January 26Jan 26 6 minutes ago, WestEddy said: The Santos trade wasn't bad. Cease - yikes. Jury's out on the Houser trade. Same with Robert. Oh yeah, they got the 69th pick in the 2024 draft and Santos couldn’t stay healthy.
January 26Jan 26 I think it was Jordan Lazowski who earlier in the offseason floated an Edgar Quero-Wilyer Abreu trade and that would be very intriguing right about now.

I feel like Boston wouldn’t do that straight up, but who knows. Maybe include Sosa or something and they include a lesser pitcher.

January 27Jan 27 Author I'm not even going to link the POS article, but ESPN put out their top 100. They only have 3 Sox prospects 34. Caleb Bonemer 96. Noah Schultz 100. Billy Carlson They even used the wrong picture for Schultz.
January 27Jan 27 We were mentioned as a landing spot for one of them(I don't think Jon has any info other than we have funds and a starting spot) but I doubt either one of them comes here.

He's talked about it and probably why he chose here) Tyler Gilbert Brandon Eisert, 2 options remaining Bryan Hudson, 0 (feels like a soon to be DFA when they need to make room for Dominguez) Chris Murphy, 1 Ky Bush, 2 (who knows, may be ticketed to pen here when healthy) Ryan Borucki, 0

It arouses my curiosity how fans and young players would react to having one of those living legends on the Sox any player not signed by spring training doesn't work out well I'll assume the asking price is way too high for both of them, even the big spenders haven't jumped.

January 28Jan 28 Author Interesting - this would seem like an easy pickup. Former top 100 prospect, LHH RF, 23 years old, still has an option left. It's that old "lack of plate discipline" bug. Cuban outfielder Yanquiel Fernandez was designated for assignment by the Colorado Rockies, per sources. — Francys Romero (@francysromeroFR) January 28, 2026 FanGraphs had him as Colorado's #5 prospect last year: Quote 5. Yanquiel Fernandez, RF Video Signed: July 2nd Period, 2019 from Cuba (COL) Age 22.1 Height 6′ 2″ Weight 215 Bat / Thr L / L FV 45 Tool Grades (Present/Future) Hit Raw Power Game Power Run Fielding Throw 30/40 60/70 45/55 40/30 30/40 60 Fernandez’s prodigious left-handed power and very exciting long-term frame projection made him a need-to-know prospect while he was still in rookie ball. But as he has accrued more and more pro reps and generated more data, a crack has emerged in his profile: a lack of plate discipline. Even as Fernandez has enjoyed sensational surface-level performance (148 wRC+ and 17 homers in the first half of 2023, 120 wRC+ as a 21-year-old at Double-A Hartford in 2024), he has some concerning underlying indicators in his chase rates (38% chase, 57% chase with two strikes) and a visible issue with high-and-away fastballs that could become more problematic against big league stuff. Fernandez’s swing generates some epic homers, but he’s vulnerable to both whiffs and weak contact when pitchers execute to the outer third of the zone against him. Because Fernandez is a heavy-footed corner guy, he needs to rake to be an impact player, but each of these issues is potentially a real problem for his future offensive output. Jesús Sánchez (who has been okay, more talented than productive) and Oscar Colás (who has really struggled) illustrate the effects of these issues. After struggling down the stretch at Triple-A toward the end of 2024, Fernandez went to the Puerto Rican Winter League and continued to flounder. He is still just 22 and has rare left-handed power; he’s a good prospect but an incredibly risky one despite his precocious mid-minors success. He should get to enough power versus righties to be a good platoon guy.
