It's hard to imagine the Sox couldn't have matched that offer rather easily without affecting our immediate future. Matthew Thompson would be the easy comparable to Brennan Malone in that deal. It's harder to find a good young SS in the Sox system, but considering the Pirates desperate need at catcher, I feel like Thompson, Collins, and maybe a Bryce Bush could have been enough? Or swap out Bush for Bailey?
January 28, 20206 yr I'm actually OKAY with the Sox not mortaging more future assests for 2 years of Marte. He's a really good player, but shedding another wave of players for that is on the downside for me. I don't think the Sox will overtake the Twins this season and I don't think they will win enough to be a WC. In my mind, you are only getting 1 year of control of Marte at that point for pieces that could be impactful in 3 or so years when we are actually competing.
January 28, 20206 yr Trading 2 low level players is not mortgaging the future. They're gonna be drafting 40 more of them in a few months.

Yeah I think I would have been fine with it. He would be your starting RF making your defense better and your backup CF so you wouldn't really need Engel.
January 28, 20206 yr Apparently the Astros are hiring Dusty Baker. So it'd be hard to say losing their GM didn't cause any internal change....

January 28, 20206 yr I'm much more interested in who they hire as GM. That will show the direction of the organization. Bobby Evans would be a great hire.
January 28, 20206 yr If he's starting at 2nd base for any club opening day their roster has major issues.
January 29, 20206 yr The Red Sox just DFA’ed their #26 prospect SP Denyi Reyes to make room for the re-signing of Mitch Moreland. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=198829

January 29, 20206 yr https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-offseason-winners Not sure if this is always a good thing for Sox based on similar “titles,” but we’ll take it for now.

Good god man you need to get with the times because you constantly come across as some whiny curmudgeon.

I'm old, but I'm not "whiny," nor bad-tempered. All of these very young multi-millionaires are prone to ill-advised behaviour. Awarding tens of millions of dollars to young men, in their early 20's, in our current social culture, what could possibly go wrong? Hopefully, Abreu will provide some positive role model suggestions, minus the tobacco chewing. At any rate, I'm glad that Puig was not added to this likeable group of players.

You turned an innocuous light spirited comment about a player's hair dye into a vengeful; personal attack against a poster. Instead of responding in kind I will simply ignore any future comments by you. Fine by me if you do the same.
