This - they use to address obp big time.

Women's World Cup
They just don't look like they have it. They have individual talent but the passing and spacing is just awful. Team isn't a team.

Lynn and Kelly to LAD for Trayce Thompson, RHSP Nick Nastrini and RHRP Jordan Leasure
I hope Sox hire from Rays org. Get someone who has done it with limited budget who can show Jr how those investments can help him keep costs down and make profits while actually having better teams.

Fire Rick Hahn
Jared Walsh designated for assignment. He has been dealing with serious health issues - but when he was last healthy he was a real good player - and a left handed bat - something Sox could use.

Graveman to Astros for C Korey Lee
I tend to agree. I was a skeptic but the speed of the moves feels like classic Kenny.

This trade is real good - like it a lot. Like a lot. These are live arms.

That is what I thought too.

Graveman to Astros for C Korey Lee
Seems like a type of guy with high upside - with right development team. Sox aren’t it - but I still can’t argue what they got. He has some tools. Graverman was valuable though - he is a solid reliever and a good get for Houston.

Giolito & Reynaldo to LAA. Update: Angels put on waivers
This - I don't want Hahn here and they better not be here past this season - but just not trading Gio and getting a comp pick - that would have been a far bigger mistake.

Giolito & Reynaldo to LAA. Update: Angels put on waivers
I just hope they sign some one year guys to prove it deals hoping they can flip them. Spend the money on ST deals and hope you can than churn something for assets to help. Most important - need full organizational cleans this off-season. I get it - if you canned everyone now you'd have no front office to make any of the moves - so while I wish we made the move 2 months ago and had others around - I just have to live with at this point - not much you can do here. Hahn wasn't awful though at seller(s) trades - its probably one thing he did decently to be honest. It is the team BUILDING and Drafting and Developing that he is awful at. But if they actually are given another chance at next year - man that may be the final straw haha.

Giolito & Reynaldo to LAA. Update: Angels put on waivers
I have no issue with this - I also like them getting to work now. They have a lot of players to move and I don’t mind pulling a chip here now - Angels wanted to move fast too - so they were aggressive. Seems fair. Don’t love the players but both seem like legit prospects - but paired with Sox dev team….uh oh. Still - this allows you to have a few more days to move another 5-7 players and on the next waves they are going to have to dig deep on their scouting etc - cause the blue chippers aren’t coming.

Jenkins had some bumps last training camp before having a great season. Bears clearly used those to set/make a hard line stance with Teven around expectations etc. Those seem to be paying off…maybe this is the same with Claypool. Hopefully a year from now we are talking about him coming off a killer season and a strong offseason of work.

I like low scoring losses where TA gets hits. Boost his trade value and pitchers trade value and let’s keep losing to twins. Force change.

Nice to have World Cup on. Game times are pretty solid too - at least as a West coaster.

Hopefully Ayo can see big growth after suffering sophomore slump. If he doesn’t - we just three 7M down drain cause last years performance was not worth 7M.

2023 MLB Draft thread
Wow - I am surprised it is that much for baseball. That is a big deal. Getting a scholarship plus low 6 figures to play ball and than potentially get drafted. It isn't like 4th/5th rounders get that much.

They call it a 14 - named after Paulie!

I actually don’t mind if Bulls flipped Lavine for young guys and picks and than gave Derozan a 2yr extension or something. Let Derozan and Vuc be good vets around young players - and than add and build and than star up. That is actually what I would probably do at this point. Maybe Blazers give us their top pick plus Simmons for Lavine and their pick and Ayo. No idea why - but help facilitate Dame deal or add 4th team in mix such as Philly who I think would be stellar fit for Lavine. I will point out though - as flawed as Lavine is as the alpha dog - he is a freaking super efficient scorer who crushed it 2nd half of season and given all these recent contracts his 40M don’t look too bad.
