December 10, 2025Dec 10 I think we can all agree that Quero only playing twice a week is dumb and he needs to play to keep developing. 1B may not be ideal long term, but it’s better than him riding the bench burning service time for nothing.
December 10, 2025Dec 10 Sure....max out the potential trade returns for Vargas Sosa and maybe/probably even Meidroth over the next two seasons. Let Quero hit somewhere in the lineup at least 5 times per week. Dump Mead.

That tells you how fortunate we should feel right now.

That tells you how fortunate we should feel right now. Not sure Mead had the best overall odds of reaching base vis a vis his teammates. Most Sox fans were probably expecting 6-7 though. Was 7 even a possibility? They should have put 10-12 on the board from the very beginning but "revealed" them just for more dramatic effect I guess. Same with the following year's Sox pick one year from now...automatically in that 10-17/18 range.

December 10, 2025Dec 10 10 hours ago, Snopek said: I definitely get that. I'm not all in on trading Quero by any means. But you can always look at it the other way too. If Teel ends up being the guy they and many of us think he can be while Quero regresses or fails to further develop, then you may have missed a great opportunity to bring in a potential future starting OF. It's definitely a risk. Trades are hard! That's why I would completely suck ass as a GM. Well, that and 100 other reasons. That makes you highly qualified to be the Sox GM

December 11, 2025Dec 11 Just spitballing Quero/Robert to the Reds for Sal Stewart & a top 6 prospect? don’t know that the Reds would trade Stewart but if so getting him back would be a solid get kid can hit

Reds had the perfect opportunity to sign hometown kid Schwarber and passed. They were one legit middle of the order hitter away. Will probably end up trading Hunter Greene for prospects instead.
