Like I said I listened to it. He was basing that off the prospects we've traded.

It's Bob he sounds like he's about to pass out most of the time.

Nothing says successful Trade Deadline quite like grabbing Brenton Doyle and calling it a day.

I doubt its done, though.

Sox DFA'd Davitt

Ever since Getz took over, Jesse Rogers has been way more accurate than Bob

Ending the deadline on such a stinker of a trade would be sad. 🤣

Misleading. He said he “thinks” they are done. And we know he’s a mouthpiece - so it could be an attempt to get an offer accepted.

We’re adding a catcher, Bob you f***.

Jesse is probably the best Sox insider.

In general, seems like Sox aren't too leaky.

Not getting another catcher today would be a dereliction of duty..

Although watching Romo run us out of challenges in the playoffs in the 1st inning would be amusing

Imagine the quotes if they get no catcher after Getz came out yesterday basically stating they would be acquiring one

I think relaying on a guy who has put up wRC+’s of 50 to 60 the past two years to be your short side platoon CF during a playoff push is a fairly risky. Not sure how that’s really a contentious opinion, but to each their own.

I don’t think they’re really depending on him turning it around this year with that bat - that I feel is their hope for 27 - 29… with a small hope that it could happen this year.

But this year their primary focus in center is having GG defense out there, getting Peters some rest to help him get back on track at the dish, etc.

They have plenty of offense elsewhere - especially if they add a catcher like Stephenson.

Well it's amusing when it happens

Stephenson has top-notch plate discipline, no surprise that Getz would like him.

Reds just waiting for some team to flinch and overpay for Stephenson with all the suitors for a catcher.

Just get it done at this point

Yup, they're waiting for the bidding war.

What rental catchers are left at this point and who still needs them?

Stephenson is the big one left. Heim is still available correct? Who else?

Yankees and us are the two teams who are desperate for a catcher. Who else?

That's about it.

FWIW, Stephenson is a pretty bad defender. Great at blocking, terrible framer, so-so thrower. Sox seem to care about that stuff.
