Red Sox/MLB Atlanta’s Chris Sale wins the National League Cy Young Award

[JRull86]

I don't believe potential impact bats should be dealt for pitching basically ever. There's way too much volatility with pitching now.

Use Sale as an example. That trade worked for BOS because they clearly didn't believe in Moncada and dealt the right guy. But imagine if they dealt Devers++ for Sale instead.

You potentially don't win the WS in 18 without Devers at 3B, and you gave up a 30/100 guy for two years of Sale, and then 4 injured years years before dealing him.

If their target is Crochet, there is no acceptable scenario that Anthony should be involved in that deal.

This Soto stuff is hilarious

Steve Cohan wants him it’s done


You falling for Soto

There is 0.0 chance the Red Sox sign him

Not getting my hopes up, but outside of money, why on earth would Soto go to the Mets over Yankees or even Boston?

He's the face of the franchise if he goes to Sox, strong DR roots and history, they'll be competitive starting this season assuming all the talk is for real.

Yankees, he has easily the next 3-4 season of being a legit contender every year in the AL, they always spend.

Mets outside of Lindor have no value to him besides Cohen offering money.

Anthony does not have to be included in a trade for Crochet.
We are the envy of many teams and have the talent to get him if we want.
Abreu is expendable, so is Crawford and some lower level prospects should get the deal done.
I agree with you, no way I am trading an impact bat, like RA ( everyday player) for a pitcher that has had one good year in the majors.

As soon as that pipe dream Soto has passed, they should quickly shift their focus on to Snell and Fried. I'd take both, but Frieds GB tendencies gives me a little pause considering the bad IF-defense behind him. If they were to sign him and Bello in the same rotation, they should seriously re-consider their IF structure.

 

[EvilDead]

Sincere question.

How accurate do you feel his assessment is?

His much is an old guy being pissed about how different a young guy is handling something that his generation would have.

There’s got be some truth in both.

Hirooka was the man who revolutionized how training in NPB is done and has trained/developed some of the best players in NPB when managing the Saitama Lions' dynasty of the 80s and early 90s. He's also seen it all when it comes to players going over from Japan to the States. He has knowledge about how this will all go, typically speaking.

Might be awhile.

He's on the record saying he's been a Sox fan his entire life. Big Manny and Papi fan.

But money talks.

And the Sox ain't gonna pony up

He’s a fraud

If Henry blows this opportunity I'm going to never forgive this franchise

If they sign Soto I'm willing to personally start digging a deep hole we can throw the hatchet in.

Can we start digging at the new soccer site in Everett and then light it on fire?

I'd prefer the hole be used for some local :deleted for legal reasons: instead.

If they sign Soto, I will go out and buy a Pablo Sandoval jersey in the clearance section at Goodwill.

That guy is a parody account

i won’t allow myself to get excited but when soto was traded to the padres i said the red sox were absolutely going to sign him

Red Sox/MLB - 2022 REGULAR SEASON - 151-11 still possible

Don't give me hope!

Especially when he's on record for being a Sox fan and Manny and Papi fan.

What opportunity?

Scott Boras is involved

Zzzzzzzzero.zero

There are a couple of owners without budgets - actually maybe one: Steve Cohen

This is coming down to Mets & Yankees

I’d skip on Soto & sign Burnes

I would rather have a top of the rotation top pitcher then Soto with where they are at

Yep. Says so right in his profile. Fake account. Parody.

My kid got him to sign his card when the Monsters came to Providence last year.
