Yes Crochet will be worse because of addition of Beni's contract to suppress the return.

Yeah I want 2 of the Big 3. We'd be lucky to get 1 given how bad Getz is at negotiating. This is all for naught, they will take another weak package from LAD because of Beni.

The offer is prolly garbage because Elias is smelling blood in the water after the Fedde disaster. I bet Norby, Beavers for Crochet AND Banks. Dude is a shark circling his prey.

That would be horrible. A JAG and a 1B is an awful return and almost certainly means Beni is in the trade for salary relief (relief from fucking what? Our payroll is already extremely low next year) Need De Paula, Freeland, Ferris and Pages

If the reliever market is that seller friendly, they should be able to get some good pieces for Banks and Brebbia tomorrow.

We are all Aly now.

They really need to ace that trade after bombing on Fedde. Instead they'll get scrubs and Beni salary relief. Again

If u thought thus trade was bad....wait till Beni gets packaged with Crochet to water down the prospect return considerably.

So we traded Fedde AND Kopech for a right handed left fielder?

Why?

Then how come the Sox website posted the trade then? I hope you are right. How good is your source?

Something still needs to be coming back from STL. Still waiting for it...

It sucks so far unless we're missing a piece of the puzzle and according to Levine....maybe we are, not sure. Nothing has come from STL so far, only LAD which makes little sense.

Yeah that doesn't make a ton of sense.

Yeah that's underwhelming.

I doubt Vargas is the headliner if both Fedde and Kopech are in the trade.

Then the return should be solid.

Meh....Hopefully not the headliner

Freeland, Scott AND Walker would be great. I doubt we can get all that but it would be a strong return even if you throw in a reliever

If we got Freeland plus one of Scott/Walker that would be really good.

Yep I mentioned that earlier.....Getz values defense and speed and that's who I would expect from STL. If he got Walker and Scott out of it then you get both potentially a good bat if the former rediscovers himself and you get the CF replacement too and a guy who can run on the bases too. I doubt Getz could get both.

I would do this deal even though as people have said LAD isn't a great trade partner. I'd also do De Paula, Pages, Ferris and Freeland.

De Paula would be great in a three team trade......but he's worth more than Fedde so it's not happening.

I feel bad for ReyLo.....that sucks.

I hate to say it but this is the most probable outcome if he's actually traded. Crochet to LAD for scrubs and salary relief in the form of Beni. Maybe they'll send us Freeland as the centerpiece to help us save some face so Getz can say he got a middle infielder talent but the other pieces will be trash. And yes the board would implode. To paraphrase a former US president, " We are all Aly now"
