I agree with you. It's an unfortunate situation in this climate that the Sox DESPERATELY need hitting, because it cost far more than pitching currently does.

I think he goes to the Mets today.

Fire him already.

Moncada will never be in a Sox uniform again.

I think any other player would have been a lottery ticket at best.

Yeah I think it's lighter than it should be, but I don't think this single handily is killing the rebuild. Last year Vargas was a top 40 prospect. The other two are young but have promising profiles that don't really exist in the system. It's for sure missing one player, but it's not AWFUL to me.

I mean, I would like a guy the Sox traded for to be good...?

Steele walker?

Pretty sure that was wrong info by that guy.

He tweeted about it. Not nearly as angry as everyone here.

He was communicating with his camp. They didn’t tell him this. There is no reason to not believe they didn’t tell him this.

I’m not accepting Drew Thrope write offs already.

That makes far more sense.

That has to be a typo of some sort.

Wait. Isn't Getz mad because he thought they had very open communication about everything with his agent even until the night before the story dropped that he wouldn't pitch without an extension? Why would he have an idea if that information was being withheld from him?

I mean Vargas has just as much of a chance to be a legit offensive piece as anyone else they would have gotten probably. And no, I'm not defending the trade.

I think it would be hard for anyone to maximize his trade value right now. Dude needs to get right the rest of the season. Looks awful.

I don't understand why the Dodgers would be okay with this, either. This does not add up at all.

Did the Cardinals just not give up anything but Edman? How is that possible?

Also has a nice mustache.

It's sports, man. Have some hope once in a while.

They can even have Tanner Banks thrown in and I'll take a lower guy.

Dodgers just traded someone for cash considerations. Gearing up for Tendi!

They have to start at some point so may as well start with someone with huge upside. They should probably be going for much higher ceilings instead of higher floors if they want to dig themselves out of this.

Yeah I don't even consider him a candidate. Just let him eat 5 innings (good or bad) every 5 days to get you through this misery.
