I have a friend that knows one of the trainers with the Red Sox. Mentioned Giolito’s medicals is so bad. Arm will not last a season. They red flagged him.

I couldn’t believe how low Montgomery was. Yesterday was the top 100. I went through it 3 times thought I skipped him.

Love the signing!

Yeah baby

Positive thoughts!!!

Ryan Burrowes has had a nice bounce back year just looking at the stats. Still super young. Any of our Sox writers can give their thoughts on him. Only thing I heard in an interview a couple months ago was he’s still very raw with the fundamentals of the game. Has never really watched baseball on tv before signing, so will sometimes makes a lot silly mistakes. lol! Hopefully wee are seeing progress in that area.

I’m not a Tibbs fan. He can’t hit lefties. Platoon bat.

Tauchman asked not to be traded. Has a daughter going through medical issues and his family is all lives in Illinois. Support network to help them out.

Willie Castro to the cubs

Boston Bateman going to Baltimore

Phillies and Mets are out. Robert is staying.

Sox are screwed

Yankees getting Bednar

National league are going for it right now. Just waiting for the Dodgers to join the party.

That is crazy what Preller gave up!

I would of traded Taylor for their stud SS

Jeez

Phillies about to get Duran

Jake Eder involved lol!

Ryan Sandburg just passed away!

If you watch video on Schultz the slider doesn’t look the same compared to last year. It looks like he’s throwing with less velocity and not getting as much horizontal movement/late bite on the pitch. Also, he’s been going deeper into the games and velocity has gone down.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6502957/2025/07/24/mlb-top-prospects-2025-kevin-mcgonigle/?source=user_shared_article updated Law Rankings Montgomery #21 Montgomery broke his ankle in the super regionals in June 2024, slid to the No. 13 pick in the draft, signed with Boston but didn’t play a game before they shipped him to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet deal, and finally made his pro debut this spring in Low A. He’s spent most of the year in High A, hitting .256/.342/.444 there while playing right and center, hitting for more average and on-base percentage left-handed with more power right-handed, in line with what I saw from him in college. He’s whiffing on pitches in the zone, including fastballs, much more than I anticipated, though, and that’s mildly concerning for an SEC product in High A, even giving him some grace for the injury and lost time. It hasn’t been improving with time, either, and that’s the main thing I need to see from him in the second half to hold my evaluation of him as a future 55 (above-average regular) in right field. schultz #58-Starting to get a little worried. I admit I’m a little concerned here. Schultz started out in Double A and was just OK, posting a 3.34 ERA but with mediocre peripherals – he walked 14.4 percent of batters he faced, struck out 23.2 percent, and posted a good but not elite groundball rate of 49 percent. His slider looks like it should be plus, but it doesn’t miss nearly enough bats, and in the end his arsenal is more a basket of 50s and 55s, without a real out pitch right now. He is 6-9 or 6-10, just 21, and has only 183 pro innings under his belt, so you can expect some development given more time and reps. I wouldn’t have promoted him to Triple A, however, where he’s now given up 15 runs in 11 innings and is on the IL with knee discomfort. He’s one step from the majors, but I think he needs a lot more time than that implies, whether it’s a full year at the current level or a slow ramp in the majors like they did with Chris Sale over a decade ago.

I paid and won the bidding on Tim Anderson game used All Star Helmet. Paid $515, now worth $5.15. Ugh
