With all due respect, I really hope Suzuki is a massive bust. One, because I hate the Cubs. Two, so I never have to read about him again on this site. Lots of angst for a guy the Sox were never, ever linked to.

Think more long-term like Kath or Ramos

Vaughn was a universal top 25 prospect. Madrigal wasn’t even top 100 for some.

On the WS Talk podcast, Stoney implied the Sox are very high on Manaea. He made it sound like it’s possible they could trade from their farm system for him, but he didn’t sound like anything is imminent.

I think we see why Sox prospect rankings were bad in the past

He’s dinged up now

People should be asking themselves this when considering trading Vaughn....would the Tigers trade Tork for this package?

Nah, injury issue is scary for Castillo

Kopech is a glorified opener right now

Not that this is an issue to be upset about, but I wonder who the odd man out is if everyone is healthy against a LHP? You have Abreu, Eloy, Pollock, Vaughn and Engel for four spots. It should be Engel, IMO but I don’t think the Sox would agree.

Yes, yes, hell no

Might not even get you one guy

Who would you like to see given up for a pitcher?

Yoan K again, blown away by a fastball

Yikes

Get Vaughn’s name out of your mouth!

Sure but I think there’s someone they can acquire who can catch the ball and provide more offense.

He wasn’t all that much better, and if anything, is worse with the bat than Seby.

Ciuffo ain’t it. Considering the Sox want to rest Grandal a lot, they need someone a lot better than him as the backup. Good news is it sounds like they’re pursuing a backup.

Interesting that Dane Dunning’s favorite player, Lucas Erceg, is pitching now for the Brewers.

Every ball they hit is squared up

His hip is flying open causing the slower bat speed and inability to handle a breaking pitch. Needs to get a better rhythm to his swing. Eloy also struggling now, as he’s struck out in quite a few consecutive at bats.

Every pitch is a high change up or 86 mph fastball down the plate. He looks like Jim Parque.

He has no shot of getting MLB hitters out anymore

Haha, just release him and eat the money
