https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?qual=150&pos=cf&pagenum=1&pageitems=30 Can’t trade at #24 out of mid 40s in CF. 1.0 fWAR vs. Jackson Merrill burying him in value. Or Brenton Doyle in Colorado. Have to hold him if the team is as desperate financially as claimed. Look at #42. Not a shocker…defense always has suppressed his value, especially in center.

Hard to best Anthony Young's 2-19 or whatever it was...

Collins was once called a 1-1 caliber pick by Hostetler

Those quotes sound like the complete diametrically opposite strategy to what Pass an outlined... lol.

Passan: Competition. Teams are blanching at the prices for players now, but that is a consequence of a market with so few available who can provide instant impact. The return for Carlos Estevez and Jason Adam staggered GMs who were in search of relief pitching and emboldened those with it to stick to their initial asks -- and the game of chicken is thus on. But at the end of the day, contenders know they need more, teams subtracting need to take advantage of a fantastic dealers' market and the place in-between represents the deal zone.

Somehow protecting MJ's legacy... twisted thinking in the long run.

Lance 1 Dog Johnson

why does Kopech seem like Ryan Gosling in this scene?

Benintendi just sucks rotteneggs.

You name your asses? Well, that's... quite unique.

Royals quietly picked up starter depth Michael Lorenzen from the Rangers...

Oh, joy. Loss probability for season now must be under 40 and 120... current betting odds for losses? 1-9 against KC. Yikes. Vargas will be in Chicago tmrw apparently. Michael Lorenzen to the Royals btw. Boosting rotational depth.

Isn't valuing them as equivalent assets baseball malpractice?

2.7 fWAR TOR starter for ten teams in MLB today, #19 ranked after foolishly getting started this last time out 2.7 and trending towards a 4. What does he have... something like 1/4th of team wins? If that's how we value pitching... giving it away for free, why even draft Smith over Cags? The fans of a 120 less team would much rather see some exciting hitters if you have zero speed defense bullpen, etc. Fucking dumbest 1 to 1 evaluation of talent since Brock for Broglio. They will start calling the Sox the No Tool team with Robert gone. Bob from Berwyn or whatever his name has to be contacted by all the local radio call-in programs to rant away.

And let FOUR Padres' execs and scouts come in and steal Tatis right out from under their noses a practice field or two over lol. Our scouting department is almost totally non existent at this point.

Eckstein has to be next Sox manager... or McEwing. Or Jose Oquendo.

First time in SoxTalk history nobody will go on the record as liking this trade or thinking the Sox somehow "won" the trade, day of the move armchair analysis-wise.

The Dodgers also get 17-year-old right-hander Oliver Gonzalez from the Cardinals. Beware the Dodgers' intl scouting prowess. Let's see where the Korean LHP we gifted them with intl bonus pool money and now this kid end up eventually. Oliver Gonzalez, RHP Age: 17 "The Cardinals signed Gonzalez out of Panama this past January for $400,000. The projectable righthander showed advanced pitchability for someone his age and has already added several ticks of velocity to his fastball, which has peaked at 93 mph this season in the Dominican Summer League. He backs his fastball with a mid-70s curveball and a low-80s changeup. His frame, feel to pitch and present stuff combine to give Gonzalez the look of a starter, albeit one who is a long way from reaching his ceiling." ba.com

Taylor has been terible this year. "The Dodgers also get 17-year-old right-hander Oliver Gonzalez from the Cardinals, while the Cardinals will get cash from the White Sox and either cash or a player to be named later from the Dodgers." That might be even more annoying for a cash strapped team. Here, you can have Tatis as well if Erik Johnson isn't enough... we just want our subsidy on the Shields contract anyway.

2025 and 26 listed as pre arbor at Cots so control though 2029 when the rebuild will really be cooking with gas... or an arsonist's flames.

Baldwin will get sent down now lol.

They have scouts? Even if it was Harold's darling Jared Kelenic included, I would still be hopping mad about this one.

Kopech Hollywood volatile mixture goes full-Glen Powell A Star is Born or completely blows up under the bright lights of national media attention.

Yeah we can now grow a semblance of a fan base in Aruba!!! More like a fan club I guess.
