I thought you were being facetious but just looked it up. They literally paid some college kids $500 bucks each. That’s just straight up shitty of them. Would it kill you to give them 10k each, let em take their family to a nice dinner and buy some new clothes or whatever?

He got more money than Thome.

Who they said was contingency in the event they couldn’t sign someone else.

Those are my two favorite picks this class. Weingartner's hit tool might not get there but the upside is immense.

Who are the 6 players ahead of him?

That's insane. Kind of surprising. Not an all-star tho. It'll be amusing when Mune beats him out.

From a Sox perspective, Freddy Peralta would be the perfect pickup but such a huge market for him. He's got an unusually high era for him at 4.66 but is under contract for just 1 year at $8m. Sox wouldn't have to hold or pay him in a possible shutdown in 2027. 4.66 isn't all that bad and could improve with a change of scenery and a better pitching coach & manager and Sox clubhouse. Not sure if the Mets want to do business with Getz anymore though. lol But, can Fedde hold up as a starter the rest of the year? He seems like a perfect long reliever. Love his style and attitude but his arm might not be good enough down the stretch.

So everyone except the 20th rounder. Thats quick work.

I don't think the Sox need to trade for a reliever (the pen has sharpened up nicely; Sandlin and/or others can handle any further needs), but if we were to trade, I like Huascar Brazoban from the Mets. He's 36, but doesn't have "high mileage" throwing barely 550 professional innings. Contrast that with teammate Luke Weaver who is 32 but has 1300 professional innings. Considering Weaver's in the midst of a career (albeit great) season, Brazoban would be much cheaper. Not that concerned with "control" for a middle reliever, but Brazoban is controlled through 2029 (unfortunate for him; old friend Tanner Banks had a similar fate).

Jerry probably bites as it saves him on next year

Feels like the number should be six assuming Volchko got a little bit above slot. We already know 11th rounder HS arm meets the critiera.

Like how they brought in several undrafted pitchers too. Maybe one of them turns into something.

That’s almost Blake Larson money.

The biggest “no thanks” of all time.

Giants radio producer caught on hot mic saying Posey sucks...😬

That's the idea - get him on the IL and bring up Bonemer (or someone).

Quick work, though the actual bonuses aren't listed beyond Roch

Well that was easy. No Fennell as they communicated. He was a fallback option.
