Holy fudge! That is waaaaay more than Sox got for Fedde. Lotta strikeouts between those two, but they are legit second division regulars.

Did they just get more for Trevor Rogers than Getz got for Fedde?! Two R/R hitters who are defensive liabilities wherever you put them. Vargas controls the zone better, Norby has more impact and has been better in mlb. It’s close.

BA has the two prospects the Sox acquired out of their top 500. So... Lotto tickets.

Or a 3 team deal where the Sox end up with James Outman and 2 DSL pitchers, but give up Crochet, Brebbia, and throw in Mason Adams for some reason.

Good lord. I knew it had to be something like this. This means the Sox continue to listen to Tosar even though they have built a historically bad offense. This might mean they are not going to clean house in the hitting side this winter. That thought terrifies me.

Would love to know how much $$$ the Sox saved in total from this. It’s the only factor that makes any sense at all. Vargas is a R/R DH. To ever amass 4.6 WAR, he’ll have to be Frank Thomas/Dick Allen.

That list doesn’t have draftees on it yet. Smith and Bonemer will be higher for sure. So middle of the pack. Not awful, just not Quero from last year.

And Bruce Levine will report it as Michael Anthony Hall.

Accidental double post. Phone is glitchy today

I have heard other things, but we shall see.

He’s been stealing bases and going all out on D. You wanna see low effort? Wait until Vargas gets here.

With Crochet dangling and Getz dealing, I feel like a guy awaiting execution. Maybe I’ll eat a pint of ice cream and a bucket of chicken.

MLB had both guys listed as 50 ovr prospects in the Dodgers system. Now in the Sox system, they’re both listed as 45.

Any chance this is TLR doing the Cardinals a solid?

Why are they allowed to bring Peralta back up? There’s no way it’s been 10 days, right? Also, Touki back up? Shoot me now.

Really? He cannot throw strikes in AAA. Why in God’s name would you put him on the 40 man? I hate these people.

Maybe Vargas can teach Robert how to hit and Robert can teach Vargas how to work out?

Except not Michael Busch.

I’m going tonight because I am in town and I love my brother. Might also see the Sox break a record.

Sure. You can announce Vargas as an infielder. I’ll say something positive now. Vargas reminds me a little of Edgar Martinez before the power kicked in. Hey, maybe he’ll get stronger and become a real good DH.

I apologize for every unkind word I ever said about Rick Hahn.

Gonna be interesting how Perez and Albertus are viewed vs. the rest of the Sox system. I’d slot them in around 15-16, ahead of Mogollon for now. Mogollon’s batted ball data hints at way more impact, tho. They are solid prospects but not system changing. Sox gotta count on Wolkow and Bonemer being dudes.

He’s a dh. Maybe try hiding him at first when they non-tender Vaughn? This is a catastrophe.

Serious question: is Vargas actually any better than Sosa and Colas? Sosa certainly has had a lot of non-PCL AAA success and at least Colad hits the ball hard. Plus, Vargas is the worse defender of the 3. For those down on Sosa’s D, just wait.

Bears could give him a look at Nickel too. Would be just as effective.
