10 hours ago10 hr This doesn't mean "don't be afraid to trade prospects because they don't pan out". This means "teams don't trade their good prospects".

If you disagree please tell me a time a GM traded for the equivalent of the NLDS MVP (if they gave one out it would have gone to Joc Pederson), the NLCS MVP (Dodger killer Eddie Rosario), and the World Series MVP (Jorge Soler) before the trade deadline.” Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by caulfield12

7 hours ago7 hr The problem is even if they don't pan out, they are still worth something - mainly the ability to have used in another trade. Hahn showed how tight the inventory was when he was already dipping into major league 'surplus' to balance the roster in '21 (lynn, kimbrel trades) and had nothing left that was plausibly valuable in 22 to get a difference maker.Shorter version - there is still in opportunity cost in that you can't trade them more than once, so you better be sure you target the right upgrades.

The Sox have made some epically stupid trades of prospects that really turned out. Another example is that total douchebag that the Mets traded to the North Siders. Does this mean I think the Sox should have a cowardly approach to trading prospects at this year's deadline? NO! But there's a ton of weight behind some of the 2 to 3 that do turn out. Getz has his work cut out for him this week: help put the Sox over the top while not becoming Kenny 2.0. Edited 6 hours ago6 hr by 77 Hitmen
