Ideally it should be Merloni and Monaco.

Love the Thomas deal as a Guardians fan.

Bloss and two other prospects for Kikuchi feels like a massive overpay on Houston’s part, but had to beat out SD and LAD, I guess.

DOM SMITH

11-1 Sox

Glad they signed Conrad Carson

 

[CDJ]

Looking at the Kikuchi return I kinda want them to trade Pivetta tomorrow

 

[Mione134]

Wingenter, still not good.

 

[Mione134]

Still need pen help. But good win.

Kids finally get to eat again. Hallelujah.

They wont shut up about this guy who didn't catch the home run ball. During the game coverage and then I just got a push notification from ESPN about it like someone died

It's America - by tomorrow he'll have a book deal and have shot the first episode of his talk show.

Getting Paxton seems like a steal compared to kikuchi

Houston is making a push for a title. That’s why they overpaid. Boston isn’t and it’ll probably cost them a WC spot, but they’re being smart. The trade value for those 2 players has little to do with their actual value. Houston is in win now mode. Boston isn’t. Paxton isn’t going to move the needle for Boston. He’s there to eat up innings.

Paxton has decent numbers this year, if he continues and can pitch like be did the first half of last year, he'd be a big help. Crawford and Houck are struggling right now.

Yup that was significant

I am loving this minor league draft & development machine

They are going throwing a lot of darts at the board as relates to pitching and their in the same room as the board

Sox fans are impatient as shit they are going to be very good ~ chill out folks they are not getting bent over

As for Yankees I try and move Torres and put Chisholm at 2B where he’s a stud

I like Paxton but as he said he’s here to eat innings

Sox are doing the right thing ~ don’t hurry love here; it’s going to happen

I’m good with 86 wins if they get a WC great

They are poised to have a Bruins like 2007- present run of entertaining good to exceptional seasons and sayonara to roller coaster win one year and 2-3 under 500

They are building it the right way

Great post - nailed it

Yup ~ I like Thomas as well

Actually he doesn’t, other than W/L. And that’s due to the fact that he’s gotten the best run support of every NL starting pitcher. By a pretty wide margin. His command hasn’t been great (was leading the NL in walks) and when he does throw strikes he gets hit pretty hard.

Who knows? Maybe a change of scenery will do him good. The Sox got him cheap, so there isn’t much downside. But he’s definitely not a guy who’s gonna carry you to the post season.

It could be worse. You could have traded for Frankie Montas, like my Brewers did today. If they can turn him around, then there’s some serious voodoo shit going on in Milwaukee..
