Home runs. That rating includes Devers -- their top longball threat the past half decade -- who they did not replace in the batting order. Yesterday, 6 PM EST.

Red Sox 2025 Trade Deadline Thread
5GoldGlovesOF,75 replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
But Brez said it takes two to fandango. Was he tacitly admitting no one wanted our prospects? Do we overrate -- gasper -- our own prospects??? -
Not here to bitch. Like Thunder, I'm ok with adding two legitimate pitchers. This pair may not be great, but at least they're not washed up old veterans like guys we're used to seeing being called deadline recruits. I've liked Matz since the 2015 World Series and always thought he'd be useful in Boston. May was one of the starters who I clamored for in the Betts trade. Getting him for Tibbs at least makes the Devers trade better. May rounds out the rotation, which was a priority. The overrated offense still lacks consistent thump, and I still don't believe a word the front office says. Ever.

Jacob Wilson broke his hand. They should send Anthony down before he gets hot enough to win Rookie of the Year. If not, the Sox lose another year of control... ... which only means the billionaire might have to pay Roman market value sooner. In the meantime, they might win more.

Mike Myers, between trick-or-treating in a goalie mask and Wayne's World.

On screen, $250 million is only a few decimal points away from being 25 cents on the dollar. And one quarter of Raffy's average of about 32 home runs per year is 8 dingers. Sorry, just preparing myself for when Breslow announces the acquisition of Connor Joe as the new right-handed hitting first baseman. "We know Joe has zero HRs this season," Craig will say. "No-rated, that might not seem like much... but he's hit 35 bombs the past four years -- combined."
-
I thought about it the other day, but just couldn't force myself to type it... ... all those shortstops drafted this decade who can move to any position, all those middle infield prospects -- including the Minor League Player of the Year -- and we have pay deadline prices for a second baseman?

Burt won't be home Blyleven.

Ceddanne should play center whenever a fly ball pitcher is on the mound. But we also need him in the infield with a lot of traffic on the bases, like when a guy like Hicks has his good foot finder working.
-
SD couldn't take Cease out because he'd be considered damaged goods at the deadline. The Pads needed to show all the other GMs that he was still right in the head. Or what was left in his head.

Red Sox 3-4-5 hitters' batting averages with baserunner on 3rd with 0 outs, 1 out and 2 outs... in the top of the first inning in Minnesota this year: .000. Yandy Diaz' career batting averages... with baserunner on 3rd and two outs: .295. and with baserunner on 3rd and less than two outs: .352.

I'd love to turn FOX offffff......

No, he got $250 million in bonus points.

This means the Twins are open for business. Bregman and Crochet just put Ryan in another headlock.
-
I still don't know how those old-timers functioned without black raspberry. The Black Sox didn't throw the 1919 Series for just money, but the promise of gelato from their Italian sponsors.

If he's the best player at two positions, he can only be at one at a time. When Mookie plays shortstop, he can't be in right field. When Payton Tolle pitches -- in the pros -- he can no longer bat clean-up. Why can Ohtani? A: marketing.

And no microplastics in beer!

Remember a year ago at the deadline when Brez upgraded the catching corp with Danny Jansen? Me, neither. Now the guy is batting in the middle of the order for Tampa. That's what's out there: 11 HR, .204 BA, 26% K-rate.

Not if you want to pay an app... Lee has a cameo on the mound in "Eephus" -- a movie about a bunch of extremely decrepit ballplayers. Besides still competing in old-timer tourneys, Lee also survived having a heart attack warming up in a Savannah Banana uni, But your points are valid. My cousin the history teacher once summed it up when a student complained: "Why do we have to study the past?" "Because we can't study the future."
-
This is why I didn't buy ranking Montgomery as the Red Sox' #5 prospect last year when he hadn't even played an inning of pro ball... or Kyson Witherspoon #5 last week when he hadn't thrown one pro pitch after getting drafted out of college. Can we at least see a guy compete vs. professionals before we rave about his professional potential?
-
Even though most of us know that managers don't promote or demote prospects, we all know the Cora ruined Duran so much that he turned him into the All-Star MVP last year!

The Yankees. They're always the perfect choice to be favored in the preseason to win the American League and go to the World Series. They're the favorites every year: my favorite team to root against, my favorite to see not win it all, my favorite to have their rabid fans choke on their own foaming saliva... ... just not my favorite to watch broadcast on any national network with a Judge Cam.
-
Right, my first thought was 1999 or 2000 Sox, with Pedro and anyone else. Don't know for sure who the other guys are without looking them up, because it doesn't matter.

We need better pitchers to throw late innings in the playoffs. Whether they are called starters or relievers, many will be used out of the bullpen for the best teams trying to play deep into October.
