Currently, all picks are signed except for Riemer, Call, Schlaegel, Orloski. The 3 HS guys are most likely not going to sign. "Sources" have indicated that Riemer will sign before the deadline (Tuesday 5pm), that the hold up was just logistics of getting him to either Boston or the Fort. If he signs, it seems like it's another strong hitter focused draft.

He doesn't know how to build a bullpen though.

His defense f***ing sucks though.

Since May 1: 290 AVG 908 OPS 145 wRC+ We all knew his April was terrible. He can't go back and fix that. He's been very good since then. No complaints.

What team will have better trade deadline acquisitions than Story, Sale, Whitlock and Houck?!?!?

Red Sox infielder Pablo Reyes has been on the injured list for just over a month due to an abdominal strain, and most of that time has been spent on a rehab assignment. That rehab assignment is set to expire today, meaning the club will be forced to either roster or DFA Reyes, who is out of options, by the start of tomorrow’s game. That will create a logjam of middle infielders who can’t be optioned on the roster, with Enrique Hernandez, Yu Chang, and Christian Arroyo all also fitting that description. While this logjam would seemingly create a situation where the Red Sox must trade or DFA a player in that group, MLB.com’s Ian Browne indicated yesterday that Arroyo is dealing with a jammed right thumb. If Arroyo, who hasn’t played since July 18, were to require a trip to the 10-day injured list, that would kick the can down the road for Boston until after the trade deadline on August 1, allowing them to keep all four players in the organization for longer and preserve leverage in trade negotiations.

The knock was that he added in too many prospects as throw ins that didn't need to be added. He would just throw in additional guys to sweeten the pot.

If people keep repeating stuff enough, maybe it'll be true though!

@jimcallisMLB 1st-rder Kyle Teel signs w/@RedSox for $4 million (pick 14 value = $4,663,100). @UVABaseball C, consensus best catcher in @MLBDraft, monster .407/.465/.655 year, very athletic for position, strong arm. Teel goes for $663k under slot.

@redsoxstats Senga's coming into Fenway tonight pitching like a stud. In his last 8 starts, he has a 2.45 ERA, .175 BAA, and 31% K rate. In his 2 starts in July, he pitched 14 innings, 2 R, 3 BB, 21 K. Over the past month, batters have swung at 46 forkballs and whiffed 30 times.

Perales will finally make his GRE debut today in the first game of the double header.

Antonio Anderson $1,500,000 - agreed to terms for overslot deal, officially signing in Boston on Saturday. Bonus # unclear. 4. Matt Duffy $450,000 - reported to already have a slightly underslot deal, in FTM 4. Kristian Campbell $492,700 (signed) 4. Justin Riemer $200,000 5. Connelly Early $408,500 (signed) 6.

Phoenix Call 17. Dylan Schlaegel 20. Robert Orloski If Mike's numbers are right, Call, Schlaegel and Orloski won't sign.

According to the Denver Post, the Colorado Rockies are moving the former Boston Red Sox starting pitcher to a relief role after a rough run this season. Seabold has gone 1-7 with a 7.18 ERA this season in 20 games, including 13 starts. Seabold’s ERA in games he started was 7.63.

@SPChrisHatfield My guess (hope?) is we get a draft signing announcement for most of the Red Sox class today. Seems everyone is putting pen to paper who's in Ft. Myers. In theory, they could wait for Teel and Zanetello, the latter having told @ChrisCotillo he's signing tomorrow. @ChrisCotillo I think a release is coming today. Teel BP likely today at Fenway

Crawford vs Senga

Oh, then the Sox should go get a guy from the Rays to run the org then!

Everyone posts this way.

Whitlock was a good pick. Was Winckowski enough of a return for Andrew Benintendi??? Does anyone think this? Betts for Wong/Verdugo? Still doesn't feel like enough for a HOF RFer. Bernardino? No comment. Valdez/Abreu for Vaz was a good trade. Hamilton/JBJ for Renfroe was horrifically stupid.

This guy can't stop hitting right now. @SoxProspects Johanfran Garcia went 2-for-4 with a home run (4) and three RBI (26) in today's 9-4 FCL Red Sox win. The 18-year-old catcher is currently slashing .333/.429/.571 over 126 PA.

It also takes a loooong time to develop guys. People on here wonder why Bloom hasn't produced a roster of bonus babies by now. McClanahan was a college arm drafted in 2018, but he wasn't ready until 2021. Taj Bradley was drafted the same year out of HS. Their 1st round selection that year, Matthew Liberatore, signed for more than Shane AND Taj and now has a 6+ ERA (7.53 xERA) for the Cardinals and is in the bottom 1 percentile of k% for MLB.

Red Sox didn't know Blaze would be available. They did hope they could go over slot, but they were happy to select Yorke. Yorke is now a near top 100 prospect so I don't think it was a big time miss for them. Not every 1st rounder works out. That pick was good. They believed someone else would have drafted him. They loved his hit tool.

Also tied for the lead in WS wins over that time frame.

@tylermilliken_ . @keithlaw dropped his Top 60 prospects list and the Red Sox have 4 names on it. 3. Marcelo Mayer 45. Roman Anthony 48. Ceddanne Rafaela 50. Kyle Teel
