I'm hearing a big part of the deal is that the Red Sox are going to sign and include FA Yoan Moncada

 

[Mrfenn92]

They’ll give crochet away

Guess this means Burnes is down to Toronto or Baltimore

Hoping the Red Sox overpay because they fell for the hype.

HFBruins thinks it’s bad and an overpay so far.

#4, 5, 11, and 14 prospects for boston going to chicago. hard to be mad at that return if you're a chisox fan

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

panic overpay from the Red Sox

 

[Mrfenn92]

Well done Getz

 

[eojsmada]

That's a lot to give up.

Chicago did well here. Crotchet is a nice pickup for Boston but only if they follow it up with signing Burnes.

As usual Shatkins is sitting on the sidelines picking the lice out of John Schneider's beard.

Wasn't there a catcher a while back, maybe with the cubs named Wikelman "Wiki" Gonzalez? Is this guy his son?

Montgomery is a hell of a lot better than most teams' #5 prospect. Teel is a very high floor, good defensive and most likely 'good enough' offensively to be a good starting catcher and soon. (The offensive bar is lower for starting catchers of course). Don't know anything about the other 2 guys, or where the Sox need prospects the most.

Phillies miss on another

HFBruins thinks it’s bad and an overpay so far.

Cause Crochet while good, isn't exactly one of the games best pitchers. So I'm not surprised they aren't fans of overpaying for a guy just because hes a name that's been mentioned as one of the better pitchers available.

Should've just signed Burnes.

they don't seem to be related, but share the same hometown

On positive it doesn't look like Getz gave him away like he did Cease

C Kyle Teel (#25 prospect on MLB Pipeline top 100)
OF Braden Montgomery (#54 prospect on MLB Pipeline top 100)
INF Chase Meidroth (Red Sox #11 ranked prospect)
RHP Wikelman Gonzalez (Red Sox #14 ranked prospect)

Still doesn't feel like great haul but not robbery like expected

not.

Since I have a sub, Baseball America's BoSox "Preseason 2025" prospect rankings, they're fairly close to the MLB Pipeline ones:

Teel, 4th in system, #25 overall
Montgomery, 6th in system, #59 overall
Meidroth, 8th in system
Gonzalez, not in top 10, was 16 at 2024 midseason update.
