    There's no way in heck that's going to happen. Lets not be unrealistic. One is long shot enough at this point. Also, despite it being controversial here, I want Mayer to play I want room for the youngsters to grow alongside some Vets added to the lineup. Contreras and Bregman fit the bill to go along with Roman Anthony/Marcel Mayer.
  2. Hugh2
    No you'd need one, but there's the consensus in here that you'd have to trade Mayer to get Marte, or at the very least that is the demand. If you true, you'd need to get two.

    I highly doubt they're going to add two more infielders. I think it's one and done. I'm ok with Bregman/Marte/Bichette I just don't think they're going to do it unless they clear out some more payroll. Then again, if Mayer is a platoon player you need two more infielders right now not 1 which makes this trade even more vaible then. As you could trade for Baty and sign someone like Bo

    I've been pretty clear on it not having to be Duran, but having 4 starting caliber outfielders and only 2 - 2/3 infielders makes the solution pretty obvious.
  5. Hugh2
    What about a Brett Baty for Jarren Duran trade? Solves the OF logjam and fills in the infield nicely. Baty/Story/Mayer/Contreras is a nice mix of youth and veteran leadership and should be the best infield defense we've had in years.
  6. Hugh2
    Reportedly they're out of the Marte market after trading for Contreras. Leading me to believe they're more in on Bregman than Marte.
  7. Hugh2
    They probably want to spread out how the aquire talent. They've already used up a lot of prospect capital this offseason, so it could be a signal that they're ready to spend on and IF.....or not.
  8. Hugh2
    You have 4 starting caliber players for 3 positions. I don't understand the "you don't do this" argument when that's literally what you do. That's what teams do, when they have surplus they trade it.
  9. Hugh2
    Ok, so then you trade Duran. You don't need a starter sitting the bench when you have holes elsewhere on the roster. Also, teams that win the world series typically make moves at the deadline. Craig is obviously not afraid to make moves, if given the green light by managment I would like him to have som ammunition in July.

    I think they still have to trade from their outfield surplus. Duran, Rafaela, Anthony, and Abreu. I think you got to view those 4 as starters and trade one not named Anthony. Rafaela/Duran saves you $6.25/$7.7 in money so those two make the most sense. you could logically trade one of those guys for a prospect haul to restock your farm and use the savings to invest in a Bichette/Bregman FA. I’d still be interested in Marte, but I wonder if the Sox can stomach a further depletion of the farm and given the cost to acquire talent you’d think Marte would cost a random. really makes me think what Duran could get them in a return. theres been a lot of speculation about whether or not Casas is going to be ready by opening day. I think this seals his fate in WOO. If the stay is long enough the Sox will gain an extra year of control. Casas will need to hit his way back……and I hope he does

    I mean, Alonso was my first choice but I could like Contreras more if it mean they’re going to go out and get one of Bregman/Bichette/Marte
  12. Hugh2
    Also better than what was left on the market, and it improves the infield defense.
  13. Hugh2
    Sounds like the Sox are pulling out of trade talks for Marte
  14. Hugh2
    Yes I did
  15. Hugh2
    Contreras was the guy I wanted them to get for 1B after Alonso came off the board. now sign BO/AB and sign Duran to replenish the system. And you’re good to go for 2026
  16. Hugh2
    Blake Aita, and Yohoiker Fajardo also heading over in the deal along with Dobbins
  17. Hugh2
    Dobbins plus. Maybe Sandlin too? I think we are receiving money as well.
  18. Hugh2
    This shows me that no one was really interested. It took a garbage organization to swoop in and give him two years.
  19. Hugh2
    Better 1-2 punch than Tolle-Early 1. Bubba Chandler and Seth Hernandez 2. Nolan McClean and Jonah Tong 3. Kade Anderson & Ryan Sloan and possibly a few others……for now
  20. Hugh2
    I’m not surprised at all, never understood the hype around him when every scouting report out there was a bunch of red flags. i laughed when I read the mlbtraderumors 180 million projection
  21. Hugh2
    Absolutely 💯 not the farm but what truly counts.
  22. Hugh2
    If Murakami was on the Red Sox board I’m very happy someone else came and took him off of it.
  23. Hugh2
    Correction, I believe Tanner Houck also had one all star game
  24. Hugh2
    C. Narvaez 1B. Okamoto 2B. Mayer SS. Story 3B Bregman LF Anthony CF Rafaela RF Abreu DH Duran/Yoshida Rotation: Crochet/Gray/Bello/Oviedo/Crawford

    Every team, even the ones who don't draft and develop well are going to have a handful of MLBers on their team over the course of a 5 years. It's not like any of those guys are needle movers (Durans 2024 different story). But besides Tanner Houck & Tristan Casas, I bet DD didn't know any of those guys names until after they were signed. But 6 guys in 4 years of which only one has been an All star one time isn't exactly a huge flex. I do agree that "he emptied the farm" was way overblown. He was doing what he was hired to do, in his younger days he did a phenomenal job building up the Expos farm system.
