Ugh, Wilson?

.400 OPS? That's a big improvement for him.

They could have gotten Jakucionis, Clayton, or Beringer with Memphis' pick.

Lucky for the Rockies, the Sox didn't become completely god awful until July. The 2024 team won 3 games in July, ending it with 27 wins. So if the Rockies can win 9 games in the next month or so they might actually not have the most losses ever in a season.

2 picks away from Maluach...watch AK take Jakucionis now.

Beal's contract is so bad that we better get draft pick compensation back if we trade him for Vuc + PW. He's owed $110 million over the next 2 years. For comparison, Vuc + PW's deals only get you to $93 million over the next 4.

Lenny 2 Strikes?

This is eerily similar to them trading Betts cause they didn't want to pay him. Devers' contract is probably gonna be terrible in about 4 years, but still. They basically got salary filler and one decent prospect back for a 4 WAR third baseman in his prime.

The conundrum of not wanting to be a historically bad team, but also wanting the #1 pick in the draft.

A 54 win team is a hell of a lot better than a 41 win team.

Uh I'm pretty sure he checked up on that..

He's been living off a good first 9 innings this year. His FIP has always been around 5. It's hard to constantly escape bad peripherals when you don't have good stuff like Wilson.

Going from Taylor to Wilson is such a gigantic downgrade

Or he's just flipping the batter off

So long Lance Lynn re-gen!

I'd say they really needed an OFer, especially when Eloy got hurt in 2021. Because Vaughn was mostly terrible out there. What didn't make a whole lot of sense was that he got worse as time went on. He was actually better in his first season than his 2nd in the outfield.

He was helped out by the aluminum bats in college. He's got a bad case of warning track power once he turned pro. That's one of those things you can definitely work on as a pro by bulking up, which if the work ethics posts are any indication, he hasn't been working on.

He somehow less and less athletic every year as a guy in his early/mid 20s.

I doubt we'd get to load the bases off Richards if he didn't.

Difference ended up being that play by Witt. I think he's won games for the Royals against us at least 5 times in the past few years.

C'mon Tim give us another walk off

Witt saves the Royals again

I for sure thought they'd get 2 runs on that hit

Too bad they took out Richards

Please DFA Temu Lance Lynn
