Just naming names. Honestly, they are in last place in their division and probably should be thinking about rebuilding so you would think they would be asking for prospects. Asking for MLB ready arms seems kind of ridiculous! Edited July 8, 2021 by maloney.adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe 5 years of Crochet > 1.5 years of Gallo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean it's a mistake to say that, just a reality. It's an adage that you don't need an all-star at every position. It's crazy that if we were to trade for a Gallo/Marte in RF, when healthy we would literally have all-star talent at every position (granted you have to squint a bit with Madrigal). Honestly, has that ever even happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every team aims high to see who bites and then works down from there. Gallo is Big commodity. All Star, Power, GG and he is getting hot at about the right time.

All Star, Power, GG and he is getting hot at about the right time. after looking more at his stats Gallo and underlying components I think I misjudged Gallo. The Sox would def be buying high, but he's also in his absolute prime as a player and looks to have made a true talent jump into a 4-5 WAR player where before he was maybe 3. I'm not sure how anything other than starting with Cease gets it done, and that would create a hole in the rotation while filling RF. Don't think you can rely on Kopech to just step in. He has the kid gloves on and it's for his own good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have one of my favorites: Quote Hawk: One of the finest games I ever had the privilege of watching through my career was watching Freddy Garcia vs Santana last year, when Freddy threw a one-hitter and lost to the Twins 1-0.
