It's hard to imagine the Sox couldn't have matched that offer rather easily without affecting our immediate future. Matthew Thompson would be the easy comparable to Brennan Malone in that deal. It's harder to find a good young SS in the Sox system, but considering the Pirates desperate need at catcher, I feel like Thompson, Collins, and maybe a Bryce Bush could have been enough? Or swap out Bush for Bailey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm actually OKAY with the Sox not mortaging more future assests for 2 years of Marte. He's a really good player, but shedding another wave of players for that is on the downside for me. I don't think the Sox will overtake the Twins this season and I don't think they will win enough to be a WC. In my mind, you are only getting 1 year of control of Marte at that point for pieces that could be impactful in 3 or so years when we are actually competing.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Trading 2 low level players is not mortgaging the future. They're gonna be drafting 40 more of them in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be your starting RF making your defense better and your backup CF so you wouldn't really need Engel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Apparently the Astros are hiring Dusty Baker. So it'd be hard to say losing their GM didn't cause any internal change.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm much more interested in who they hire as GM. That will show the direction of the organization. Bobby Evans would be a great hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 The Red Sox just DFA’ed their #26 prospect SP Denyi Reyes to make room for the re-signing of Mitch Moreland. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=198829 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-offseason-winners Not sure if this is always a good thing for Sox based on similar “titles,” but we’ll take it for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I was not even happy to see Luis Robert sporting the Puig styled dyed hair at Sox Fest. Hopefully Robert does not borrow anything else from Puig, like his attitude.

You’re linking his hair style to potential attitude problems?

Hey, present company excluded. I'm old, but I'm not "whiny," nor bad-tempered. All of these very young multi-millionaires are prone to ill-advised behaviour. Awarding tens of millions of dollars to young men, in their early 20's, in our current social culture, what could possibly go wrong? Hopefully, Abreu will provide some positive role model suggestions, minus the tobacco chewing. At any rate, I'm glad that Puig was not added to this likeable group of players.

You turned an innocuous light spirited comment about a player's hair dye into a vengeful; personal attack against a poster. Instead of responding in kind I will simply ignore any future comments by you. Fine by me if you do the same. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
