Bob thinks definitely trade Crochet and more than likely Robert too

Dodgers don't have the pieces for Robert. Crochet would require Rushing and DePaula at minimum. I don't see it getting done.

Don't comp picks get issued in the off season though? If Sox wanted a draft pick, it would have to wait until then

I'm not reading this entire thread as I am posting for the first time in this thread. However, a path to .500 for next year is lunacy. Why be average? Be bad or go be good. Being average is exactly what the Bulls were the last three years and refused to tear it down until this year. Continue to be bad, accumulate talent in the draft and trades and Sox can be competitive again in a couple years.

I would assume they would. And I know Sox loved Roman Anthony when he got drafted. Anthony, Yorke, and Cespedes might be able to do it. I would want Teel in the package too though

Bob mentioned that Boston could explore a Crochet trade. They have some hitters that the Sox would love.

Sox pick #5 tonight. There are rumors that Travis Bazzana might fall to 5 tonight..... I rank him and Condon ahead of Griffin (who I want if Bazzana is gone). Figure we can start a thread of who we want and to talk about the upcoming selections.

If that is true, I do think that is a little greedy from Getz POV. O's have plenty of fire power to get Crochet. I don't think Mayo is going to get traded, but Basallo yes. Basallo, Norby, Beavers, and another flyer for Crochet and Kopech/Brebbia would work.

Point being on a Vaughn to Houston trade is that they have nothing else besides those two. It's gonna be tough for them to make moves this trade deadline. They might have the worst system in the league

Vaughn to the Astros for Matthews and Melton I would do. Vaughn really does fit their lineup. Hitting behind guys like Altuve, Alvarez, Tucker, Bregman and Pena would be beneficial for him

I don't think a Kopech trade is just him. I think he will be attached to Crochet or Fedde.

Honestly a shame that he is going to come back. He doesn't deserve to be granted a starting spot. Sosa has been playing just as well just being recalled. Unless Sosa moves to 2B.

Sox aren't going to DFA Benintendi right now. Jerry won't eat 3 1/2 years of a contract and he's not blocking anyone. Pham and Sheets are blocking Colas if you want to say that. But they should be gone at the deadline hopefully

There was 0 chance Robert was going to get him. Outfielders are positioned in that point of the game where their arm can get there. Robert had to go back and to his left to make the catch. If he gets hurt on that throw, all of you would be bitching why he made that throw. Stop making it a bigger deal than it was.

I'm gonna take a stab at the main pieces the Sox could/should trade: Fedde to the Brewers for Pratt and Letson Robert and Kopech to the Phillies for Painter, Miller, and Caba Crochet to the Padres for Snelling, De Vries, and Pauley

The giveaway days definitely skew the numbers because good crowds always show up on those days. Plus, when the Sox face the good teams, Dodgers/Cubs/Yankees/Red Sox, half or more of the crowd is of the opponent anyway.

Pretty sure Sox liked Gilbert in the draft too

It's gonna be Schumaker, Santos, or Jirchele. Honestly, I would be ok with any of those three.

Colas should go down because he's not getting everyday ABs, which he needs and deserves. Our dumbass manager insists on playing Benintendi still and Pham will play until he is traded. Is what it is at this point.

Cannon, Thorpe, Nastrini, Bush and maybe Eder/Iriarte/Adams That whole AA rotation has earned a shot at the MLB this year

He might not be, but I want to see him in the lineup everyday to prove that. There should be 0 reason him, Sosa, Lee, DeLoach aren't in the lineups everyday. Need to see what they have in them.

He has 3.5 years of control. If your price isn't met, then keep him. It's that simple

There's like 5 players worse than Colas alone on the Sox. Colas has done decent since he has been called back up. Like all the young guys on the team, they need to be in the lineup everyday

Way too little. Painter hasn't pitched since 2022. I'd ask for Miller, Crawford, Caba and a lottery ticket

Out of all the players on the trade block on this team, except Crochet and Robert, you take the best return you can get and figure the rest out later. If a team is offering two top 100 SPs for Fedde, you take that and run (as an example)
