If Vargas is an above average starting infielder over the next five years, then this will have been a pretty good trade, in my opinion. Don’t really know how good Vargas is, so it’s hard to say at this juncture. Looking at the secondary pieces, their rankings are pretty disappointing, but at least they are high OBP type guys and I suspect Perez may be currently underrated. Getz has obviously put an emphasis on acquiring prospects with advanced on base skills at their age, which is good

Somebody’s got to lose them

I just want to point out I predicted Kopech as a member of the Dodgers’ rotation by 2026 on a couple occasions a few months ago. Not sure how to search the forum in order to prove it, but I hope it is duly noted nonetheless

Yeah but he was a top 40 prospect last year, and he’s had over .400 OBP each of last three years in minors. What bothers me is that he has hair on one side of his head but not the other, in his baseball ref pic. I mean, what the H?

Yeah it seems like there should be a prospect coming from the cardinals. Are we sure we have the final trade info

Sox lineup going to expose Woo as a bunch of woo today. His low walk rate will be of no use, since every average pitcher can put up a low walk rate against the Sox. Woo doesn’t make it out of the fourth. Dejong bombs and Sheets eats Woo’s dinner

Sacks just filling up with Seaman tonight, boys

The upside is greater with Robert but I’d rather put my money on Arozarena actually producing over 150 games a year, so it kind of evens out in my mind. This is somewhat concerning return relative to Robert imo. Hopefully if Getz doesn’t get an A/A- return, he just holds. Don’t get why Rays even made this move

That seems like a very light return. Arozarena hasn’t exactly been tearing it up this year, but he’s still been well above average overall the last few years with 2 more years of control

Not sure how McGwire was a failure as a hitting coach

I think Fedde might be able to command a better prospect than either of those guys, given that there are nine teams within 1 game of the WC or better in the NL and seven in AL, plus the Mariners and possibly Rangers in contention for Western division. So at least 18 teams possibly in market.There’s not enough Fedde caliber starting pitchers to go around considering the numbers of inferior ones on those teams. A package of B prospects would be ok, but given the budget value of his deal in a seller’s market, just hope sox really maximize this trade. Probably need to trade Crochet first to do that, so teams can’t use Fedde as a fall back position anymore

Because they currently have Christian Pache and Weston Wilson on the roster

I’d rather just eat Benintendi for three years than drive down the return. Sox have to knock any trade of Crochet, Robert or Fedde if not out of the park, at least into the gap

Hopefully, because a Jones headliner isn’t worth either of them

Pretty sure he’d still be the manager of the Guardians if he were interested in managing

Me neither

No clue what you’re talking about

Same thing they said about TA

The only chance? This is the Sox we’re talking about here

I honestly thought back in december that there was no way Sheets would be on the OD roster

It’s hard to dislike a guy named Chuck. Let’s see if this holds true

This team didn’t tank though. It crashed and burned. They were supposed to be good the last couple years, remember?

Bonemer seems like a good pick to me, except the last high school bat they successfully developed was probably Harold Baines so kind of hard to get excited there

Well we’re going to see plenty of roster churning moves like this over the next year plus, just like we have all year long. Borderline AAAA vets added and spit out. Not sure why this sticking out from any of the other moves. Sox obviously moving more of them over the next couple weeks. Not sure the point of clenching the teeth over them is

Well, yeah probably not. You never know though
