  1. Since they’re clearly not trying to win this year, Chapman is absolutely a guy we should trade. He’s an old reliever on a 1 year deal. If someone overpays for him, accept asap.
  2. Maybe they can replicate the Sale Trade and deal Crotchet somewhere and pay his salary and see if he can win a cy young while we pay him to do so on another team. Possible the Marlins would deal -0.8 WAR Matt Mervis for Crotchet? Seems like a good Vaughn Grissom comp!
  3. Imagine what they could do with all the money they saved by trading Devers. Maybe they could sign another Trevor Story, Lucas Giolito, Corey Kluber, Walker Buehler and Yoshida!!!
  4. And it was after they traded Mookie and let Xander go. What is your point?
  5. Because ownership has become cheap and stupid. They’ve been “building for the future” since trading Mookie 5 years ago. So I’m supposed to be excited that MAYBE year 6 is when the rebuild finally completes???
  6. I also dont think I’d have a team who just got swept by an inept team this weekend high on my list. The same team that lost a bidding war to another team in the same state for a superstar player…
  7. And I’m supposed to care why? I’m not a soccer fan. I don’t care if John Henry is struggling to build a soccer contender. If he can’t afford to make all the teams he owns competitive, sell the Sox to someone who will.
  8. Let’s look at the positives. At least John Henry saved more money for his soccer team. That’s all that really matters anyway, right?
  9. That’s my problem, how long does this “rebuild” last? They’ve made the playoffs once since 2018. Every other year has been 3rd or 5th place finish. Trading a 28 year old elite hitter in his prime for a mediocre package to “save money” doesn’t seem like it’s doing a whole lot to be competitive in year 5 of the rebuild.
  10. Logan Gilbert is a really good pitcher. Luckily the Sox traded their best hitter before facing him!
  11. If the argument for this being a good trade is “Devers won’t earn his contract” it’s a bad argument. It’s not our money and ownership has been refusing to spend money as of late. Devers is one of the best hitters in baseball and is legitimately feared by other pitchers. On top of that he kills the Yankees and performs very well in the playoffs. Replacing a bat like Devers isn’t easy. 30 homer/100 RBI bats with a career OPS under .850 don’t grow on trees. The front office and ownership traded a superstar and fan favorite for a mediocre return and I’m supposed to be happy they have more money to “spend?” Yeah, f*** that. They likely won’t even spend the money or another star or plan on using whatever they do spend on more injury prone 1 year rental pitchers like Paxton, Giolito, Buehler and etc. The Red Sox absolutely got worse in 2025 and near future and there is no guarantee at all this makes them better in distant future.
  12. Exactly. I don’t like the trade at all. I despised the Mookie trade and feel the same way about this one
  13. All my Yankee fan friends sure are excited. They traded Devers hours after he hit a homer against them (AGAIN). I just can’t fathom the fact they traded one of best hitters in entire league in his prime.
  14. This trade really pisses me off. There is a very high chance this ends up like another Mookie Betts trade.
  15. Kind of funny that right when Bobby Abreu’s career ended, Jose Abreu’s began. Now that Jose Abreu’s career is ending, maybe the torch is being passed to the next great Abreu, Wilyer!
  16. Which is odd to me. It’s not like Abreu is an uncommon last name, especially in baseball. Most my life there has been an all star with the last name Abreu in the league and multiple relief pitchers and such. Jose Abreu, Bobby Abreu, Bryan Abreu, Albert Abreu, etc.
  17. He literally refused to pinch hit in a game once because he was mad he didn’t start and he literally forced a trade by refusing to play in games and faking injuries… and was suspended for taking steroids and went to jail for hitting his wife not to mention all the other s*** he did both on and off the field. He was MUCH worse than Devers, he just got away with it because he was a hall of fame level hitter
  18. Bernardino is a relief pitcher and he has 4 errors this season. How the hell is that even possible?
  19. He called that exact pitch a ball last inning to walk in a run.
