Welcome! It's definitely real now.

[Jasonbay44]

Rumor is the return is:

Anthony Eyanson
Enddy Azocar
Kyson Witherspoon
Harold Rivas
Carlos Narvaez

I saw that on Twitter as well. If that is the package, I’m okay with it. 

That's worth 2 years of Rutschman, imo.  So even if he is out for another month, I'd still make the trade.  Even if he was out for the year, I think we'd come out ahead.  So long as it isn't chronic and something he'll have to deal with forever.

But only if they all travel in the same car.

MLBTR confirmed Eyanson, but wasn’t sure if he was the only prospect..,

Need to put up real prospects to get a real player.

Where'd you see that? That's a big return for only 1.5 years of Adley.

But 3 top 5 prospects, in a good farm system, for a player currently on IL that is having a down year and needs to be extended?

Not sure I love that logic. 

[Hugh2]

Ummm, are we extending Adley???

Welcome….. and why? Seems very normal haul for an all star catcher. 

[moonslav59]

If it's just Eyanson, that's a steep price, as it is.

Eyanson and Narvaez would make some sense, but I hope it's no more than those two.

Rut better get healthy quick or he's gonna learn what the Sox Nation wrath can feel like.

Thanks! Been lurking for a while, figured I might as well step in the ring. Today seemed as good a day as any. 

Top 2 RHP prospects (both of whom I'm very high on) 

for a guy who is on the IL and also having a down year? 

If this was Adley and an arm, or Adley and Holliday, sure. But 4 of your top 20 prospects, and NarvDog to an inter-division team? For just Adley? That's a jagged pill, personally.

Hefty, but it makes a lot more sense than the previous rumor.  If true, then I certainly hope he is an immediate contributor.

Rivas may or may not be in the deal? I really like Rivas. 

Craig really wanted Adley, that's for sure. 

[Jasonbay44]

There is a lot of best reporters debating on if Rivas is involved, but sounds like other 4 guys are definitely in the deal. Seems like a steep haul

That's a lot of returm so I guess they are going t extend him.

Almost everywhere…

[UtahSox]

I mean it’s a big price but Eyanson is legit. He is only top 100 prospect. Other guys are a couple years away

A few of the Baltimore guys I follow because I live in Maryland are reporting Rivas is not involved, but Rosenthal said he is involved, so not really fully sure on him.

Ouch!  I thought we had him 2.5 years.  That seems like a high price to pay.

[SellySox]

Only thing I'm REALLY upset about is giving up both Eyanson and Witherspoon. Was hoping to keep 1 of them. 

 

However, some damn fire power if Adley is healthy.

Who is running the medical reviews? Our staff? good luck with that!

Rodney Dangerfield’s doctor— Benny Boombatz. 😂

[UtahSox]

2 arms…. But We have to admit that we can develop young pitching. And Eyanson most likely wasn’t going to help MLB team til late 2027. We can replenish the farm arms in next 18 months…. LFG

Yeah giving up both is my only issue also. Other guys I understand involving for Adley, but both Witherspoon and Eyanson seems like an overpay, but we’ll see.

MLBTR has confirmed Eyanson, Witherspoon, Narvaez, and Azocar.  Rivas is not mentioned, but there is a PTBNL.

Boston also gets catcher Jake Rogers.

Going out on a limb - the PTBNL is conditional based on either Adley’s playing time or his IL time…
