Cubs gonna trade for a big name pitcher it sounds like. Cease is a possibility.

Wouldn’t shock me at all if they sign Tanner Scott now and go after Alonso. Jed knows he’s gone if they don’t win the division.

Paredes was a horrible fit at Wrigley. I think they just wanted to trade Morel while he had value.

They do such an amazing job drafting, I don’t think losing Smith is a big deal.

Hopefully he won’t sign an extension, but I actually think he will. Bellinger to Yankees is next. Cubs are a real threat to get Roki according to a person with info.

I don’t believe that’s an actual insider

It’s going to happen, it will be Paredes and good prospects for Tucker and Pressly IMO

Yep, a strong first half next year and his stock explodes. If you’re not getting good offers right now for him, no reason to salary dump him.

I thought all reports were that Montgomery’s injury was not nearly as complex as that of Ventura’s or Mitchell’s.

Not available

Agreed, but through one year, it looks like a bad trade. Iriarte drastically needs to improve his control.

Lee’s not good, and his only plus tool is his throwing arm.

I remember how he looked like the worst starter on Oregon St in the CWS

Read somewhere that the Reds can’t afford Robert’s salary

One other thing to keep in mind with the catching duo is Quero is way, way better against LHP than RHP. Teel is way better against RHP. Should be a productive situation.

Quero is a tiny dude for a catcher and already had a back injury. Not getting Teel in the deal because of Quero’s existence would have been foolish. The Sox are so far away from trying to compete, they just need to keep stockpiling legit major leaguers

Easily, he’s 1 or 2

FWIW, I was told the Reds were gonna take Montgomery 2nd last year in the draft halfway through the season. I’m sure the injury didn’t help.

So this was our Super Bowl. See you next year at the Draft lottery

And the 11 and 14 prospects in their system could be top 5-6 in others

Morosi saying Boston caved today to include Teel AND Montgomery

I wanted nothing to do with an oft-injured Boston prospect

When do they sign Quintana?

Sox lost 120 games and look to be worse with no hope next few years. I’m shocked some are upset they now have two potential starting catchers.

Ha, fwiw, Fangraphs said Gonzalez was the most disappointing prospect of 2024 when they updated Boston’s system
