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.
-
I'm not sure I agree with the logic. His performance this year means he was likely a good target last year, even if he under-performed. He started off with three very good performances. No way of proving it, but I'd bet trade works out well the majority of the time.
-
We likely won't get it, nor should we, but having more certainty would help the trade outlook. Anthony in early September, and Crochet in late September, and I'd be inclined to ride with whom we have.

Red Sox Among Chief Suitors For Mets' Clay Holmes
JoeBrady replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I like Holmes fine. My question is, 'who goes down if we acquire him?'. I like all 13 pitchers, a lot. Demoting some of the kids for 2 weeks at a time might work, so long as they understand we are saving them for October (hopefully). -
No game today. What'll we do for entertainment? ghfstca.
