This is really bad news for the Sox in the future. 

If T100 prospects are now untouchable then the Sox have no chance for a very long time. 

Somewhat surprising there want even one but not really. Thought there might be a pitcher. I think Lesko was a top 100 guy (#76) but sliding downward.  Maybe he wasn't on BA Top 100 though. Figured if there were any traded it would be pitcher,catcher or 1st basemen.

There aren't that many teams who have the confidence like Tampa Bay in their scouting and development to take prospects outside the top 100 or Lesko who was having huge problems throwing strikes.

If that holds, we must reevaluate our international game. We have to figure out how to be at least top ten internationally. 

We is JR. Not happening.

Can’t draft

Cant develop 

Can’t sign top INT players

Cant evaluate trade talent

Cant play with the real teams in FA 

How exactly are they going to build a good team?

It looks like Getz is that rare 5 tool GM.

The f*** you talkin about boy?

29 other teams besides the Sox have a Top 10 prospects list . 29 x 10 equals 290 - 95 or so in the top 100 (Sox prospects in the Top 100 dont count.  That leaves around 195 that won't be in the top 100. There are various top 100 lists so maybe  you can include more players but the math is the same no matter what list you use.

Maybe a sign a recession is imminent. Shed money off the books and keep cheap assets.

Snelling is on MLB pipeline 100, and he was traded for a relief pitcher rental in Scott.  

So many trades but what was the most significant trade?

Snelling and Lesko were both on pipeline list but they won’t be once they rerank. 

We really should have taken one of the various bats in the draft. Dammit.

The Sox need to hope both Crochet and Robert finish the season strong and healthy and try to get 3-4 legit bats in return for them in the offseason.
