That said, I could see making that trade except for the fact that Ray’s stuff has ticked way down and he doesn’t throw enough strikes. I would be afraid to take him out of that park. Trade those three for someone slightly better?
2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, Timmy U said:I like Adams a lot but he is exactly the type of player you trade at the deadline: a 25 year old mid-rotation to backend starter who has to be protected on the 40 at the end of the year. With the roster crunch the Sox are facing, they’ll lose a few of these guys for nothing fairly soon anyway.If you think he can be a mid rotation guy, you don’t trade him for two months of an ok rental catcher. If his ceiling is just a back of the rotation type, then the calculus changes. To me, it just comes down to his newfound velocity and how that changes things for him.

Who are you getting that's going to give you say, 30% better production than what we have at the 4th or 5th starter spot not just this year but the next couple as well?Adams could be that guy himself, maybe not 30% better, but say 20%.The Dane Dunning trade come to mind, that one didn't really come back to bite us as he got hurt again, but it also wasn't a good trade by process or by results was just mediocre.

I don't see the Sox trading sandlin or any top 10 prospects for a mediocre rental who's being paid like an aceI would hope the Sox would just say they'll pick up the rest of his salary and offer them one or two in the 15-20 range

I think the Dunning for Lynn trade worked for the Sox. Lynn was a key part in 2021 and pretty good in 2022 too. He did what they hoped he would do when they acquired him.

1 hour ago1 hr Ray is almost 35 and JR will pay him $8.33 million for two months of pedestrian work, especially moving over from a homer-preventing stadium to GRF?And give away 2-3 prospects to boot?

1 hour ago1 hr Looks like light hitting Outman trying to block Skubal trade.Three run homer to put Detroit up late…Surely Josh Rojas will save KC with Witt out.Detroit would pull to 49-54 with Houston Balt Minnesota and Seattle or Texas ahead. Would be 4 gb for WC, 6 for Central.All signs are Minnesota being willing to sell anyone but Buxton (can refuse any trade) and the young core players… Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by caulfield12

1 hour ago1 hr Wonder what the price of Trevor Rogers and Rico Garcia would be from Baltimore? Both are rentals that shouldn’t cost a ton and would fill roles nicely for us
