OT: Other Sports 83

Marquee needs a new Comcast deal as well and they're getting the same high tier talk.

RSNs are f***ing dead. Make an app, run commercials and charge a fee to watch the team(s). Thats it. Then let Comcast put it on the highest tier and those people who don't want an app will just have to deal with that.

Lets see how badly Getz botched this

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

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

It's a great haul. Crochet only has two years of control left, and has a single healthy season under his belt.

Prospects just don't excite me that much in baseball. But regardless thats a solid deal for the Sox.

I hope the Crochet trade is better for you guys than the last time the White Sox traded a lefty to the Red Sox.

 

[hockeydoug]

The Sox can't develop sh$t, the Red Sox keep most of their best pieces for trades later, so while it looks good for Jerry and team backwards on paper, this should be a laugher in no time if I were to bet.

This whole Kyle Tucker trade is some of my least favorite things to do. Paying premier assets and then paying a guy hundreds of millions. No thanks.

Seems weird especially if they unload both Suzuki and Bellinger’s money in separate deals

You sound like Jerry Reinsdorf. It turns out that paying guys hundreds of millions is his least favorite thing to do as well.

It's a great haul. Crochet only has two years of control left, and has a single healthy season under his belt.

Yeah this is one of the only things the Sox have done right in the last 5 years. In the span of a year, Crochet went from a 'meh' value to bringing in this huge haul. I do wish the headliner wasn't a catcher, but it's still a really nice package.

Trust me I’d love them to just not trade for him and pay him 500M next year. But they won’t. They’re not going to win the WS next year so I don’t see the point in moving a huge piece.

If moving Smith and Parades meant they’d sign him to a huge deal then sure I’ll do it just to see them spend.

Where were Teel and Montgomery ranked amongst just the top Red Sox prospects?
The other 2 guys were only #11 and #14in the RedSox farm system ...tgat is to say marginal long shot chance to make any significant star impact...

So ICrochet brought us their #4 and#5 Red Sox farm prospects ...They were not giving us their#1prospect who is an outfielder..but would have liked their next highest outfield prospect as Montgomery was only their 3rd highest outfield prospect..


As for Teel being 25th ranked in Baseball's Top 100 prospects...that is fine but Montgonery at #54is starting to be an iffier shot at becoming a star.



Not saying having 2 top catcher prospects is bad or overkill ..but probably more insurance in case Quero does nott become a star.


Hioevthiscworkdvout better than tge Salecto Boston deal ifc2016...Montana and Kopecch=yuck and 2 other nothingburgers...Got fleeced by Boston on that one.

Hope this brings us at monumum 1 long term star back..

But this being tge White Sox,do not bet the farm (pun intended) on it.
