Benintendi?

Edman is a bit overpaid and hasn't even play this year. Edman is set to make $10M next year.

Where are they going to play Vargas? Honestly, I'm all in on them DFAing Senzel and playing him at 3B rest of the year. Trade Lopez and DeJong by tomorrow and roll with: 2B Sosa, 3B Vargas, SS Baldwin

Yep, this is definitely a move that will make them better in 2026 (for the people who actually believe they will be good in 2026 lol)

Yeah straight up highway robbery.

Didn't that happen in AZ when LaRussa was there? haha they traded for the wrong brother that had the same name from the Red Sox or something? I think it was Basabe.

So is Bruce though lol

Not good lol

Yeah they killed it in this deal lol

I don't really see them going anywhere. Fedde, I think, is the biggest of the Sox chips to move.

Dodgers really needed to get Edman that badly? Weird trade. This deal is nowhere what anyone here would have imagined for the Sox lol Cardinals only give up Edman and get back Fedde and Pham? Steal.

If Dodgers are only getting Edman, we can’t be getting much from them.

“Haul”…I like that

I remember Cronin being a guy people liked here, but was bad in the majors last year.

Yeah. Realistic with JR? No.

"He'll fit right in!"

Are there any SP on any teams with a similarly bad deal we can swap 1-for-1 with? I'd feel better about taking a gamble on a SP to plug into a 5th SP spot to eat some innings during some bad seasons than playing Benintendi. Edit: Taijuan Walker and McCullers (granted, hasn't pitched since 2022, but opening up space on the 40-man every year could be a benefit haha) are a season short.

Easily.

I can easily see them doing it. I just have no idea why anyone would want them to.

Stop this madness. What would the Sox really do with that extra $17M a year that they can't already do beyond this year?

Something like Rushing, De Paula, Ferris, Freeland from Dodgers? Is that enough value? Too little?

True but even then, it doesn't seem like that big a risk with what they gave up. Morel, a 26-year old MiLB pitcher and a 15th round draft pick pitcher from last year.

Dodgers only getting Edman for DePaula isn't right.

I miss MLBN. F YouTube TV.

Agreed. Over Clevinger.
