Let us know your draft thoughts/hopes for tonight and tomorrow!

The 2025 MLB Draft will again feature just 20 rounds, but there has been a format change. After downsizing from a two-day, 40-round draft to a three-day, 20-round draft, Major League Baseball has now gone to a two-day, 20-round draft. The first three rounds (which is a round longer than before) will happen later today, beginning at 6 p.m. You can catch it live on MLB Network and ESPN. The Destination: The Show crew would like to invite you to join us live as we cover the entirety of the first three rounds. The last 17 rounds will take place tomorrow beginning at 11:30 a.m. There hasn't been a 17-round draft day in a while, but rest assured — there used to be 20-round days, so Talk Sox will have the capacity to cover the duration. The Red Sox will make four selections on Day One. 15th overall (Round 1) 33rd overall (Round 1 – CBA Round A) - Acquired in trade involving Quinn Priester and Milwaukee Brewers 75th overall (Round 2 - Compensatory) - Padres forfeited pick to sign Nick Pivetta 87th overall (Round 3) The Red Sox will have the 13th-largest bonus pool ($12,409,300) in baseball. As a reminder from Baseball America: "In the MLB draft, each pick inside the first 10 rounds comes with assigned slot values. The sum of those slot values creates each team’s bonus pool. From rounds 11-20, players can sign for up to $150,000 without counting towards the bonus pool. Anything beyond that value does count towards the pool." It's also important to remember that teams can exceed their bonus pool allotment by up to five percent before incurring any future pick penalties. No team in bonus pool era has ever exceeded that additional five percent threshold. Once again, Talk Sox will feature the Red Sox Draft Tracker, which will be kept up-to-date not only during the draft but through the entire signing period. So keep coming back for updates!

The Red Sox will send three representatives to Atlanta for the 2025 Midsummer Classic, though fans have a right to gripe about a few players who didn't get the call. View full video

First off, this was a good read and you did a great job listing the key points of this whole saga. Second, I do think framing was a huge part of the issue here. Devers definitely let the contract status and "face of the franchise" mantle go a bit to his head — I think he saw how beloved Big Papi was and assumed that would come automatically, rather than having to be earned — but the front office absolutely messed things up here. Breslow is known to be a poor communicator, and it really tanked the relationship fast. All that being said, I still think it was a bad trade. They got a pretty meager return for one of the ~10-15 best hitters in baseball. Sure, they got rid of his money, but this is the Boston Red Sox, and it wasn't a bad contract by any means. I think the front office really fumbled this whole thing.

If the Red Sox win tonight, they'll be a half-game back of 3rd place in the AL East and the 2nd Wild Card in the AL.

Two sweeps in a row?

Unfortunately, they've pulled me back in. I am ready to get hurt again by this team.

Above .500. Playing the Rockies. All-Star break coming up. Dare I say it? The Red Sox might be back.

July 4th in Washington D.C! Of course it's a morning game...

Over at our cousin site, Fish on First, managing editor Ely Sussman put together a list of players the Marlins might deal at the deadline. Is there anyone you want the Red Sox to pursue? Which players Marlins are most likely to sell at trade deadline - Marlins - Fish On First FISHONFIRST.COM Unlike last summer, the Marlins won't be tearing apart their entire roster to load up on prospects, but there are still opportunities for them to cash in on redundant players and sell...

Hopefully, the Red Sox win the first half of this faux double header to take pressure of this one. They could get back to .500 by the end of the night if things go their way.

Hey all, we're going to leave this game thread open for when play resumes, and will make a separate one for tonight's clash.

Personally speaking, I'd like to start July with a win.

With the Red Sox tumbling below .500 post-Devers trade, it looks like Boston might be sellers at the trade deadline. If that's the case, who should they consider moving? View full video

A fun little pitching matchup to wrap up June. Crochet has been carrying a heavy load this season.

Thanks for creating the thread! Was traveling this morning.

After sweeping the Yankees, the Red Sox were back in contention with a five-game losing streak. Then, they traded Devers, and it's been all downhill since. View full video

I'd like to see Narvaez, myself. But, yea, the Bregman injury and Devers trade sapped a lot of juice out of this roster.

When has a little six-game losing streak ever hurt anyone, huh? It's totally not a big deal that the Red Sox are falling out of contention right before the All-Star Game, right?
