    The package for Ryan was Tolle, Arias, Garcia+ honestly, if the Twins said no I don’t blame Breslow from walking away. FWIW no one was able to trade for Ryan, as a matter of fact a lot of the high end starters I thought might be available didn’t go anywhere at the deadline. i don’t want a GM/POBO who makes a move just to make a headline, if the price was really that high, so high a lot of other teams weren’t trading for elite starting pitching, then I can forgive. but there were 1b/C who went at the deadline who would have been upgrades, and weren’t going to cost you Tolle. Are they banking on Cambell coming back up soon?

    Better than Wilson this year

    Dustin May was a top prospect at one point. Have to think the Sox see something in him that can be fixed. that would be fine but…..he’s a rental. By the time they “fix” him if he is fixable he will probably be elsewhere. id love to be proven wrong and see the Sox help him put it all together but it’s certainly a very underwhelming move.

    Watch all this talk about the Sox not doing anything and they go out and get the best pitcher at the deadline. and I bet people will still complain
  5. Hugh2
    It’s all the same at 6 pm
  6. Hugh2
    Literally almost the entire starting pitcher market is unmoved so far.
  7. Hugh2
    Doesn’t have to be straight up, most deals aren’t. I thought I read somewhere that the Sox specifically don’t like Salas
  8. Hugh2
    I thought I heard the Sox don’t like Salas
  9. Hugh2
    It would be an upgrade over Toro
  10. Hugh2
    Oh I’m sorry, I thought you meant they were making zero moves.
  11. Hugh2
    If we want to talk about impact of trade that’s a different discussion, but saying we are done and only making 1 trade is an entirely different thing. they’ll probably make 2 more trades, at least, by the end of the day
  12. Hugh2
    And they made like 5 moves or so, not one.
  13. Hugh2
    Ok, A majority, and yes the Sox always seem to be in that boat with 1/2 the league.
  14. Hugh2
    If not buying was a sign they don’t think this team is good enough why wouldn’t they be selling off pieces? either way, you can’t believe the Sox will make zero other trades. small or large, another move(s) is coming.
  15. Hugh2
    I’d bet my first born son we are not done. The vast majority of trades happen right up against the deadline
  16. Hugh2
    Yeah I saw a few tweets, but like….i don’t know what to trust on twitter on a day like today. Plenty of smoke. it feels like Kelly is the ceiling for how expensive the Sox wanna get. I don’t hate it, it’s certainly much better than a lot of the other names we’ve heard floating around. Kelly has been solid this year
  17. Hugh2
    I want Joe Ryan but I have a feeling we will end up with Merrill Kelly. which I wouldn’t completely hate
  18. Hugh2
    Yeah, given the low cost of a 1B I've moved 1B up on my own personal priority list. I still want a starter. Not sure any of the names I want are realistic but there are guys out there after Joe Ryan who may have more availability as well. Merrill Kelly has been mentioned, along with Cease. Not sure how I feel about Cease but if the Sox think they can get him right they could probably totally take advantage of SD.......who I would definitely take advantage of if I could.
  19. Hugh2
    I'd offer Abreu/Tolle/Arias
  20. Hugh2
    The more I think about it, the more I think Joe Ryan should be the move. But it would be very unlike the Sox to trade like that at the deadline. But it would be weclomed. Crochet/Ryan/Giolito/Bello is going beat teams.
  21. Hugh2
    I'm not sure Blaze Jordan is the loss some people think it is, if it is then good for him. I just don't think he can keep up with velocity and will be exposed at the MLB level. He's still young, but he's a bad ball hitter. Very Dalbec like, probably a AAAA for lifer. If he were to prove me wrong I'd be happy for him.
  22. Hugh2
    Even when the Red Sox were making bad moves, or insignificant moves in recent years.....when have they ever made just ONE move? I'm not saying you'll like them but there will be more today. Over under on Red Sox moves today at......2?
  23. Hugh2
    This kind of sounds like advocating the “hug the line” strategy at the deadline that we’ve all grown to hate and arguably got Breslows predecessor fired. id rather they sell, and stock up on assets for Bergman, Chapman, and Gio. my first preference is to buy and make a run
  24. Hugh2
    That’s works out bad too, lots of people wanted DeGrome a few years back who has been nothing but a basket of injury. Lots of people wanted Montgomery two years ago and he’s been hurt and pitching awful. Lots of people (including me) wanted Burnes last year and that would be an absolute disaster right now. your list would have included Giolito, but I see it does not because he’s pitching great this year. someone once said, there’s almost no such thing as a bad one year deal.
  25. Hugh2
    The majority of deadline deals happen on the actual day of the deadline, with the vast majority of all deals happening on the deadline and the days leading up. whatever move the Sox do or do not make, I suspect we won’t see it until at least the middle of next week. Buy, sell, regardless I’ll bet we don’t see it until at least Wednesday
