Teams that missed out are pivoting and negotiating with their plan b

That’s fair but I don’t want those guys.

Why

You showed him

Is Edman bad defensively? I find it odd he wouldn't just play SS if he is at least average.

Could easily see the bolded happening. I'm trying not to get too excited like last year.

Would be nice to see Fried sign somewhere that isn't Boston and Teoscar to sign with Boston ASAP.

Yet, you're the biggest Nick Madrigal fan on the planet.

Yeah, I agree with that. A lot of the guys we're talking about are like 20/21 and reached Double-A (besides Montgomery). At least the Red Sox and Phillies guys anyway. I know Montgomery was drafted last year but was he injured? I see no stats for him. Edit: Aidan Miller, 20 years old, reached AA last season Justin Crawford: turns 21 next month, reached AA last season Marcelo Mayer: turns 22 in 3 days, reached AA last season Kristian Campbell: 22, reached AAA last season

No, this shouldn't be the priority in a major deal like this.

Could make an OF prospect expendable in a deal. Also, maybe Rafaela moves back into the IF.

Wait, I didn't connect that Justin Crawford is Carl Crawford's son until now.

I literally read it as Paredes like Isaac Paredes lol

Great ballplayer, exciting former White Sox player, excellent poster on Soxtalk.

This feels like last year.

Same, I was also joking.

Benintendi’s contract is Soto’s signing bonus lol

Trade Robert for Lux and Outman and Crochet for Abreu and Casas. It’s brilliant!

Is any deferred? Edit: $75M signing bonus

Damn I hadn’t seen that.

I’m just not sure what a Casas or Abreu does. Gives you a good player for the next 4-5 years I guess but the team might not even be good in that time.

I’ll take Campbell + Montgomery

Yeah it’s fucking annoying

Beat who can do? Reds or Sox?

You mean “prefer quality.”
