@howeda7 beat me to it. I turn on game to watch a low and away pitch to Sano and he stands over it and heads to dugout. So so tired of this. Please stop the experiment.

6M$ man doctors about Sano:   "We have the technology, we can rebuild him".

Another Doctor:  " And waste another 7 years and millions of dollars"?

Another Doctor: " We could trade him to the Yankees, where he will flourish".

I guess showing your age is one of those things that just seems to happen one day.  Almost seems in some cases to happen overnight.  But, Cruz had such a good start, despite missing some games, that it's hard to believe just 4 weeks later it's time to cut bait.

There were signs last year. After September 8th, he hit .154 and OPS'd .523 with 1 HR. He was great in April though.

Cruz has an OPS under .700 for the month of May with three homers and six RBI despite hitting #3 or #4.  Yes, he’ll hit better because he’s got a great approach and he’s smart, but I’m thinking he’s starting to decline.

Cruz was all world for the first 30 games last year and very pedestrian in the last 30 games.

Don't you mean Boston?

It doesn't help that the ump just gave a couple inches off the outside corner.

I will say that Garver has appeared to make the necessary adjustments.  Perhaps next season they move him to 1st, and let the young guys catch.

Kierloff is the long-term 1B.

Garver and Kiriloff could split duties at 1b, with Kiriloff getting the majority of the reps, and Garver and Kiriloff could also swap L/R DH duties.  Ohh wait, Sano..LOL!

Who are you so eager to have catch? Jeffers?
