They definitely are, haha. They be STROKIN’!

Agreed. Reds especially.

On the prowl? Clay Holmes and La Pantera to the Sox confirmed. “RAAARRRRRRRrrrrrrr…”

Sucks cuz it automatically raises the price for Stephenson.

I don’t mean to rain on your parade but Ray Ray already called this out. Take a look at his home/away splits, especially when he was actually able to hit prior to the past two seasons. He is the very definition of a “Coors-made” hitting threat. He has hit worse than Timo Perez away from Coors in his career. It’s nice that he can hit an occasional homerun but I see a career .573 OPS on the road. That’s mind-blowingly awful.

Need a decent catcher trade to drop that ugly Doyle trade down from the top of the forum so I don’t have to see it again. 🤣

Yep, I added that to my post.

I believe he was rated as high as #8 in the Sox system by MLB Pipeline, but I believe that was before the draft. Looks like he is slotted at #19 in the Rockies system now.

This really means nothing after the fact or in the grand scheme of things. Boston Smith turned himself into a top 15 prospect in one season of AA ball.

#4 (Mendez) and #9 (Hernandez) Padres prospects.

Reds just waiting for some team to flinch and overpay for Stephenson with all the suitors for a catcher.

I don’t think anyone thinks that. They are on the hook for the prorated amount for this year and the entirety of his contract for next year. I read that it is $30 million. Including Seranthony and his money will obviously offset some of that remaining $30 million owed this year and next.

Do we want him for that long if he forgot how to hit at Coors?

Ending the deadline on such a stinker of a trade would be sad. 🤣

Eh, I’m doubting they acquired a guy at the deadline with one of their bigger trade chips to send this guy to Charlotte. I think they are churning their other outfield depth in upcoming trades.

This would not surprise me at all. This covers their last two needs (whether you like Singer or not) and the Reds are definitely moving those guys. Sure seems like the Sox want to move Wolkow.

Every hour is beer o’clock.

I don’t understand this thought. Why couldn’t he have been called up to help this year’s team?

The Brazoban deal was great. He overpaid for Castillo a bit in that he should’ve gotten back some more cash relief for Castillo’s contract next year outside of Seranthony’s money, but still not the end of the world. But this trade is grade A manure. 💩

My question is, why does he think a player is worth obtaining that has had two straight bad offensive years at the hitting Mecca known as Coors?

Nope, I’d tell you that you are clueless to your face. No problem. Honesty is the best policy.

Because he’s right, and you need to be told the truth. Go back and read your own posts and you will figure it out.

You said yourself that this trade is an overpay, which is truly an understatement, so why are you questioning any of the majority of posters that think this trade blows? You are quite a weird one.

Maybe Peters slipped in the shower and broke a toe or something? This just doesn’t make sense, even with Peters’ decline. His decline still isn’t as bad as Doyle’s past two seasons. Brutal.

Some people were worried about trading the strikeout king Wolkow. I would have preferred to trade him all day over Adams.
