Boston will be back. They got some younger pieces overall. Mookie wasn't gonna resign with them so they had to get rid of him. For worst trades ever, always look to whatever the fuck the Pirates did. Especially the Chris Archer trade.

how they KNOW he wasn't gonna resign?
cause they were NOT going to PAY him
Look at how much Boston paid those TRASH pitchers?
they going CHEAP on a GENERATIONAL Talent!
a BLACK TALENT too?
If as an organization you don't feel as though that player will resign with you then you MUST get some type of value for him. I'm assuming from talking with his agent they weren't feeling good about the chances. He may have wanted a change of scenery. He knew he could get paid elsewhere. I'd probably wanna live in L.A. over Boston too if you think about it. If thats the case I can't blame Boston for trading him. I just can't.
Wow.....lol

L.A.'s Turner tests positive, pulled from Game 6
Dodgers 3B Justin Turner tested positive for COVID-19 and was pulled from L.A.'s World Series-clinching win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night in Arlington, Texas.
Man dem muthafuckas wilin' havin him out there like that.
As,usual Coon Smith talking about he have no problem with it.Every since,this fucking pandemic started he acts like it's no big deal..
Anyone,that has a concern needs to shut the fuck up and play....lol
How the f*ck Mookie not MVP?!?
As a Yankees fan I'm good with this outcome
Damn, I didn't know that the World Series or Stanley Cup finals were going on. Nobody's been talking about it, just like the NBA/WNBA. I would have been watching it if I knew about it. Barely any advertising.
Guess there's way too much going on in the world today. Everybody's just trying to get through the day without getting sick, and an election's coming that could change the course of history.
I hope we can get back to some semblance of normal soon. These aren't fun times.

Its putting Anderson in that was the death blow
Me personally, i wouldn’t be around that piece of shit. They could’ve photoshopped him in. But they won the title so you know how that goes (if you’ve ever won a sports title).
should’ve worn a hazmat.
Man dem muthafuckas wilin' havin him out there like that.
Baseball Pass/Fail: M.L.B. Says Justin Turner Refused to Stay Off Field After Dodgers’ Win
M.L.B. Says Justin Turner Refused to Stay Off Field After Dodgers’ Win “Turner’s decision to leave isolation and enter the field was wrong and put everyone he came in contact with at risk,” the league said in a statement. Justin Turner, center with beard, took off his mask for a post-game team...

As,usually Coon Smith being a fucking idiot....
Man the Whitesox dun lost their mind hiring Tony La Russa.
Man the Whitesox dun lost their mind hiring Tony La Russa.
As a lifelong White Sox fan, it hurts me to agree with you. La Russa is very close friends with the owner, Jerry Reinsdorf. That's what had to have happened here, although it still makes no sense at all.
He's gonna be an absolute pain in the ass in the clubhouse
that is a trump supporting anti kaepernick old white man
He gonna F*CK em that young talented squad over there.
La Russa is the absolute last thing those kids need. I remember La Russa's first go-round with the White Sox as a green, inexperienced manager, and he was no fun then. I predict it won't take long for him and Tim Anderson to lock horns next spring. I really thought they would go after Alex Cora, especially since there is a family connection with his older brother Joey having been with the White Sox for years as a player and as Ozzie Guillen's right hand man when he was manager. But, it's the typical dumb White Sox move.
World Series TV ratings 32% down on previous low
MLB’s 2020 title decider averages 9.78m viewers across six games.

The six games aired by US broadcast partner Fox averaged a 5.2 rating, 12 share and 9.78 million viewers, according to Nielsen figures. The previous low was a 7.6 rating, 12 share and 12.66 million viewers for the San Francisco Giants’ four-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers in 2012.
This year’s rating was 36 per cent down on the average 14.06 million who tuned in for the Washington Nationals’ seven-game win over the Houston Astros last year.
Game six of the 2020 series, which saw the Dodgers clinch the title, peaked at 14.35 million viewers, with an average of 12.62 million viewers and a 15 per cent audience share. That is down from a 19 per cent share and average of 16.5 million viewers for Washington’s 7-2 win in the equivalent game last year.
Fox said when Spanish-language coverage on Fox Deportes and streaming platforms were included, game six averaged 13.21 million viewers.
The deciding game of the 2019 World Series average scored a 25 per cent audience share and an average of 23.2 million viewers.
In Los Angeles, the title clincher drew the highest audience share (48 per cent) since the Dodgers’ game seven loss to the Houston in the 2017 World Series scored a 56 per cent share. Game six drew an 33 per cent audience share in Tampa, the highest for the Rays since the fifth and final game of the 2008 World Series against Philadelphia Phillies brought in a 42 per cent share.
This year’s World Series averaged a 21.2 rating and 40 per cent share in Los Angeles, and a 15.2 rating and 29 per cent share in Tampa.
Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as competition with the US presidential elections and other major league broadcasts, live ratings have been lower for several sports this autumn.

GM Brodie Van Wagenen among those leaving New York Mets after sale to Steve Cohen

The moves were announced less than an hour after hedge fund manager Steve Cohen completed his $2.4 billion purchase of the team.
Special assistant to the general manager Omar Minaya, assistant general managers Allard Baird and Adam Guttridge and executive director of player development Jared Banner also are leaving. The status of senior vice president and senior strategy officer John Ricco was not mentioned.
EDITOR'S PICKS
Alderson, not Cohen, announced the baseball staff departures and said he had started the process of building a leadership staff.
"I want to thank Brodie, Allard, Adam and Jared for their contributions over the last two years," he said in a statement. "I especially want to thank Omar for his long and distinguished service to the Mets in many important capacities."
Van Wagenen was a player agent and co-head of CAA Baseball before Wilpon hired him to replace Alderson after the 2018 season. The Mets went 86-76, finishing third in the NL East, and Van Wagenen fired manager Mickey Callaway and replaced him with Carlos Beltran.
But when Beltran was implicated in January by commissioner Rob Manfred in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal during Beltran's final season as a player in 2017, he lost his job within days without managing a game and was replaced by quality control coach Luis Rojas.
New York went 26-34 and missed the expanded playoffs in the shortened 2020 season.
Many of Van Wagenen's moves failed to work out, including acquiring second baseman Robinson Cano and signing free agents Todd Frazier and Jed Lowrie. All three were among his former clients.
Van Wagenen congratulated Fred Wilpon for "an intelligence and love that made all of us feel that we were a part of his family'' and Jeff Wilpon for an "incredible opportunity and the unwavering support'' and for "unrivaled work ethic and sacrifice'' to create Citi Field, which opened in 2009.
"We took a team that had suffered losing seasons in 2017 and 2018 to contention in 2019 and onto a chance for real success in 2020 prior to the pandemic,'' Van Wagenen said in a statement that thanked staff, players and fans. "While we didn't reach our goal in 2020, the work that you put in to keep everyone safe and healthy in the midst of the COVID-19 threat played a significant role in the return of and the successful completion of the Major League Baseball season.''
Friday's moves make Rojas' future uncertain. Fired Astros GM Jeff Luhnow, who completed a season-long suspension last week, could be a candidate for the analytics-oriented Cohen.
