Assuming that Rutschman returns quickly, I am also on board with this trade.
-
FredLynn said: Having done some reading about Rutschman I think he will work out well. He’s a switch hitter with a low K rate and is regarded as an elite defensive catcher. If he can stay healthy he’ll be a major upgrade over Narvaez. Still, giving up Eyanson is tough to swallow I was all prepared to be snarky, but you surprised me and I appreciate your honest opinion. IRT to Eyanson, assuming we weren't moving Arias, then Eyanson had to be the opening bid.
-
I appreciate seeing someone who maintains their opinion. I might disagree with you, but at least you have an opinion that is not based on what the RS do.
-
No. The FV rankings of the LA prospects were higher. And Rutschman should have a good bit higher WAR in his 1.3 years than Skubal will have in his 0.3 years. Two playoff runs v one playoff run. Plus a draft pick if we do not re-sign him.
-
I thought so as well, but Red was right, until he changed his mind, again. Eyanson was literally just drafted. He was drafted #87, threw 68.1 innings, and now RS fans have him on a pedestal. I think he has some talent, but his AA stats have a 4.3 BB9. I thought Witherspoon was a nice pick, but again, a 4.1 BB9 in A+. The shelf life on prospect rankings are like months between being loved and being ignored.
-
Until a few hours ago, most fans agreed. Until we actually made the move.
-
Of course you should have your opinion. I just wanted to find his name to congratulate him. After hundreds of posts castigating our prospects, calling them suspects, and giving clever little nicknames, I figured he'd be delighted that we traded some of them. Assuming, of course, that he didn't suddenly change his mind for no reason.
-
They also traded a pitcher named Slocomb if you got 'em, and got Tek and Lowe. I'm not sure what the point is other than some trades work and some don't.
-
I assume he was just making that up to create some controversy.
-
There use to be a guy in here that claimed all prospects were suspects, and that we should be trading our prospects for MLB players. Anyone remember his name?
-
I assumed that the opening bid would be Eyanson+. This '+' is more than I expected, but he wasn't coming much cheaper than what we gave up.
-
It would make me more comfortable with the price, if it came with an extension.
-
Why would Breslow be panicking?
-
Ouch! I thought we had him 2.5 years. That seems like a high price to pay.
-
Hefty, but it makes a lot more sense than the previous rumor. If true, then I certainly hope he is an immediate contributor.
-
That's worth 2 years of Rutschman, imo. So even if he is out for another month, I'd still make the trade. Even if he was out for the year, I think we'd come out ahead. So long as it isn't chronic and something he'll have to deal with forever.
-
I'd pay that price.

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
JoeBrady replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Probably not. But I think both offer more value to us as injury insurance than they would be as trade bait. I like Rutschman, but he's had injuries. -
Betterer, but at least some downside risk on Harper's arm.
-
I thought this was the Devers thread.
-
I was going to add that to my post, but the extra 6 words seemed like too much work. $20M*4 takes him thru age 33.
-
I could do that. I wouldn't disrupt the team chemistry by adding a catcher, but Rutschman has great tools. He might be the best all-around catcher between him, Goodman, and Langeliers. Some injury concerns, but I wouldn't be surprised if emerged to be the AS catcher he was projected to be.
-
After the off-season, when he botched getting Contreras over Alonso, and Durbin over Bregman, FG says that Breslow is the all time leader in botched trades that were out perfectly.
-
I'm waiting to hear their new defensive alignment. Rumor has it that that Stott goes to 3B, Bohm goes to 1B, and Harper goes to RF. 4 possible defensive downgrades in one trade.
-
Ryan had a 4.89/5.01 in August & September last year. So I am really happy we didn't trade top-tier talent to get him.
