Thought he was only owed ~$3.5M from here on out?

Realmuto to the Sox makes no sense. He doesn’t align with the Sox competitive window at all.

True, must hit for minimum of 1.250 OPS

Not after they trade for Archer though ?

Crazy prediction here. Got a feeling Kodi ends up a top 10 WS prospect and near top 100 guy by this time next year. I’d take that all day.

This farm system is absolutely lit. Can’t wait for the monster bounce back game from Hansen this weekend to get him rolling again.

A first round matchup with the Braves smells like a potential upset.

Good call! #19

Fair to say better return than Mets received for Familia? Suppose it depends on how much one values the INT pool money.

Doesn’t want to make the same mistake he did with Sale (referring to KLaw) ?

? The Cubs trade has a chance to be one of those historically lopsided trades when looking back on it 10 years from now. Well done RH!

Britton has had some control issues the past two seasons and there's an elevated injury risk with him. His strikeout rate is also down quite a bit from 2016. After two injury plagued seasons and at the no longer tender age of 30, this isn't the same Britton we witnessed in 2016. I am not sure why people continue to value him like it is. I think his trade value is far more comparable to Soria than people are crediting. If he were still performing at 2016 levels, you would have seen a much better return. Tate is a guy that I had targeted for the Sox in a Soria trade and I think someone of his stature is feasible but the Sox wouldn't get more than a lotto ticket as a second piece, if anything at all.

As is Cody Carroll

As I was saying, Soria has been flat out dominant over the past couple months https://mobile.twitter.com/VinnieDuber/status/1021986117762121729?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet

I don't really see the point with Drury when the Sox already have Sanchez who has a similar skill set, age, and control. I wonder if a Soria/Cedeno combo would be enough to snag Dillon Tate?

Honestly, it depends on the trade partner. If I am a fan of a team like the Braves and with the depth of their system I’d say yes. Or if I’m a fan of a team like the Mariners that hasn’t made the playoffs in what 20 years I’d also say yes. ...and actually, Soria has been dominant this year particularly since April

You are probably right but if I am a contending team looking for a reliever I would actually prefer Soria over Britton for the next 3 months. Far less injury risk, slightly lower salary, and he's actually outperformed Britton the last two years. Britton has had some controls issues the last two seasons walking ~5 batters per 9 innings pitched. He's not the same guy he was in his dominant 2016 season.

Two of the best hitters in minor league baseball. The future is bright...

Mets also received INT money which is always hard to value. Plus, Mets didn’t eat any money. I would hope the Sox do with Soria to increase the quality of the return.

Oh, just swap out Shields with Rodon and all set ?

Awesome moment for the kid http://m.milb.com/video/2279172783/?vref=redirector

Kopech following the same arc as last season. Hopefully an equally strong finish to this season. Start him in AAA next year and call him up in late April after gaining the extra year of control.
