Totally agreed

Lol, the dude had never played in a game for the Sox and something like 30 players in his class were given higher bonuses. If anyone here claims to have known he was going to blow up, they'd be lying.

McMahon has been pretty terrible this season in both AAA and the bigs.

Who are the going to acquire from us though?

Throw in was the wrong word. But he wasn't viewed as a major prospect at the time. Most people on here didn't even know who he was.

Yep, the 40 man crunch is going to become a real thing very soon.

Tatis Jr was a throw-in in that deal when it was made. He blew up. No one was talking about how the Padres fleeced the Sox with Tatis Jr when the trade was made. I personally have low expectations because everyone with value has been traded. Jose maybe has some, but his recent somewhat extended cold streak makes his minimal chances of being traded quite a bit lower. Avi and Jones are hurt. The only guys that have any real value in trade (that the Sox would actually consider trading) are Soria, Avilan and Yolmer. That is it, and those guys aren't bringing back top 100 prospects. Maybe someone is interested in Cedeno, but we aren't getting anything exciting.

Next May.

The Sox really don't have much of anything to trade. I don't expect much excitement the next few weeks. As you noted, Soria, Avilan and Cedeno are all probably gone. But the returns will be minimal. I would love to see us get someone's blocked CF prospect that we can at least throw out there the rest of the year instead of Engel.

I missed that. What happened?

The Rockies are never going to give a team an extension window, so the whole thing is worthless to discuss. And even if they did, it would still be beyond idiotic to trade Moncada.

How about we sign the guy instead of giving away a potential franchise player?!?!?!?!

I don't like Engel, but its not fair to put him and especially Tilson in the same box Trayce and guy like Ryan LaMarre.

No. I wouldn't do Syndergaard for Kopech straight up. People, the dude is going to be a FA right when the Sox window is opening!!! AND he's always hurt!!

Coming around, I see.

He wasn't coming up here anyway.

Syndergaard is not a bag of balls. But your hate for Moncada is quite obvious. This team has no business trading significant controllable assets of any kind for a player that is not going to be part of next core from 2020-2025. It's completely idiotic at this juncture. Not to mention a pitcher that has had a very hard time staying healthy.

Glad you're a poster on a message board and not involved in the day to day operations of the Sox front office. Heck, if that were the case, Moncada would have been traded for a bag of balls already.

He is high.

I suppose I should have said he was recently demoted from the rotation.

So Charlotte rotation is now a little full, if they really plan to start Guerrero. Kopech Fulmer Stephens Adams Roach Guerrero Gonzalez *rehab

Interesting. He hadn't even been starting down in AA.

Any interest in JAMES SHIELDS!?

I mean, I think we're all a little frustrated with Moncada. But the talent is there, and we just need to give it time. He'll come around.

You are Moncada troll at htis point. All of your posts are about him. Give it up.
