I’d expect the Sox to be one of those teams.

Some of these guys have improved their stock from start of the year. BA has those guys ranked a little better. Beck is 13, Sikkema is 23, and Champlain is 29.

Could be a good thing. Normally the more quiet the better. I don’t have much faith we will get moves that satisfy us though. I feel like we are gonna see a few relief additions and they will mostly stand pat and fail to address the positional needs.

The Yankees ?

I'd wager that takes them out of any Soto sweepstakes. Gallo seems like an odd man out too.

Thanks Tony!

Holy shit for brains.

I'm simply basing it off of the team's home record. It's so bad, I just expect them to struggle.

So Tim needs rest from All-Star week, but Eloy, a.k.a. Mr. Glass, can play hurt? Can we IL Tony?

@ Colorado: 1-1 Oakland: 1-2 Kansas City: 2-1 @ Texas: 2-2 @Kansas City: 3-1 Detroit: 2-1 Total: 11-8

Why trade for either of those guys when they could net Murphy or Contreras?

I'd rather have Yolmer than Garcia on this team. That's the level Garcia has driven me towards.

Hahaha, thanks. I'm back to normal as long as I don't go into any pitch black rooms. That doctor was legit awesome.

The only hope we have of seeing Cease stick around after that contract is up is if Jerry is worm food before it happens. Absolutely sucks that this organization is such a penny pincher when it comes to playing ball with the big boy teams.

Plus a 23 yr old in A ball isn’t something to exactly drool over. At least AA is a much more age appropriate level for him.

Really? Their main get for Betts, and they already want to move on from him? He’s a solid player.

This. This team is never going to land the big name player until JR is gone.

He never was. Look at the players he had. Most overrated “HOF” manager in the history of the game. He doesn’t belong there, but got lucky worth the players he had on his teams.

100% agree. Renteria was absolutely a better manager.

This game is over. I will never understand the lovefest some people have with Zavala. He is downright awful. I don't ever remember him ever being able to block a ball at home.

I wonder if he has vestibular neuritis. I suffered from it roughly 6-7 years ago and it took me months to finally feel better. A nasty vertigo attack that last 8 hrs and gave me 35% damage to my right vestibule nerve. I was even misdiagnosed with Meniere’s until a dizzy doctor downtown helped me out. I had to do a bunch of physical therapy to “rewire” how my brain worked so my balance got back to normal. The constant feeling of being dizzy or off was a prominent problem after the attack happened. Really annoying and aggravating until that doctor figured out what was wrong.

I think given his age, you can’t put much stock into what he’s doing. He’s a top 30 talent, but he needs to be facing age appropriate competition before you can honestly evaluate him fairly. It would be amazing if his power stroke was legit. I’m really looking forward to where he ends up next season. Could be a fun one to watch come up through the system.

This is a good point. Lots of upside along with the risk. Hopefully we see some early results out of these picks. I'd argue all 4 of those guys listed are well within the top 30 rankings of the farm right now.
