If he had never played for the Sox but put up the same numbers elsewhere, more people would like this move. I think it’s pretty good. Stop lunging for first base running down the line.

His numbers have been bad of late.

You know there was a time when I really like Adam Eaton. Right up until he lost his mind because a little kid wasn't in the locker room 24/7

It was a little obnoxious, but I really think the guy was just sticking up for the kid who was stuck in the middle of the mess. The kid did nothing wrong.

When? the last 40 games?

Can we get Baghdad Bob back here to tell us about how the spending is going to happen?

This is my biggest issue. You're basically guaranteeing large stretches of Engel/Garcia as your starting RF

At least LF and CF are dependable guys in terms of health

Lynn one wasn't. This one is. 

Didn’t say good or bad... but the trade is controversial based on the pages of people who don’t like it.

He called the kid a leader. I mean....is there anything that needs to be said there? 

Ah yes, let's sacrifice RF( a black hole) for reliever money (loaded in young arms). 4-D Chess by the Sox. Gimme Brantley at this point too or is that too expensive for the Sox as well?

With the cash we are spending we should be able to sign Bauer and Hendriks. 

So they basically got Adam Eaton for stlightly more than Mazara's arb number.

His defense has fallen off a cliff 

Seems like they may be dreaming big here

I am good with this deal for Eaton. Speed , good defense and gets on base

Worse than who?  Certainly not worse than anyone else we've been throwing out there.  The only guy you could point to (besides Springer) that you can make an argument is a better fit is Joc.  And that is no slam dunk.  Joc is coming off a .190/.285/.395 season good for -0.1 fWAR.  Eaton wasn't any better in 2020, but its not like Joc was some home run signing.  The rest of the options suck balls at defense.

Despite how bad Joc was, Eaton was still significantly worse

It is a little known fact that Adam Eaton is actually Trevor Bauer's brother in law  :cool:

Good defense....? 

I expect a 25 man all white roster on Opening Day. Gotta keep Tony happy.
