Love the switching dugouts situation. Bet he goes yard tonight or tomorrow.

Good

I cannot wait to never have to hear that dope speak again.

DeJong will be on waivers tomorrow if he doesn't get acquired today. If no one claims him (and I think they would for like $600k), he should be DFAd the following day. Absolutely zero reason for DeJong to take another at bat for this team.

Meh. Holding Crochet and letting all 29 teams bid on him this winter is WORLD'S better than trading him for best offer right now if the best offer isn't good.

What else are the Yankees going to give us? I doubt Dominguez is available. Its literally Jones and several supporting pieces, or NYY isn't an option.

I am not upset, tbh. Sorry if came off that way. Sometimes just gets a little exhausting weeding through your rhetoric. Doubt I am alone. Here's to hoping Robert has a monster first half next season. Sox could certainly use the good fortune.

Well when you take your two best prospects off the table, one of which is vastly overrated, you'll get that response.

He is an .816 OPS career gold glove caliber CF just reaching his prime years under control for 3.33 seasons. You love using small sample sizes to fuel your negativity, but then will use larger ones when its convenient. Robert has not been good in 2024, and trading him at his lowest would be dumb. But let's please stop acting like the guy doesn't still have a ton of value.

Then you trade him in December when 29 teams are interested. Shut him down in the meantime if you're worried about injury. Selling low is the absolute worst thing to do.

As for moving him today, I hope they don't. Robert will be vastly more valuable next July imo.

Yah, I don't really think effort is the issue with Robert. He's just been in one of those funks where he can't lay off the slider. It happens every year. And then a couple weeks later he looks amazing again. He's just a streaky hitter. If he weren't, he'd be an 8 WAR Player. Robert may not be a "fiery" player but I don't think its an effort issue. I think most of it is he's just so athletic, he makes everything look effortless.

Fairly certain Sox just picked up a little bit of Pham's $500k assignment bonus for being traded. Its probably safe to assume Pham had basically no surplus value and was in fact just a throw in.

Very unlikely. Cash is always just an option in case they don’t want one of the players they agreed to select from. Dodgers didn’t even send anyone making any $; cash doesn’t make any sense.

It’s a 30 game sample, yes. But his minor league sample is quite good. Look, I’m not defending the trade, but Vargas is a much better player than 90% of Sox fans are giving them credit for. Return should have included one of STLs best prospects as well, tho.

DeJong sucks at 3B. Hopefully we can end that experiment after today.

Love when Luis hits.

I agree with this. The trade sucks. They should have gotten a better centerpiece. But Vargas has a chance to be a solid offensive producer; I mean he’s got a 108 wRC+ this year. I haven’t looked, but imagine that’d be top 2 on the Sox easily.

All that to just not let Colas try to learn major league hitting. So fucking stupid.

If anyone finds a link or a video with Getz full comments from today, please do share. Only thing I’ve found are the few snippets from DVS Twitter.

Looks like he has 5 years of service after 2024, even if he spends the balance of the season on the Sox.

Where we seeing this reported? edit: nevermind see it now. Probably covering a portion of Pham's trade assignment bonus. Probably proves he had negative value.

Not excited, but passable since Pham probably had basically no value. But Fedde for Vargas feel a really good prospect light.

Can anyone tell me where Perez and Albertus ranked on BA's updated list?
