I can't be picky for Frazier.

There will be a lot of oohs and aahs for pop ups that fall 30 feet short of the Green Monster.

#MLB #RedSox: Todd Frazier deal is done. Boston sending "cheap" prospects, despite CHI's history of finessing teams by acquiring big names.

Guessing time: Jalen Beeks and Trey Ball, because left hands and Heads.

Don't sleep on Teddy Stankiewicz

I don't think anyone was expecting a great return. Chavis seemed unrealistic to me and obviously Devers & Groome were never going to happen. Honestly, I don't think anything else in their system would qualify as "great" anyways. Chatham or Dalbec would be a solid return IMO.

I don't like the tone of that Celtic crossing tweet. Boston was one of those teams bro

What the hell does "cheap" mean in that context?

A second-round pick in consecutive Drafts, Stankiewicz spurned the Mets in 2012 when they offered him a below-slot bonus. After a year at Seminole State (Okla.) JC, he agreed to a $1.1 million bonus with the Red Sox that got discounted to $915,000 after a physical revealed he had been born without a right pectoral muscle. His lack of an effective breaking ball resulted in modest success as a pro until he improved his slider late in 2016.

 

Stankiewicz has spent most of his pro career relying heavily on a fastball that sat at 91-93 mph and peaked at 95, commanding it well in part because it lacked life. His velocity ticked up in the second half of last season, and he kept hitters off his heater with a harder, sharper slider in the mid-80s. He also has a curveball and changeup, but both are fringy offerings.

 

If that doesn't make you horny, I don't know what will.

What does "Cheap prospect" mean?

heck Devers is cheap - minor league salaries aren't much.

Pretty sure it means Teddy Stankiewicz

I'm assuming it means none of their highly regarded prospects, but it's just a weird word to use. Definitely takes away some of the optimism I had.
