    Not so easy, but I suppose the package starts with Eyanson…

    Hopefully it means we’re looking for a LF and it’s a typical Breslow distraction.

    Franklin Arias. Id rather see Arias. Focus on pitching and LF…

    Now that they’ve called up Triantos, their prospects are already in MLB…

    It does seem like Breslow prefers to only make trades with former Sox executives. Getting Bennett from Toboni, Contreras and Gray from Bloom, and Oviedo from Cherington. But no one from Hoyer? You know, the Cubs have an absolute glut of infielders and infield prospects that are all blocked for the next 3 seasons. Matt Shaw, James Triantos and the most Boston-named player in MLB Pedro Ramirez. And the Cubs DESPERATELY need pitching. And, yes, all are reportedly available. Plus no rumors. It fits Breslow’s under-the-radar approach in multiple ways…

    Madrigal was older and wasn’t the same level of prospect Mayer has been, never being ranked under #40. Mayer has never been ranked over #15. I imagine his equal value to Lopez is a slow update. Or some sites are still giving Mayer very good projections…

    On the contrary, it has worked out for 4 other teams...

    Do the Sox really need any more of the multi-position utility players? Especially ones on the injured list? Morejon is an extermely talented RP that is on the very short list of woethwhile free agents after this season. He was an All Star this year, which is not something a lot of non-closing relievers do. I'd take Morejon, but not for Mayer unless he (Morejon) was paired with someoe more useful than Samad Tayor....

    They should be. They's in 5th place in the AL East and the 4th place team has already started selling. Detroit is ahead of them for a WC and is taking calls on Skubal and scratching Casey Mize from starts so he does not get hurt. Five teams are in front of them for the final wild casrd slot and it appears as though some of those teams are already dealing away players. Toronto might fight for a final spot, but it would certainly be a questionable decision...

    The whole "trades within the division" thing is overblown, especially with rental players. It actually makes a ton of sense for Toronto to trade Gausman within the division. If they are trading him, they are giving up on 2026 anyway and hoping for 2027 or later. Well, that future gets just that much easier if they take a prospect or two from a division rival as opposed to just a random team. Trades within the division happen all the time. But when you only have 4 teams in your division and 25 of them utside of it, it is easier to find trading partners outside the division. I mean, just a few days ago the Angels traded Chase Silseth and Logan O'Hoppe within their division...

    I think that is crazy. Pick on BTV all you like, but are you really saying you know their values better? In my post, I did question their evaluation of him, calling it a huge stretch. (It's probably a bit outdated. They're a small operation.) But I can't claim i understand player valuation better than they do. It's really difficult to find very many trades where a team just gave up on a top prospect that had as little experience as Mayer and dealt him for a rental player. I can only think of it happening twice . Th Athletics dealing Carlos Gonzalez (318 PA) to the Rockies for Matt Holliday The Athletics dealing Jesus Luzardo (71 IP) to the Marlins for Starling Marte I think we both see a pattern there. So only one team has ever made a trade like that. And I doubt the Sox have given up on Mayer nearly as much as many fans have. I am also 100% positive many teams value him more than you do, if not all of them. I do think Mayer could be dealt. With the rises of Durbin and Arias as well as the acquisition of Mead, he is without a position. But he isn't going for a rental, unless it is someone like Skubal. And I don't think either Boston or Detroit is looking at that deal...

    Mayer is worth more than a 2 month rental on a reliever. I doubt things change that much that rapidly in baseball that Marcelo Mayer can go from a top 15 prospect in all of baseball to bring a “almost enough” to get a rental reliever all in a span of 300 plate appearances and before he can legally rent a car. None of us know how much value he has left around the league. BTV gives him similar value to Otto Lopez, which feels like a huge stretch. But certainly he has more value than rental reliever + career minor leaguer…

    We are seeing some buyer-buyer trades lately, notably Guardians-Brewers and Pirates-Yankees. But Arozarena feels like a stretch for Seattle to deal. If Duran was somewhat hitting I could see them making a swap featuring the two left fielders. But then of Duran was somewhat hitting, Boston likely wouldn’t have any interest in Arozarena…

    I did kind of like it until I realized Samar Taylor isn’t any sort of prospect but is more of a career minor leaguer. Also he’s on the IL…

    Actually I’d argue he was worth it with his limited offense…

    You do it all the time, but this site limits my access to your history. So in the future, I promise to highlight them all for you…

    That’s all I am hoping for. The Sox have the arms, but the fear is that Bennett and Tolle lack durability. I am just hoping for someone to lighten their load…

    Probably. Singer isn’t having a great year, and is FA after the season. I like the idea of sending Mullens, who is Rule 5 eligible after the season. Uberstine and Holobetz both might be needed this year. Phillips seems like a lot, but he definitely gets the job done. Hey, sometimes you overpay…

    Gray is a free agent. Until Breslow extends him, Gray is leaving before next year. Unless his mutual option gets mutually exercised, but that almost never happens. None of this needs to be confirmed by Breslow…

    He also think radio ratings exceed internet traffic. I mean, this is one of the smaller forums out there. Comparing us to public radio waves is laughable. But the overall online community that makes up the hundreds of Red Sox forums around the entire internet just flat out dwarfs WEEI listenership by a factor of thousands…
