Um...are we just trying to see how many 0 tool OFers we can acquire in one season?

Jerry must be cringing every time he sees one of these trades.

I would like to think the Rays would think twice before sending us any more OF, but we'll take another AllStar

I understand how this trade was allowed (never played in the MLB this year) but don't understand how the Tommy Pham trade was allowed. Granted, it was cash considerations but still.

He killed us on the Twins IIRC, so maybe we're just acquiring every guy who's hit us well at some point? Otherwise I'm guessing this is for AAA.

He’s not on the 40 man roster I assume? If so, I’m guessing the Sox DFA Perez to make room for Thorpe and this gives some minor league OF insurance.

Good call. Probably what is going to happen.

Ah the old Mark Teahan rule

Whats sad is I like this pickup more than the Pham one and Cave won't even be on the MLB roster.

Activate tomorrow and have him start, pushing the guys who remain in the rotation back a day to give more rest. I like it.

This is like OOTP ADHD level of trading.

I gave up trying to figure out the Pham trade, we have plenty of smart posters here , they will figure it out.

It's because he was on a minor league deal but was never called up by them. I thought they couldn't appear in the majors at any point to qualify to still be traded.

Somebody get hurt?

I’m thinking just depth in case some of the main lefty outfielders do get hurt

do Pham or Cave need to be added to the 40 man? Guess not since both are on MILB deals? Not that we'd want to see Pham or Cave in the postseason, but does a player need to be on the 40man to be eligible for playoffs?

Something like the 9th or 10th micro transaction with Rays since the beginning of 2025...

Clubhouse vibes/veteran competitive "fighter"/strip club denizen/fantasy football disputer...thought they wanted to move on from those rudderless years?
