    It very well could be that the parameters of a deal had been worked out.  It was a busy time, Hahn could have been on the phone with some other club and she may have called saying yes we will do the deal.  Or Hahn could have been locked in a closet.  I don't think if Hahn was completely out of the loop, you keep sending him out to the press.  Think stuff would have leaked more from other organizations also.

    Hahns gets #4/5/7/11 prospects out of Top 40 traded

    1) We shouldn't have been in this position.

    2) Due to how weak our farm system was, (caveat for it is only one ranking system, 2023 picks not included) the prospects we acquired according to MLB.com now make up our #2,4,5,7,14,27 and a low 30s prospects.

    3) It was a solid haul of prospects for what we gave up, our relative lack of leverage, and saved a fair bit of payroll.  

    4) Using some historical data, we should expect several of these players to get to the major leagues.  One or two may be reasonably solid players.  On one of the deadline broadcasts it was mentioned that over something like the last 15 years 574 prospects were traded.  3% became major impact (not sure what qualifies) and a bit over 10% became solid regulars (again don't know their criteria).  It dampens my enthusiasm but overall, we received some players closer to the majors and higher rated than what most other teams received so maybe somewhat better odds.

    He’s had the tear in the elbow since he was in Oakland, he let that out of the bag last year 

    I understand he has had a small partial  tear.  I haven't seen his last scan (or others) but if it is now totally torn or significantly progressed from before then it is different.  My point was going into the trade deadline , the front office knew he was out for all or virtually all of 2024.

    Is there a way to find the DSL and ACL games on the MiLB app? I see how you found it online but I can't find it in the app?

     

    Thanks!

    Don't use the app unless watching game on iPad.  Sorry not more help.  I think one of the links only began carrying those two leagues in the last year or so.

    How does the claim order work for subsequent players if we do claim someone? Meaning, do we stay the same place in the order for the next players, or are we dropped lower in the order as a result of having already claimed someone?

    I think each time it’s the same order but not positive.

    Shaw serves a purpose.  That purpose is to be an available arm until several of these teams who are gaining players and have to DFA some decent players/prospects, have to pass them through waivers.  If you can claim something better(hopefully) then he is DFA.  I could see the Sox trying to claim 3-4 players.  I believe claim order is inverse standings in your league then inverse standings in the other league.

    Just looking at the 40 man, if you remove all the folks gone after this trade deadline/year (Including declining the options on Kelly and Lynn), you're at 31. With even minimal clearing of guys like Haseley, Frazier, Padilla, and Peralta, you're at 27.  Then there's failed prospects like Sheets, Romy Gonzalez, and Carlos Perez (sorry, I like him too but he can't catch) you might be below 25.  Sox have a lot of warm bodies to acquire just to run a team out, let alone build a contender. 

    So do you take multiple rule 5 guys?  If you get a reliever or two and have a starting pitcher tryout camp?  UGGGGG but what have you got to lose especially if one hits as a major league average guy for a couple years.
