Kemp is on the Astros 40 man. But I suppose with Sox having AL worst record, that could be easily solved.
Perhaps why we see no announcement. Hed had to go through the waiver process

I was just thinking the other day what if they drafted Bryant and not Appel?
Bryant, Correa, Altuve. You could have me play 1B and its the best infield in baseball.
Well I mean MVP winner and 7 time all star, I would sure hope so.

Dodgers and Nationals NLCS, please.
Yankees and Astros ALCS, too.
Why root for the Astros at this point? I hope they flame out spectacularly with Charlie Morton giving up 8 runs in a 3 game sweep.

Tim Beckham to Orioles...that's a weird one.
Wow. Any word for what? Would have loved to added him. I remember we were all praying he was the ptbnl in the Crain deal.

Lopez
He has to be coming up. Everyone and their mother has reported "Lopez close to call-up" for the last 3 weeks so definitely been long leaked out. So surprising they didn't trade someone then

Who's to say they aren't?
We will find out in 20 but I guess I imagine Gonzo being had for a bag of baseballs (especially since Hahn is looking for an excuse to call up Lopez) so if he's not moved then no one was a player at all.
Maybe the Dodgers have something contingent in line on a Darvish deal not happening. But I feel that Darvish deal will happen and its just contingent itself on the Rangers not finding a better offer
Have to listen on the radio, but Farmer with a rare great call. "Give him the Gold Glove now!" And you'd be lucky to see those in a year. He did it back to back.
I assume they were awesome plays. Video links would be great.
It should be noted the salary dump was a massive reason this trade was made to the point where Hahn mentioned it twice during his announcement presser. That's the very likely reason why the player return ended up so disappointing, moreso than any Sox players perceived value.

, he moved Swisher for obvious AAAA players
He was doing drugs in the locker room, got benched for a corpse and hit .219. The fact they got a living breathing human for him was impressive. The problem was acquiring him to begin with.
Undoubtedly the worst of the big trades. To trade 3 major leaguers including two with some nice value for only guy who will enter your top 20 or 25 prospects is not good to say the least. Just got to hope it land out and it doesn't matter anyways.
We should have gotten a third piece in the Sale trade so I think settled is the right word. That's the worst trade of the bunch. He's a generational talent and about to be Cy Young winner. But yes, Robbie Cano and all that.
The fact we got 3 legit prospects for Eaton and not Q and Sale is something
