Braves gave up Allard for Chris Martin ?

15 year old kids don‘t post on message boards. Posting on a message board is the ultimate sign that you are old.

Maybe his dad has some of that stuff lying around that helped him hit 34 HRs one year.

If you are unsure about that, I am pretty sure you have trouble picking up obvious sarcasm or jokes.

Manfred: Let‘s juice the ball even more, fans loved that Sosa/McGwire HR race, right?

Losing minot league depth is not good,. It‘s not the end of the world or anything,, but it means that teams have to either rush a prospect or give at bats to an even worse player. That is true for EVERY team and shows that you still have a lack of understanding how a roster is built.

No chance the Dodgers are dealing him during the season.

Phillies gave Blake Parker a major league deal. Bit of an headscratcher

Had semi high hopes for Rondon. All the scouting reports dubbed him as a + defensive SS with some good pop for his position. Oh well.

With the Giants recent surge, there are fewer and fewer options available. Colome has a track record of being good, I don‘t think the peripherals in a small sample size are causing much panic.

10 teams are looking for bullpen help, he should return something good. Giles getting hurt and the Pirates not willing to trade Vasquez looks like a blessing for the Sox.

So you have checked the IPs and found out that vilehoopster is Rick Hahn? ?

Total shocker that the 2016 clubhouse was such a mess.

People here HATED Stroman as a prospect. The draft thread would have been incredibly angry back then.

Wouldn‘t mind him at 1B, add Castellanos and Dickerson and you have added 7-9 WAR and still have financial flexibility to buy some pitching.

Yeah Crain never threw a single pitch again which is kind of weird. IIRC he never had surgery.

If that was a huge missed opportunity depends on if Arrieta would have discovered “yoga“ in a Sox uniform.

Reminds me of the year when Jesse Crain was absolutely lights out and got hurt right before the deadline.

Doesn‘t he live in Miami? Being closer to his family would also help selling him on the trade.

To return to the original question, if there is any truth to that report, I would be unbelievably mad.

Sonny Gray was a borderline ace with tons of team control. Frazier was trash, Robertson was good but made a ton of money and Kahnle was a dude without a track record. To compare these returns is absurdely disingenuous.

Pretty impressive for Rutherford to hit one out to the opposite field. Especially when they are not using those ridiculous juiced baseballs. Btw. Yermin should be in Chicago, guys like him who hang around forever are easy to root for to at least get a cup of coffee.

Yeah to take on McCutchen the Sox would have to get Hoskins or Nola or something ridiculous like that.

Them getting Vargas shouldn't impact their reported pursuit of Colome

They received a 26 year old catcher who is having a brutal season in AA. I guess it was just a salary dump for the Mets but still...
