July 28, 2025Jul 28 If a guy objectively does not have much trade value, then he does not have much trade value. That's not an excuse for getting a small return, that's the reason for getting a small return. There's a difference.
July 28, 2025Jul 28 Idk if I really care that much anymore as long as Luis Robert is no longer on the Sox after Thursday. Just have a great, showcase series against the Phillies, take the best offer and move on.

The real question is why did we pass on all of the other windows when it was higher.

Obviously, if Chris Getz is being offered Crochet packages for Robert, he should take the best one and run. If he's being offered garbage, perhaps there are creative ways to get more value. So if they trade for Vientos, will it have been planted? Or real? Just want to catch up to where you were in your 30's. I'm on the record saying multiple back-end prospects with limited reps/younger age would be better than Vientos. A Vientos package is a worst case scenario imo.

With all their past successes, they've earned the benefit of the doubt from me.

I am not a fan of trading for Vientos and would prefer actual prospects, but come on, there are a lot of worse outcomes possible than getting him.
July 28, 2025Jul 28 Getz needs to hurry up and trade Robert, people’s brains are melting in real time in this thread. Robert got like 8 hits and people are suddenly being picky about the return of arguably the worst hitter in the sport over the past 2 calendar years.

July 28, 2025Jul 28 The majority of us can agree it was a mistake to not trade him after 2023. Anyone trying to defend that decision today is just being stubborn. You can talk all you want about not getting the value back then, I can respect that stance, but to dig in your heels still today is so ridiculous. This guy that was too valuable to trade is arguably worth nothing today. It was a mistake that absolutely will stunt this rebuild timeline.

He was still deemed a “high-quality outfielder” because most were still writing off his first half performance to injuries and a typical slow start. Heck, his $20M team options were still considered “reasonable” back then. Edited July 28, 2025Jul 28 by JUSTgottaBELIEVE
