    A reliever in A ball that isn't in the top 20? That's easily replaceable.

    I believe managers eventually have a shelf life. If the players were no longer willing to play for their "boss," they needed to find a new one. The only panic part of the move was grabbing Bobby V because they "needed" the polar opposite of Tito (I guess that meant a terrible manager, who has a bad track record and would tank an entire season for his own ego). There's actually a nice conspiracy out there that the FO signed Bobby so that the players would revolt and the FO would be able to clean house. I'm 51/49 on that one. Not sure the FO has shown itself to be that forward thinking.

    Ok, but I believe moon's point was that Ben had a much more difficult time fixing Theo's roster than DD will have fixing Ben's. I just don't agree with that at all. Ben got a perfectly fine roster and farm system. DD got a slightly better farm system, but a MLB team that was in the midst of back to back last place finishes.

    http://www.weei.com/blogs/alex-reimer/report-red-sox-using-back-channel-efforts-schedule-meeting-between-dennis?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter An unapologetic David Price told reporters Saturday he will speak with Dennis Eckersley “face-to-face” about their month-old airplane confrontation. But apparently, no meeting between the two pitchers has been scheduled. The Boston Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy reports there are currently no plans for Price and Eckersley to meet up, despite “back-channel efforts” by Red Sox officials. Price has not spoken with Eckersley since he berated him on the team plane in late June. This is just nonsense right now. Thanks Farrell! They should have squashed this on day one.

    As I said elsewhere, the trade is fine. It's market value for a reliever at the deadline.
  6. mvp 78
    Why?
  7. mvp 78
    Bautista and Nogosek
  8. mvp 78
    When all the SoxProspects guys are saying that the trade is good, there's no reason worrying about an overpay.
  9. mvp 78
    Callahan was rule V eligible too.

    @redsoxstats The trade was generally fair market price, people seem upset with facts though. A lot of people complaining on twitter than DD got fleeced again and that it was too much to pay. Well, that's the price to do business at the trade deadline. The price paid was also pretty meager to begin with. Sox need an extra BP arm since Thornburg and Smith aren't coming along well, Kelly is injured, Hembree sucks and Barnes is unreliable.

    @IanCundall RHP Gerson Bautista: Skinny, long. Effort, struggles to repeat delivery. FB 94-97 T100. Poor command. Fringy SL & CH http://bit.ly/2uctWMv @IanCundall RHP Stephen Nogosek. 2016 6th rd pick. Max effort delivery. FB 92-94 T96. Power SL 85-87. Inconsistent CH 84-86. http://bit.ly/2tWGDzG @IanCundall RHP Jamie Callahan: FB 92-95 w/life, touches higher. Flash above-average Split & SL. Close to MLB ready. RP profile. http://bit.ly/2wdSTIU I was surprised Callahan didn't get a look in Boston this year.

    How much blame do you put on Chili Davis? I think there is a little merit to Ortiz helping the rest of the lineup when he was playing, but I'm not sure it's the biggest reason for the slump they are currently in.
  13. mvp 78
    Reed could flame out and the Sox wouldn't really notice the loss of those 3 guys.
  14. mvp 78
    Yup, it's a good trade. Anyone after #20 is completely expendable in this farm system.
  15. mvp 78
    @alexspeier It's Jamie Callahan, Gerson Bautista, and Stephen Nogosek to the Mets in the agreement for Addison Reed.
  16. mvp 78
    That's be a perfectly acceptable trade.
  17. mvp 78
    If they give 2 top 20 prospects, the trade is dumb. Beeks, Shawaryn and another guy would be an overpay.
  18. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Say a quick hail mary about sending out 3 prospects for a rental setup man. Neshek got Rox #21 and 2 sub-30s.
  19. mvp 78
    Then why is everyone else having a down year? Coincidence? Ortiz has a great baseball mind. Maybe having him not in the clubhouse is hurting other players' approach to a pitcher?
  20. mvp 78
    Prospects are all pitchers, per sources.
  21. mvp 78
    @alexspeier Heard that Groome and Mata are NOT involved in this deal with the Mets for Reed.
  22. mvp 78
    harmony, Happy 20th anniversary to the Slocumb trade!
  23. mvp 78
    Unpopular Opinion Alert The 2011 Sox were a good team. If they kept Theo and didn't hire BV, they wouldn't have had a fire sale in August 2012.
  24. mvp 78
    That is very true too.
  25. mvp 78
    Wright and Pomeranz were also dealing with injuries in the offseason. Wright never fully recovered from Farrell's hit job.
