We have two LF only OF’ers and add a LF’er. Our best ML ready prospect plays 1B, and we added a 1Bman. Maybe we trade Dugo or Duran in the off-season and Pham platoons with the other. Maybe we trade Casas for pitching or a catcher, but I’m not seeing how this improves us much going forward. Maybe a better defensive catcher and the prospects are the gems in these deals, but I’m not feeling any excitement over this day.

I thought we might be buyers and sellers, but this was so much of a yawn, it’s hard for me to figure out the reasoning on anything but the Vaz trade. I was on the road all day, so this is just my first impression, and it’s meh.
-
Any word on how good these two are?
-
I wonder if they see a possible tweak suggestion that will set them in a better direction. I see no other reason that makes sense.
-
This whole mistreating Vaz thing is what posters bash the media for doing.
-
If Diekman and Gallo can be traded, let’s trade Franchy and Brasier while the GMs are still drunk!
-
Lester and Betts didn’t so he is not allowed to.
-
Sound like the Sox really screwed Vaz over! Lol
-
Mahle to the Twins.
-
Brandon Marsh for Logan O’Hoppe. I wonder if the Phillies would have taken Verdugo or Duran.
-
Except with CERA.
-
Don’t “need to” but if it improves the return, why not? Unless we can get under the tax line by not doing so.
-
How about Cordero and Northcut to SD?
-
And 17 errors!
-
Better return if we pay. Maybe more teams interested, too.
-
If we end up getting nothing for Eovaldi and JD, my head will be itching like mad! I wonder if Strahm, Wacha or Hill have any value, if we pay most of their remaining salaries.
-
Getting rid of Hosmer was big. Who was the poster all hot and bothered about us signing Hosmer?
-
I did not know about the option, but I've been arguing we have 2 LF-ONLY OF'ers on the team that is in desperate need of a CF/RF'er. Now, we have 3. Maybe we extend Pham and trade Duran & Dudo. Make it 3D: Duran, Dugo & Dalbec!
-
I read somewhere, a trade of JD would get us under the tax line for '22.
-
If we paid the full boat, I think several teams would give up a nice return. With no money added, maybe something like what we got for Vaz or a little better.

Time For the Hypo Trade Talks to Begin ?
moonslav59 replied to vegasbob's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
He got a defensive-minded catcher, who bats lefty, for someone who should have been DFA'd (Diekman). Apparently, McQuire does well with pitchers and has 2 more years of team control, but is out of options. His .646 career OPS is about 50 below Vaz's and 10 below Plawecki's.[/b The Vaz deal may work out well, for us, but it's hard to know, right now. The Pham deal is puzzling, even if we give up nothing. Let's see what Nate & JD net us. I wonder if Strahm has any value. -

Hey, we beat a good team! -
His good start, tonight, might put an interested GM over the hump.
-
The Yanks got better with this and other trades, but their future was hurt. I must have suggested dozens of Montas Trivino trades to the Sox on BTV. I guess it makes more sense for a PED guy to join the Yanks.

Could it be a pitching slump? Could his ERA be heading towards Pivettaland?
