Sell because they went 2-5 against three first place teams? Yeah I bet no World Series Champion ever went 2-5 over a 7 game stretch before…

Nick Kurtz became the only player in MLB history with all of the following 1. A game with 4 HRs 2. A game with 6 hits 3. A game with 6 runs scored 4. A game with 8 RBI 5. And a game with 5 extra base hits And he did it all in the same game yesterday…

Agreed. Grissom had an .854 OPS in June and has a .992 OPS in July. What does he need to do to get a call up? Kill the Wicked Witch of the West?- 16 replies

Isn't that what you did?

So Twins fans don’t like it either? That doesn’t change that the Phillies clearly dominate this deal. In BTV, Philly gains over $50mil in surplus value, Minnesota about $10mill in surplus value and Boston loses over $40mill. Minnesota comes closest to breaking even. Boston gets destroyed in their model…

So the Phillies trade away MLB prospects #93 and #97 and get back Jarren Duran AND Johan Duran? Meanwhile thr Red Sox trade prospects #54, #72 and #100 PLUS 3 years of Jarren Duran for the marginally better package of Ryan, Jax, and the rights to pay Christian Vazquez’ salary? The goal of this trade appears to be to funnel as many prospects as possible to Minnesota regardless of which team they come from. Philly fans would love this deal. Twins fans think it’s fair. Red Sox fans would see their team get sodomized. Want to make it more fair? Boston keeps Tolle and Philly includes Aiden Miller. Probably not enough but at least Philly pays something…

7 out of 162 is not a significant number. We get caught up in the parity of MLB to think that it is, and don’t want to recognize it because it can cost hundreds of millions for teams to improve minimally…

Myself and Guardians GM Stephen Vogt still disagree. Yoshida, even free, does nothing for the Guardians except block CJ Krayfus. Arias is nice. Password is probably overrated by Sox fans. Soxprospects. calls him a “potential platoon outfielder”. So essentially - Arias for Clase? I doubt it comes close..
-
Zero chance the Sox get Clase for Yoshida, Romero, Arias, and Password…

…. while the Star Man was waiting in the sky.

Those numbers are out of 162…

Aren’t the Sox 13-3 against the Rays and Yankees?

I think I pegged Clase’s value pretty well in the Cubs trade - two BA Top 100 prospects and a controllable (but possibly fungible) MLB pitcher…

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

Hearing whispers that with the Dodgers in town, the two teams have had a conversation about a swap involving Franklin Arias and Brandon Clarke for Dalton Rushing… -

It is situational. And risky for the team loading the bases… -
The Montauk Monster is a dead raccoon, so the fight was presumably very easy. Probably even easier than taking down that toy submarine that’s been terrorizing Loch Ness for decades…

Makes sense. I mean, why pass on a chance to dine at Barnacle Bill’s? Pass on the clam chowder, as it is made with tomatoes (which is illegal in Massachusetts and a violation worthy of inclusion in the Ten Commandments), but the Arctic Char and the wood grilled salmon are proof of the existence of God…

Still only reading one line of posts, I see…

Almost 10 years ago and not really the norm. Last year Tanner Scott was the best closer dealt, and he did net Miami a solid return headlined by Robby Snelling, who was a BA Top 100 prospect. But the other 3 players were fairly nondescript, with the best being Graham Pauley, who profiles as a Romy Gonzalez type. Carlos Estevez was the second best, and he was worth two unranked pitching prospects. Clase is better than either of them, but I am not so sure he is worth much more than 3+ years of Duran. It likely comes down to whether or not Cleveland wants MLB talent or high end prospects. I don’t think he’s worth both if the talent in question is Duran. Minnesota has been asking for multiple Top 100 prospects for either Jhoan Duran (no relation) or Griffin Jax, but that’s served no purpose except ending conversations quickly. And reportedly they didn’t ask for controllable MLB talent along with prospects, let alone MLB All Star talent like Duran…

Sarcasm noted and called out so no one misses it. Also the tendency is to highlight the toughest players from the past and pretend they were the norm. Gehrig suited up every day and didn’t miss a game. Know who of his contemporaries also did that? No one!
-
What about them? Gehrig did have a reputation for not participating in those leagues and instead using his celebrity status as an off-season job. He also declined to participate in the 1934 MLB promotional tour in Japan, the one more known for espionage than baseball, as MLB player Moe Betg took several photographs of Japanese military bases that were later used in WW II…

Until TJS came along, a torn UCL wasn’t an injury; it ended your career…

It’s not about penalizing him; it’s about having some perspective. The OP threw this out there as if the game has been the same since 1876. Sure, he didn’t explicitly state Gehrig played 162 games per year, but it was also the only length of a season he acknowledged. And this is not to single out the OP; it’s a common myth among baseball fans, who say things like “today’s pitchers are soft. I remember back when Ol’ Sandy “Rapid Ryan” Gibson would throw 400 innings as a starter, another 200 as a reliever, play outfield when he didn’t pitch, and in his spare time he’d get drunk and beat up a milk horse. Back then, men were men.” And then pretend nothing changed except players getting softer. They’d ignore big factors like the schedule getting longer, the postseason expanding, the game getting faster, increases in specialized roles, escalating salaries that turn players into assets, increased international participation that expanded the talent pool, breaking the color barrier, etc…
-
But the point with Gehrig is important because it was a lot easier to be an Iron Man when the regular season was 8 games shorter and the postseason maxed out at 7 games. The real question should be “were players softer back then?” No one considers Andrew McCutchen as an Iron Man, but he played more regular season games from 2011 through 2018 than Gehrig did during any 8 year stretch of his career…
-
Gehrig never played 162 games in a season. Not even if you count the post-season…
