That they were in the hunt for Glasnow, but decided not to give up the prospects it would have taken. Has no idea if they will make a big trade, but there are still a lot of conversations and things can always pick up after someone (Yamamoto, in this case I’m sure) signs. They’re getting Grissom outfield reps, which is something I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sox asked about.

For those with an Athletic subscription, there’s a long interview with Braves GM AA. Needless to say, they are very “in” on Cease.

Signing ERod took them out of the hunt, IMO. Phillies are the new team I expect to hear linked to Cease.

The more I think about it, the more the Pirates getting Cease makes no sense. They’re not likely competing in the next two years, and unloading their farm should be someone with significantly more years remaining on their contract.

He had the scoop on Perez a few days ago. A Pirates beat writer hinted at a trade happening, but I highly doubt it’s Cease.

I haven’t even heard them rumored as scouting the kid lately

I’m still annoyed they didn’t try to get Nelson Velasquez last deadline

Sure, they start Ortiz in the minors then. I also have an issue with Mayo as the headliner. Isn’t he similar to Burger?

Dejong will be your starting SS, guaranteed

2025 isn’t a contending year

The thing that drives me insane is that if the Sox are so high on Waldrep, they could have just drafted him a few months ago.

Couldn’t agree more with you, but we know the Sox tend to get tunnel vision with their decision making. They want to play like the Royals of the past with speed and defense, which is a huge mistake IMO.

I will be shocked if they go after offense, as we discussed a few days ago. The fact they were looking at Pepiot as a headliner adds more proof.

He was so awful doing DePaul games

Some consider Williams one of the best QB prospects ever

There’s a better chance I’m the QB at USC next year

Fitting end to this regime

It’s crazy how much better Moore is than all the other receivers. It’s like Robert compared to the rest of the Sox hitters.

People will focus on Tonyan’s drop, but Fields has been very lucky overall today. Easily could have had 3 INT

Eberflus, Getsy and Fields all should and will be gone

Eberflus and Getsy are so bad

NBB keeps saying they will hold him to the deadline as plan B

Who’s to say there aren’t guys in their system that the Sox think are underrated? Owen Murphy, for example, could be a big piece that interests them.

Don’t know if it was mentioned already, but the Giants seem willing to trade their young pitching. Not a fan of their guys, but their interest will pick up in Cease when Yamamoto goes elsewhere.

And good luck trying to win games at GRF in the summer with pitching and defense when the park plays small.
