Development, development, development. I will not get excited about any "prospect haul" ever again as long as Reinsdorf and the people he puts in charge run this team. We had a top 10 prospect in Montgomery at this time last year, he flamed out bad in AAA. Now we're suppose to expect to take both Teel and Braden (from a well ran organization) and finish up their development portion? Sorry, not excited.

MLB is so broken. 2 teams (even if by their own doing) are literally homeless while one player is taking 3/4 of a $Billion home. Contract half the league (or go the Euro Soccer route), and let the 8 big spenders run up payrolls into the $500 millions and make this more entertaining.

They were waiting for 100 losses to make this move

Highs and lows with this guys. We saw a handful of good runs like this with us. Nothing new to see here.

why would the Dodger keep piling on more, the Cardinals are the ones who are coming in light.

So underwhelming

Leasure

Puss Arm Luis

Well run organizations who want to win, cut dead weight and just take the loss on the accounting ledger.

Daniel Palka, I truly don't give a s%*#. One thing for sure, Eloy isn't on this team next year.

Eloy should just be DFAd. No reason to be taking ABs from anyone at this point

Kyle Hendricks might be the most recent successful comp to Thorpe. But there are not too many that can get away with 90-91 FB

OK, then we're officially the Pittsburgh Pirates and there is no point to following this team until Reinsdsorf sells or dies.

SUCCESSFUL rebuilds don't last 5 years. Anything more than 3 years becomes baseball hell, which is ths Pittsburgh Pirates for last 30 years. The Sox have enough minor league talent with this current reset, that if the owner finally get his head out his ass and spends in free agency, the contending window re-opens in 2026/2027.

6-7 years to reach sustained success is complete asinine, when rookies only need 6 years of service time to reach free agency So what, all the call ups coming like Montgomery, Thorpe, Schultz will also be gone or on their final arbitration year when they reach this so called window? That would mean there is no sustained success at that point. Extending Crochet is a no brainer. 4 years guaranteed at a fair amount (none of the club option bullshit) is something I'm sure Crochet would consider. Start this contenting window in 2026.
