Didn't realize he was all the way down to .218

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/why-red-sox-trade-acquisition-135920801.html Curtis Mead comes out against Sweet Caroline. Uh oh.

SIThe Padres Must Trade Mason Miller Before the DeadlineA year after overpaying for baseball’s best closer, the smart move is for San Diego to move him.

#10: Seattle Mariners. It seems like nobody wants to win the AL West, and the Mariners are one of those "Nobodies". #9: Texas Rangers. The Rangers are the other "Nobody" team in the Wild West Race. They currently sit on top of that heap with an even .500 record. #8: Chicago Cubs. They still sit in the top Wild Card in the National League. The bats and gloves are good enough to win some postseason games, but who will pitch? #7: Chicago White Sox. This season has been a ton of fun on the South Side. Will they make a move to keep it going? Imagine Tarik Skubal on this team. Now wake up, that's not happening. yahoo.com/sports

So you want to trade for Miller and Detmers? For who exactly? Surely you won't have to trade Bonemer nor Carlson.

Early for Mead by definition isn't exactly rational either...not for prospect lovers.

So if you can't win anything in the postseason even with Miller, King and a catcher...then just do nothing? Sounds like that equally twisted stick head in sand plan will certainly satisfy Sox fans lol. We can just be like Baltimore minus the two 0-5 playoff appearances, keep payroll in the bottom 2-3 and hoard prospects. Or we can criticize SD for swinging those big headline talent trades with nothing to show for it despite 4/6 playoff appearances and one humbling NLCS loss (50% due to Clevinger.)

Tatis and Erik Johnson were included because JR wanted to pay even less of Shields' deal than Moores was willing to chip in as a subsidy. The early May 2016 "false record" that had Hahn thinking they were contenders. Liriano/Escobar was one of KW's worst. Or Todd Ritchie for Wells/Fogg/Lowe.

"Mead, meanwhile, has a line of .254/.352/.500. The Nationals' new brain trust, led by former Red Sox executive Paul Toboni, acquired him from the Chicago White Sox last offseason and watched him flourish after three years of mediocre hitting, and have now flipped him for a legitimate talent in Early." No other players or $$$/international pool/picks involved.

Total jinx lol.

Massive unknown…how much additional salary JR is willing to add with that 20% attendance/revenues generated increased. Right now they’re 28th or 29th in payroll, I think. Only CLE and maybe Miami behind them.

Yeah, technically Sosa…who had zero value as it played out, or Hays/Pereira, would have been ahead of Mead…I guess. Acuna as well. Certainly Benintendi’s $30 million remaining.

Meadiocre no longer lol. Massive shift in one year value. Won the Vargas trade, equally lost the Mead situation in order to "protect" Benintendi. Or blame JR, I guess, too.

Sure, 3 days ago from rational logic...

Trade for Lackey! (75-85% joking.) Do they still have that limitations about trading players in draft year after signing?

Both through 2030...this is insanity.

He's had about 20 injuries since 2020. And the odds of him getting on an offensive roll after all the time off are pretty much slim and none.

The problem is none of those guys are reliable in LF if you move Antonacci back to the infield. Could even argue for Benintendi, it's that much of an issue.

Meidroth grades as just average to slightly below there. Acuna's the better defender...

Completely invisible/unnoticed/disregarded? Maybe they got ahead of their skis a little bit.

Mason Miller won't solve this dilemma.

No margin for error against Hunter Brown...

Colson and Vargas both have been sliding defensively...
