Don’t underestimate how much the Sox overestimate Vaughn

Wanted him in a Dodgers deal for Cease?

Not a bad idea, but Busch is someone that would have made sense for the Sox also

They don’t have anyone really near him, as Schultz is higher rated.

Needed to clear spots on 40 man. Ferris will be their top pitching prospect by end of 2024.

Ferris is way higher regarded than those guys

Nah, Ferris and lesser prospect

Ferris maybe?

3B and DH?

I bet he is their DH

Two prospects in return….absolutely sucks the Sox couldn’t afford something like this.

I’m guessing someone like Wesneski

It also makes no sense at all for the Padres, as they need pitching and would be getting a bunch of outfielders while losing their top pitching prospect.

Yeah, I meant as a vague statement. Biggest issue would be Orioles lack of pitching prospects. Would have to be something that would kill their system, which I don’t think they’d do.

Cubs, Orioles, Brewers, Reds, Red Sox

Orioles aren’t getting Robert without giving up one of their top prospects.

I’m surprised how many Sox fans are freaking out about this news. It means relatively nothing, as it’s almost a foregone conclusion another team will have to worry about re-signing him.

Apparently it came down to the Cubs and Pirates. Seems like everyone got scared off by his age and fly ball tendencies.

Another player coming off a horrible season. Doesn’t strikeout anyone.

Sounds good to me, which usually means the other team says no

I will be honest, I want him traded prior to opening day because I really don’t want to have to care how anyone on this roster performs.

Kjerstad, Westburg, Mayo, Cowser, Dominguez, Jones, Hampton from Orioles and Yankees would be a guess

Hypothetically, the Orioles could be offering something like Kjerstad, Norby and Beavers, but the Sox are asking for Westburg also. I do think all the headlines of “Sox will hold on to Cease” are overblown based off what Rogers wrote.
