Good for Eddie. I was under the impression that he turned down a trade to the Dodgers last year because he didn't want to move to the West Coast, so this is a little perplexing, though.

I'm not panicking until Shohei and Yamamoto are off the board. But then it's hard panic time.
If the Sox fail to land Yama.... I will call this off-season a failure. I'm not even exaggerating. After the dumpster fire of the last 2 years, the Sox brass have to know the stakes. Then again, I don't have any expectations. They have to prove it to me. Show me that this time is different. I'm not confident, I'm apathetic sadly.
Don't fret, Tom Caron will still be there all giddy and excited to tell us about the rainbows and unicorns.

They aren’t winning anything so not a big deal - they are all about finding out about Mayer, Teal, Bleis, Rafaella, Abreu, Roman Anthony - and seeing if Bleslow can develop pitching to win in 80’s - I know this team better than most fans and to compete they would have to get Yamamoto, Montgomery and Soto
Ain’t happening
Shed Sale as well
If the plan is shoot big for Yamamoto and not overpay for crap good strategy
Smart not being public if they are in
OF organizationally
Anthony
Bleis
Duran
Abreau
Rafaella
Find out who’s part of future
INF/C
Casas
Mayer
Devers
Teal
All about pitching and Breslow strength here
Yamamoto

What kind of one dimensional take is that?
The Padres raised Sotos value by adding Grisham (cheap 2 WAR player) to the trade.
The Sox lowered Betts‘ value by attaching Price to the deal.
I am far from a Bloom‘ supporter, but to hold that trade against him is bizarre.

Matt McCarthy brutal
AJ Preller got hosed what he have up to get and then what got
The Padres got Soto because their owner was very sick and wanted to win - they literally gave up Farn
They got back meh
It was a dump
The Yankees didn’t give up any of there top 7-8 best young players - they gave up Drew Thorpe #99 overall. I like King and Brito could be good but jury out
Jeter Downs a bust was significantly higher rated at time of deal with Dodgers
Preller is a cocky sob and his interview right now looks meek
Per Sherman - Verdugo LF Judge CF Soto RF and Grisham 4th OF who gets a lot of time
Stanton gets hurt Soto DH and Grisham CF and Judge RF
Yanks a beast

He’s much more forthright than in this podcast than he is on NESN or at Winter Weekend.

A player no one has seen pitch, zero major league experience and if the Sox don't get him the off season is a failure?
I don't think you are apathetic. You're post here, right?
Hmm I seem to remember Ohtani being someone with zero major league experience and a pitcher "nobody has seen". Seems like scouts were correct in his evaluation.
I like that thought process, Yama is only 26, so probably worth a shot. No point overpaying more guys. Sale contract is likely up at the end of the season, thank goodness. And then just stuck with the one bad contract in Story, which they should just try to buy themselves out of.
Then wait and see, with money and prospects, they should be able to put together something in a few years. In the meantime, give us some young guys to latch onto

For every Ohtani there's a Daisuke.
ninja edit: For me not getting Yamamoto isnt about missing on the player as much as it's reinforcing that nothing has changed upstairs on the monetary commitment to winning. For all the lip service it'll be another last place offseason with no impact players brought in

Well do you want him or not? And if you don't want him then who should the Red Sox be in on? I am willing to accept that not getting him does not make the offseason a failure but it will be a failure if all they make is minor moves.
The Dodgers are loaded with starting pitchers both at the major league level and AA / AAA.
They would be a great partner to trade with us. I would happily take one of Nick Frasso or Gavin Stone, either one would step into the rotation next year and they have River Ryan and Landon Knack that will compete for a spot this year with them.
With a rotation of Miller/May/Gonsolin/Pepiot and Walker Buehler being eased back into the rotation, they have a great pitching staff.
I would have no issues trading someone like Marcelo Mayer, who is a player that fits well with what the Dodgers need for a future SS. We still have Story that can play SS and Rafaela can also play the position until one of Brainer Bonaci or Mikey Romero are ready for the team. Good / young pitching is hard to get, so we need to give up quality to get quality back.
