No. It was a bit of a shocker, especially when Dalbec was on fire, and it looked like 1B was the only place to play him.
The Robles, Davis and Shaw deals were certainly under the radar. The Iggy deal, made later, was also one.
I'm expecting may be 2 under the radar deals, but I think B loom might make one bigger deal. The JD, Bogey, Nate window is closing.
We will have a roster crunch with Rule 5 and future FA signings, despite all the departing contracts, so he has a group of players he might know won't make the cut, next year, but still have trade value now. How much trade value do borderline 40 man roster Sox players have? Maybe not much, but maybe just enough.
Certainly, our borderline players are better, now, than the last few deadlines.
