Collins is more like Avery Weens in terms of trade value than he is Meija.

Meija 3.6 + 0.3 = Collins 2.1 + Weems 1.8

Probably true. I don’t think Mejia is a throw in, but I don’t think he’s in the top three reasons the rays made that trade. So even if Sox fans start with Kopech+ Collins it’s the latter two prospects that made the Padres a much better fit than the Sox. We don’t have names in our 9-15 range that are going to pull much value. Maybe next year though.

Back off Chachi.

The Padres are not done yet...

 

 

Oof Padres still going hard at Yu. I wonder if this pushes Dodgers too.

Sweet Lord.

They're not fucking around. I bet they want to use the momentum and excitement to lock up Tatis next.

I mean, he better be taking a big discount at the rate they're spending:

 

Lamet / Snell / Darvish / Paddock / Gore

and Clevinger the year after.

 

I called it that they would probably do one more move! In all honesty though...The White Sox need to be ALL over the Rockies and D-Backs rosters. Marquez, Gallen - try and steal anyone you can because those teams have ZERO chance the next 3-4 years. 

Adding Yu also reeks of an offseason that everyone doesn't shut the hell about, has the starters on every magazine cover, gets called a super team, and still loses the division by 6 games.

Paddock feels like a guy who would be part of this trade.

They are far from the lux tax, and that’s the only real spending limit in baseball. Who says their ownership won’t play near there?

Clean out their farm Cubs.

It's too bad the Sox don't have the same aggressiveness from ownership. Can you imagine a rotation of Giolito/Darvish/Lynn/Keuchel,Cease or Kopech. My God...

Just looked up their salaries and I guess I figured more of their vets were on contracts (i.e. not pre-arb/arbitration).

Don't forget the Reds.

Would have loved Snell, but now it's up to the Sox to make the next move to take control of the AL.  Any other Rays players we would want?

Anderson

Must be nice to have ownership that's actually interested in winning championships. 

I realize they're trading a lot of the farm to do this, but the Padres system is super deep and if they can get these guys without trading Gore, that's huge. And they have a decent young-ish core in Tatis, Lamet and Machado, who is only 28.

The Sox are going to need a lot of starters next year. Not many guys pitched 35 innings in 2020.

That's what is so sad about this. The Sox will still be a lot of fun to watch, but management is more interested in profit than blowing teams out of the water.

Will be interesting to see what Darvish brings in trade. Among all the 'gettable' pitcher names who have been bantered about, he is the guy I'd want. Notwithstanding the Cubs-Sox dynamic, we shouldn't sit back and let Padres or anyone else acquire him without a fight. Maybe the Padres have some bullets left in the chamber but their prospect capital at this point can't be that much stronger than ours.

Sox don't have a Gore, but that would be insane to give for Darvish imo

If the Cubs are taking Myers back, they kind of have to be getting one of Gore or Paddack.
