  1. Finally!
  2. He didn't want to sign Bregman initially per reports. It was all Cora. There was internal strife over it.
  3. He should fire whatever scout convinced him of that. 689 OPS in GRE. No power projection. Not a CF defensive profile. Not a burner.
  4. Nate Eaton is 28, 6 years older than Ehrhard. We already know his ceiling.
  5. It's not really the other way IMO. Priester (P) for Holobetz (P), Rodriguez (OF), Phillips (P) Breslow probably believed whoever they took with the Phillips pick would be as good as Priester eventually and they used it on a pitcher, not a hitter.
  6. He's a longshot to be a starter, but not a longshot to come up and provide value like Nate Eaton. Sox need guys like that rather than the Abraham Almontes of the world.
  7. Bieber is already pitching in MiLB right now. He'll definitely be back. TOR writers are all giving them about a B.
  8. He traded it because he received VALUE. All he cares about is how the deal looks on the screen. It's not a holistic approach.
  9. Just Tibbs for May would have been an overpay IMO.
  10. The Serial podcast guy?
  11. I'd rather have Bieber, Varland and Dominguez than May and Matz.
  12. That Priester deal is ROUGH if you're trying to compete this year and suffer any pitcher injuries. The Devers trade for Hicks, Harrison, May and Bello now solely hinges on unused salary relief and Harrison. Kyle better bring it when he's called up soon. I think Breslow made some smart offseason moves this year, but his tenure has been a bit of a mixed bag to say the least.
  13. The Sox grossly overpaid for May.
  14. More injury prone than Marcelo Mayer.
  15. I try not to be optimistic or pessimistic. I just go day by day. Sometimes I look at another team and say "wow, that team is on a bit of a roll and could be trouble" and boy people don't like that! I think this team is better than it has been since '21. It's still exhibiting some frustrating signs that kind of push down my beliefs that they could have a cinderella run (bad, dumb baseball that is played too often). I don't know, I just expect more out of the Red Sox than what we've seen lately. This team is good, but I expect a little more out of a contender and a CBO that says "we'll be buyers" and an ownership group that says the goal is to get to the playoffs. Sam was asked if Breslow had ownership's blessing to be big player's at the deadline and add salary. What happened? It's just all talk from this group and it just has beaten me down this year.
  16. Playoff crapshoot theory (6th seeds): 2022 - TBR loses in WC, PHI makes WS 2023 - TOR loses in WC, AZ makes WS 2024 - DET makes ALDS, NYM makes NLCS
  17. Considering that Fenway park is the #1 rated doubles park, they better be near the top of that category every year. Triples: Duran (12, leads MLB), Rafaela/Romy (3).
  18. Brandon Clarke is a top 100 prospect. The prospects and org are highly rated. My guess is that Breslow is hesitant to move on from any of the young pitchers. He only dealt offensive guys: Tibbs (hasn't hit since coming here), Ehrhard (lower ranked guy) and Blaze (Rule 5).
  19. You will NEVER get a value deal at the deadline unless you are the seller.
  20. There is a greater than zero chance he never plays a MLB game again. I know some people want to disagree with me because their buddy down the street had that injury and is now playing pickleball at 50% or whatever.
  21. The only guys I wouldn't have included in a deal for Ryan would be: Tolle, Anthony, Narvaez, Bello and maybe Rafaela. That doesn't make those guys the 5 best players on the team or anything, it's just five guys I wouldn't put in that trade for various reasons at this deadline.
