Red Sox/MLB 2025 Hot Stove - Mets land Juan Soto on 15-year, $765M deal

Sounds like Teel is the guy that hurts losing the most.

Montgomery a bigger question mark having missed a full season.

Montgomery was a College Player this past season at Texas A&M (after transferring from Stanford). That's my alma mater and I watched a lot of their games this season. They lost in the finals of the College World Series to Tennessee, and had Montgomery been healthy, I think he would have put them over the top.

Montgomery played a full season last year, he just broke his ankle playing in the College World Series. Had he not done so, he would have been a Top 5 draft pick. Instead, he fell to Boston at #12. I'm probably biased, but I like him a lot. Switch hitter, with good power and hit for average as well. Very good arm (he also pitched in college), but probably more suited for corner outfield. Boston's got a lot of outfield prospects, so he got dealt, but I think he's gonna be a solid major leaguer.

At the risk of saying something patiently obvious, but if Garrett Crochet becomes the next Tarik Skubal, then no one will care what was traded to acquire him.

I'm sorry, but one single season as a starter where he wasn't allowed to throw more than 4 innings in the second half of the season is not established in anyway.

He threw 140 innings of great ball, 219 innings overall in his career. I’m sorry but he’s for sure a very good pitcher at the big league level. Established big leaguer
