I get that, and I agree SEA would not give both for Anthony. Can you name a trade for Anthony, in which bot GM might agree, and you think is worth the risk?

Red Sox hitting approach - what is going on?
moonslav59 replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
At the start of the season, I listed something like 30 reasonable things that "could go right" and posited that maybe we needed 20-25 to happen to end up with a good season. I'm going to go back and try to fine that post. My guess is we probably fell about 3-5 short of my best case hope. You were not wrong. -
79-71 Woo AAA 78-60 POR AA (Won division but missed playoffs) 63-60 GRE A+ 70-62 SAL A- 35-24 FCL 27-26 DSL Blue 42-14 DSL Red (WON Championship)

So, basically you'd only agree to an absurdly lop-sided trade that the other team would never agree to. I'll as, because why? You value Anthony way more than any GM does? (I'm not trying to bust your B's- just wondering.)
-
Extending Houck would be great. I'd be fine with a Crawford one, too. Maybe Slaten is worth a gamble, at such an inexperienced point in his career.
-
Well, apparently JH swore no pitchers over 30 to long term contracts then signed Price to a mega deal. I'm not sure he ever said these words. JH also okay'd the extension to Nate for ages 29, 30, 31 and 32 and Sale to ages 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35. Now, since then, there has been nothing close to a long term deal for any FA pitcher that was even rumored to be offered. Bello's 6 year deal is it ($55M.)
-
Agreed. Some trades are pending a grade: Dugo for Fitts, Weissert & Judice (The Dugo part is about done and was not good for NYY) Urias for I Campbell (Urias has not done well.) Schreiber for Sandlin (Schreiber did okay and has another year of control) Robertson & Santos for O'Neill seems to have worked for us, but the trade is over on our end in a week- not theirs. The deadline deals sucked. The Sale deal sucked, despite Grissom still have 4 years to go.
-
Many wanted us to do more or better at the deadline, but I don't recall a single poster saying the Zef trade was bad, until after LG imploded.
-
I'd be interested in Abel or Painter for Abreu, DHam and Wikelman.

Add 4 what ifs to other teams, too, and maybe not. -
The Season Stats: AAA: 1.062 Gasper, .982 Anthony, .897 Campbell (70 ABs), .838 Meidroth, .835 Sogard, .816 Dalbec, .776 EValdez, .758 Grissom, .736 Hickey, .717 Teel (102 ABs) AA: 1.045 Campbell, .861 Gasper, .856 Anthony, .852 Teel, .850 Mayer, .815 Ehrhard (68 AB) .800 Romero (70 AB), .693 Jordan, .504 Castro A+: .998 Jh Garcia, .976 Campbell, .845 B Gonzalez, .817 Romero, .812 Castro, .677 Riemer, .584 Bleis A-: 1.063 Jo Garcia (52 AB), .882 Jh Garcia (89), .746 Bleis, .710 Arias, .684 Yuten FCL: 1.055 Arias, 1.015 Cespedes, .904 F Jimenez, .869 Riemer, .834 Asencio, .733 Nunez

I don't think so. If he's healthy for ST'ing, he'll be in the mix. It will be interesting to see how they construct their 40 man roster and how many of the 5 top prospects- all non Rule 5 players will be on it. IMO, only those on the opening day 26 will be on the 40. Anthony, Campbell, Mayer, Meidroth & Teel. The team control years may be a big part of the equation for some or all. I think Teel will not start on the 26 or 40. Only an injury or trade of a corner IF'er would give Meidroth a shot for opening day. The other 3 are in the serious opening day roster mix, IMO.

The key is knowing a lie when you hear it. I'd say the vast majority of Sox fans know they are lying and think 3 years in a row hovering around or just below .500 is proof of the lies or "sham."
-
It looks that way. 8 teams are on pace for 90 wins: 6 are NL teams (maybe BAL joins the club of 9.) 3 Teams are around a .550 winning %. (BAL, ATL, HOU) One could say 11 good teams. 13 teams are between about .470 and .530 (Call these the mediocre ones.) 5 teams are bad (.365 to .445) 3 in NL 1 team is historically horrific (CWS at .231.) Call it 6 bad teams. (3 AL-3NL) One could include PIT & TOR at .468 and TEX at .474 to say there are 9 bad teams, 10 mediocre teams and 11 good teams.

They "developed" him in 6 weeks and 14 IP?
-
It took me a while to realize this. I've always wanted him and Whitlock in the pen. Now, it's just Whit.
-
Nobody thinks .500 is acceptable. We are all pissed, but we don't have to build strawmen to make a point.
-
Man, I sure wish we still had the ZEF-A-Beast!
-
Ohtani hit is 53rd HR and stole his 54th and 55th bases of the season. A 55-55 season looks possible. 60-60 would be a miracle.
-
The Braves may miss the playoffs, so it does appear that good teams can be left out under this playoff format. They are 85-71 and 2 GB AZ and the NYM. The Braves do play the Mets, next, so they have a chance. They finish with the KCR. The Mets finish at MIL. AZ finishes at home vs SFG and SDP. Since the NYM and ATL play each other, if AZ wins out, they are in.

We won our 78th game of the season, so we can't have a worse record than 2022 and 2023. I'm not sure what the "magic number" is, but I'm sure it ain't a pretty one. We still have 3 teams ahead of us and are tied with the Rays for the 9th and 10th best record in the AL (or 6th worst.) We are 2 behind SEA with 6 to go. 3 behind MIN, who we needed to sweep. 4 behind KCR and DET. The fat lady is still singing loudly, but it would be nice to finish over .500, which would mean we'd have to go 4-2. We play 3 at TOR- day off- and 3 vs TBR, so there is a chance we could go 0-6 and finish in last or tied for last, depending on how TOR finishes. 3rd place and 82-80 would be nice, but it kinda rings hollow after we had a hopeful stretch back before the ASB.

The minor league season ended with a 7-4 loss by Woo. They were up 4-1 going into the bottom of the 9th and got the first 2 men out. Then... BB and a RE by Bobby Dee at SS, another BB, a bloop hits single, another BB and then the walk off granny by Darick Hall. 6 Unearned runs on 2 hits and 3 BBs. Anthony went 0-3 w a BB. (ended AAA at .982.) Bobby Dee had 3 hits and ended at .816. Meidroth 2-4 (.837) Woo ended up 79-71.
-
Not even at DH? How about LF Soto, CF Duran, RF Anthony and trade Abreu and Rafaela for a pitcher. (Note: I am not for spending a penny on any position player, except a small amount on a 1 year back-up catcher to bridge to Teel or a RHB, assuming we trade a LHB or two.
