This is really bad news for the Sox in the future. If T100 prospects are now untouchable then the Sox have no chance for a very long time.

I would assume so

Z-

Sorry, I'd rather have Hahn at least he knew how to sell. Getz is just a clueless idiot.

Can someone explain to me why they're still playing Sheets in RF and not giving Colas a look?

Yep. teams are hugging position prospects. It just is what it is. Those guys don't get moved anymore, and we're just going to have to adjust our expectations. Sox are going to have to draft and develop their way out of this, which is scary af.

it's also the PCL

Colas was like 85. I still don't know why they haven't given him a look at MLB this year. Find out something about the guy, jfc.

Now knowing that Vargas was a top 40 prospect going into last season, I'm not as pissed at this deal.

lmfao

Different sport, but I can't help but think of Kevin White.

You know, it is quite possible that baseball as a whole is prospect hugging and these are just the kind of guys available in trades now. It might be hard to hear after what we saw the Sox get for Sale/Q/Eaton in terms of prospect quality but it seems the industry has moved in a different direction. When was the last time a major haul got traded? Last one I can think of is Soto.

I have no words.

Probably because it was 10-0 3 days before the TDL

Pulling Robert in a 10-0 game with 3 days until the TDL is the smartest thing that the Sox have done in nearly two decades.

Eeexactly.

I posted the pnoles thing for a reason. I'm on the Robert is overrated and actually is just an avg MLB regular train.

I don't think either Robert or Crochet get moved now. I did think Crochet would get traded before this report, but not Robert.

Despite this DCINAA

I don't think anyone expected Robert to be this bad though.

He was 92-94 toward the end of the inning and his cutter went down to 87-89

Crochet's velo was way down in the 4th inning. Might scare off other teams.
