Prospects with Future Value of 45 are never “expendable.” He may never make the majors, but certainly he could and should have been worth more in a trade than 2 career minor leaguers sitting on the waiver wire...
-
So.... then Snell was a free agent?
-
Unavailable due to COVID IL...
-
Snell was not a free agent. They acquired RHP Luis Patino for him. Patino is a consensus top 20 prospect in all of MLB...
-
.... which will require surgery and sideline him for 6-8 weeks...
-
Fangraphs gives him a Future Value of 45, which places him in the top 10 in their Sox rankings, tied with Song, Duran, Houck, Dalbec and Seabold. Only Casas, Downs, Mata and Jimenez have a greater FV in their system....

True. 24 hours ago a best case scenario was they cleared waivers and accepted MiLB deals. I suppose there is always some concern about what we are giving up if Tampa wants them. Sogard might be an interesting one, too. .405 OBP in A ball as a 21yo in 2019 is not so bad at all. Not exactly blue chip material. but shows some promise in that regard...
-
And he would immediately leap to the top of the Sox catching prospect list by default, especially if Connor Wong cannot stick at catcher (which he struggled to in LA)...
-
Sad
-
Yes.
-
I’d be ok with both. And Brandon Workman needs a good home, too...
-
I agree but going over with 2022 in mind (Odorizzi?) would make sense to me...
-
Although there is absolutely no harm in going over thr tax limit...

Can we get past this at some point? Plenty of GMs have made their name on small market teams only to be hired by bigger markets due to their success. (We've seen it in Boston - Dan Duquette, for example.) And not one of them adopted the small market mentality with their new team. Andrew Friedman with the Dodgers is another incredibly obvious example, as he is not only a big spender, as of right now, he is the biggest spender ever...

A move only slightly less surprising than the rising of the sun this morning...

19 down, 21 to go?

I thought draft picks could now be dealt after the World Series of their draft year. And if the Sox are getting some 2020 draft picks, collegiate players are not always a long way off. If the PTBNL from the Mets is RHP J.T. Ginn (2020 2nd rounder from Mississippi State), he turns 22 in a couple months and might even be in AA by the end of the upcoing season. Jumping from AA to MLB is far from unheard of...

And can we get Brice out of there? What is a post-COVID Taylor ?
-
You're only proving my point...
-
Whether you like his judgement or not, he is the guy making the calls in Pittsburgh...
-
moon's proposed deal is a salary dump for the Pirates, who could actually use Chavis at 1B where they only seem to have LHH Colin Moran, who is not exactly a contact machine himself (26% K rate). And Pitt GM Ben Cherington apparently liked Chavis enough at one point to take him in the first round...
-
Well, the GM of the Pirates did draft Chavis in the first round.
-
Trade what? I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox made no more additions. I will be disappointed, but I won't be surprised...
-
Well, I did not know he vacationed there 7 years ago!! That changes everything! The problem with the Mariners is they have a talented young CF in Kyle Lewis. And Bradley is not an "outfielder." He is a "centerfielder". Playing him in either corner is misusing him...
-
Straw is a formal infielder with lightning speed. They can find multiple ways to get the 2019 version into the lineup. The obvious other CF still looking for work is Brett Gardner, not Dyson, who is a career backup on a good day. Now if the Astros sign Gardner for CF, that really leaves JBJ scrambing, with his non-Sox options suddenly looking to include the Chunichi Dragons...
