QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:57 AM) This has been Hahn's worst big deal by far People really overrated DRob's value. Remember the package be almost went for during the offseason? He's had a good year, but not great.

Does this mean LaRoche is coming out of retirement

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:45 AM) Hopefully Rutherford isn't too crushed. I believe he and his family are die hard Yankees fans. Wasn't Clarkin a diehard Red Sox fan?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:45 AM) We all know you love Fulmer ? Says AAA hitters

It's weird seeing Boston and Nats games and not caring how their pen does

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:37 AM) Undoubtedly the worst of the big trades. To trade 3 major leaguers including two with some nice value for only guy who will enter your top 20 or 25 prospects is not good to say the least. Just got to hope it land out and it doesn't matter anyways. Clarkin is very underrated. I would put him in the Guerrero range and say he has a better chance to start than someone like Fulmer

How can any Sox fan complain about an extension to a young guy? It's been the best thing the organization has done over last five years. Anderson might flop, but it doesn't mean it was a bad idea.

I'm gonna miss DRob. He struggled at times but I have never heard one bad thing about him off the field.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:24 AM) But seriously guys, we have like 12 bucks dedicated to the payroll going forward... Yep it's quite exciting. I'm still intrigued at the Stanton/Yellich idea if it's only money and minimal prospects in return

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:24 AM) Only reason why people thought we could get Kieboom or Soto for Robertson alone is because of how desperate the Nats were for relief pitching. But the A's were sure to give them a sweet deal. I'm guessing Rizzo didn't want an egg on his face twice in one season for dealing with Hahn. And because the Sox would have been paying a lot of money

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:23 AM) Seriously people are getting the term blue chip confused. Eloy Jimenez is a blue chip prospect. Rutherford currently isn't and again I'm probably the 3rd or 4th biggest Rutherford fan here. Yep if Eloy and Yoan are A+ prospects, he would be an A-. The good news is he seems to be hitting better of late. The Kanny lineup is quite intriguing

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 04:13 AM) Rebuilding teams should always be trading relievers. They are so volatile. Yes

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 05:07 AM) If they love Rutherford and it was the only way to acquire him? Yep especially if they used him to get Alonso and Gray

Was Polo the guy who made the diving catch when Q was pitching vs USA

Polo 4th piece

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 04:33 AM) We just acquired another top 50 OF prospect, I think this signals Avi is as good as gone. Nah, but if Cards want to give Kelly and flaherty for Avi and Swarzak, that be cool

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 04:29 AM) Link me. I found this from earlier: “Two guys I know who scouted the Appalachian League thought he was the best hitter there, just in terms of pure hitting prowess and projection,” Law said during a conference call Monday. “There was concern about that he’s a 19-year-old coming out of high school — the history of those guys is not great — [but] this guy’s a pretty exceptional hitter. “He’s gonna hit for average and he’s gonna hit for power. He’s clearly a corner outfielder to me. I’d probably put him in right, it’s possible he ends up in left just because you might have someone with a little more range at some point. I think he’s gonna hit for very high averages. I was aggressive in the ranking. I thought he was a top-five player at the draft. He went to an advanced league for someone right out of high school, performed well and impressed the scouts that saw him.” Was in his most recent chat talking about what scouts have told him

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 03:44 AM) Anderson picked off to end the 7th. Dodgers win the challenge. In the first inning on that error given to Anderson on the close play at 1st that replay was showing the Dodger runner was probably out Renteria did not challenge. That run er scored the only run Yep Renteria is so bad with replay

And yes, KLaw is way down on Rutherford

Don't forget the relief market seems to be good for buyers based off Nats trade.

Sounds like Sox wanted Groome https://mobile.twitter.com/BostonStrong_34/...511315572547588

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 03:16 AM) Sounds like the White Sox made this deal around getting Rutherford. Got rid of Robertson's salary for next season, Frazier had little/no value, and they cashed in on Kahnle. Essentially Kahnle and Robertson for Rutherford. Doesn't sound like the 2 other minor league players offer much value, but Hahn may have so high on Rutherford, this could be a trade for a prospect he wanted vs. a quantity deal. Clarkin is far from filler

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 03:15 AM) Either that or he was a really big fan of Tito f***ing Polo. Or really likes Clarkin

Tito Polo?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 02:58 AM) Holder? Tate?
