Good morning!
A few random thoughts while I wonder if the Red Sox have announced open closer tryouts yet...
- Celtics got their big man in Enes Kanter. Good scouting report by B-Robb. Really worried about his defense, which was a team issue last year. And I expect his outside shooting to pickup under Brad Stevens. Good offensive player.
- Nathan Eovaldi to the closer role? There are plenty of reasons not to like this move — and Sean lays them all out — but what option did the Red Sox really have considering their cap issues? (BTW, every single Boston team now has cap issues ... this is the price of success, and the fans will take it.)
- I'm going to go off the board and say that I like this move. This has to be an Alex Cora production because he needs to sell Eovaldi on it, but the guy has the stuff and makeup to be an excellent closer, and it will make the Sox better.
- Bruins are virtually paralyzed by their cap issues, and somebody has to be sent out. Who is it? Torey Krug has the most value. Too bad Peter Chiarelli isn't in the league anymore, he'd definitely take David Krejci.
- Excited for the US women in action later today. I wouldn't take the Lionesses lightly. But the US is just too good.
