I mean, haven't all the good players from the 2023 international class already signed? If Sox had no one to sign (or no one was interested in signing, or not enough $ to to sign the decent ones that were left) isn't trading it for 2 live arms better than just not spending it?

DFA Elvis. Call up Sosa. DFA Grandal and call up Lee when he's healthy enough. No reason to pitch Shaw. Not sure who the answer is there, because there is no pitching in AAA really but should be some waiver options. Guess you could run Padilla out there once he's healthy. Call up Perez in September. Not a whole lot more we can do..

Kuechel? Lol, woof. I'd rather run Scholtens and Patino out there.

ABM. Anyone but Minnesota.

Welp. Probably gotta buy him out and reallocate those $13.5M dollars elsewhere.

Man feel like that’s gotta be a Homer in 90% of big league parks

The cult following of Jake from a cohort of the fanbase is something to behold. I get it - super likable dude. It’s just really something. This is a fantastic trade.

Scholtens honestly does deserve a few turns through. He’s earned it, especially consider the state of SP in the org atm.

No one yet. Imagine we see Trayce and Lambert or Padilla tomorrow. Hopefully Elvis and Grandal let go for Sosa and Perez (until Lee is ready) shortly thereafter. Both Sosa and Perez in the AAA lineup tonight so not sure that happens quite yet.

Tough debut for Leasure

I certainly read it that way as well

I love how they just insta-returned TA to leadoff after the Homer. Grifol really is a dope.

Was he a Sox fan as a kid? Thought it was Cards, but he was def a Blackhawks fan. Could be misremembering…not that it really matters

This. Just get Sosa and Perez (and then Lee once healthy) up here and let them play.

2023 is Patino's last option year, fwiw

I dig this.

Seriously on this one. Burger is a top notch dude - the exact kind of guy you want to root for. But he's also a microcosm of what is wrong with this roster. I like the move a lot.

Some of their post hype pitching prospects would be interesting

Woww...going to be some butthurt Soxtalkers

Not to mention they only have to win the central which isn’t exactly exploding with teams in excellent positions.

I didn't say anything about 2024. I said 2025. A lot can change by 2025. Trading Robert who is controlled through 2027 is insane unless you receive a historic return.

There is just no possible way you know that. A ton can change between now and Opening Day 2025, when Robert still has three full season of control.

Agreed. 4 more seasons of control is alot. Sox aren't punting the next half decade, even though it seems like 75% of this board wants to.

May as well Major League this thing

Yoan always good for a near serious injury reaction once every week or so when playing daily. Right on target. You send Clev out for 6th all things considered?
