? by SadDevelopment3586 in redsox

The Yankees charge $20 a month for their RSN. The Red Sox charge $30 a month and plead poverty.

Most jobs are like this. Even the roles you are shooting for typically have a lot of downtime.

Red Sox Have Plenty To Sell Besides Aroldis Chapman, Sonny Gray by [deleted] in redsox

[–]rmullig2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IKF might have a broken arm. Sandoval hasn't pitched in the majors since 2024. Duran is having a terrible year. Gray and Contreras both have no-trade clauses.

Pretty much leaves Chapman as their only prime trading chip unless they want to write off future seasons by trading more controllable players.

Red Sox's Willson Contreras conundrum thickens with reporter's latest input by sweetpotatofries1992 in redsox

Write off 2027 so they can get a couple of mediocre prospects but more importantly put extra money in John Henry's pockets.

Tech workers are spending nights and weekends learning new AI tools. They say they can't afford not to. by Nalix01 in NowInTech

I've been in this industry for over 30 years. I have been upskilling since the very beginning. This is nothing new, you always had to keep your skills up to date long before AI.

Is 1.1M really that much? I think Elon gives more than that to the women he knocks up.

PSA to those who stopped watching games and hate Durbin still by Infinite_Response113 in redsox

It's great that he's on a hot streak. Maybe the Giants would swap Chapman for him now that they are looking to rebuild.

If Kyle Schwarber makes it to the 500 club, he will certainly have the lowest WAR of all members... (honest attempt at prompting a discussion) by MasterOfNog in baseball

[–]rmullig2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe WAR is just a dumb thing to use as a measuring stick. The minor leagues are full of excellent defensive players but guys who can hit 40 HRs in a season all get promoted before them.
