Red Sox/MLB 2023 Regular Season V - 58 games to go - Kiké Hernandez to the Dodgers for prospects

[DKH]

Story will be playing SS according to all reports that I have read. I still have my doubts that he can play that position well defensively. The bat is definately an upgrade. Personally I would pencil TS in at 2B, think that is his best position. Trade Kike, get what you can. Not sure if there is any SS out on the market that we can get? Tim Anderson is having a down year offensively ( no HR's) this year with the Chisox, maybe a change of scenery would help him?

Story is legit fielder but I’m with you - I want Story at 2B long term and Anderson is interesting without his contract situation

Some executives fill their needs with small, but reasonable trades, while others continuously churn through the waiver wire because relievers are so fungible..................................

A LHP and a RHP. both power arms, good moves by Atlanta imo

Mookie Betts said he wanted to stay with the Red Sox for his whole career

Mookie Betts said he wanted to stay with the Red Sox for his whole career, but his contract situation didn't work out and he was traded.

Speaking with former Red Sox teammate Brock Holt on an episode of Foul Territory, Betts said he wasn’t ready for the trade at the time and wanted to stay in Boston long-term.

“I know people don’t believe it,” Betts said. “But I wanted to stay in Boston my whole career. That’s where I grew up. That’s my life. I knew everybody there. It was a short flight to Nashville. Like, everything was perfect.”

I don't believe a damn word. I love Mookie but let's be real here lol.

He did love Boston though. I will give him that.

Noted. If they wind up almost immediately waived like Litell and Scott etc, you win that part of it.

They won't get waived because they have options.

That said, color me skeptical that either will perform better than Schreiber or Bernardino.

I think Schreiber was an exceedingly rare hit off the waiver wire, but ok.

Adam Duvall, traded at deadline three times, hopes it doesn’t happen again

Adam Duvall is no stranger to being dealt at the annual trade deadline. There's talk the Red Sox might move him soon, but he hopes that's not the case

www.masslive.com

Braves interested in Duvall, per McAdam.

I think Mookie is just trying to stay " the good guy " with Red Sox fans. But yeah - I wouldn't want to step in what he's putting out there.....

 

[CDJ]

I’m sure he would’ve stayed in Boston…if they were the highest bidder. That just wasn’t going to happen though.

Baseball reference has him listed as an acquisition off of waivers. ...

Mookie wanted out - not buying he wanted to stay

Bogaerts yes

We got Connor Wong so basically a wash anyways

 

[DKH]

Mookie War 4.5
Wong 2.0
Verdugo 2.8

Win Chaim

[DKH]

Verdugo talent should always be a 4 Win player minimum

Thought it would be this year he hits 20-25 bombs

He’s got serious power when he catches it but just looks like 12-15 seems where falls

 

[CDJ]

All I know about him is that he’s up to 95 and we are probably using the rest of our international pool on him
