Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season IV - 71 games to go - 119-43 still possible

[McGarnagle]

If you can get Jack Leiter for him, I'm very happy

I didn't really go into much on what I think we could get for Paxton. Continuing with the 3 teams above mentioned by @Mr Cartmenez,

I think a Top 50 is unlikely for Paxton. If you were able to get a Top 8-10 + Top 15-20 ORG prospect for him, that's a win. Anything more, the "win" is greater.

For Vasquez last season, we grabbed Valdez (12th) and Abreyu (21st) from Houston. I think Paxton will carry more value than Vasquez, but I think expecting a Top 50-100 guy in the league would be A LOT. A top 50-100 guy in the league, is anywhere from a team's #1 prospect to Top 5. We know these teams are not trading their Top 1-3 prospects for Paxton. It just doesn't make sense. Names I find interesting are below. With prospects and such, who the f*** knows though. I'm going by my view of the Sox farm system and what they could use. Throw out names you like though!

There’s no one reason for it, and not all of the reasons are bad, but this isn’t a good farm system.

You can *maybe* get a back end top 100 guy for Paxton, rentals just don’t hold the same value they used to

I would like to see them trade him if they fall out of contention and then bring him back in the off-season, ideally on an incentive-laden deal. If he keeps pitching well some team will give him stupid guaranteed money though, we saw it with the Yankees and Rodon. It wouldn’t be to that extent though, probably something like 3 years with a sizable guarantee

Bringing guys back the offseason after you trade them is rare. Even then, Paxton will be 35 next year and has a decent injury history. You absolutely have to trade him if you fall out of it. And I would let some other team give him a 2-3 year deal going forward.

Red Sox scratch shortstop from lineup; could roster moves be coming?

The Red Sox scratched shortstop Pablo Reyes from their lineup right before first pitch Tuesday. It seems like some help may be on the way from Triple-A Worcester.

We're very close to Justin Turner playing shortstop at this point

When is Trevor Story expected back

 

[CDJ]

the ol 2-6-3 double play!

 

[quietbruinfan]

Ober is getting every call on earth, Crawford is not. ...

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

Duvall & Arroyo go back-to-back.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Duvall & Arroyo go back-to-back.

Not quite. Casas grounded out in between.

 

[Mione134]

Gotta love Duvall getting back into it and Arroyo.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

When is Trevor Story expected back

Plan for now sounds like:

DH in July. SS by August.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Devers HAS to SIT for a couple. These first pitch outs, mostly with men on base, are getting ridiculous.

He needs more patience at the plate. He was doing so well having patience and getting base hits. Now he's back to wanting to launch homers, which I get, but just get on base. That's all we need.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Crawford is f***ing dealing.

 

[quietbruinfan]

Good work done by Crawford. He was not getting a ton from the ump either.

Seems to fly out almost every time

 

[Fenway]

Can we move the Red Sox to the AL Central please?

 

[CDJ]

Have a day Arroyo

 

[Mione134]

Let's keep this streak going.

Have a day Arroyo

If only he could stay healthy. That's always been his issue.

 

[GatorMike]

Kutter Crawford gave up 7 Earned Runs in his first start of the season.

Since then, he has a 2.59 ERA.

 

[Mione134]

Yoshi with a huge f***ing home run.

Wow. Wow. Wow!
