Let’s fuck them over for once.

But Cooper hates Hudson…it is kind of funny how we usually don’t bring back our former prospects, like Escobar and likely Hudson here.

Now Miguel Gonzalez, Sandy Alomar, Adam Eaton, different stories.

The FO really dislikes admitting mistakes and bringing them back would be a constant reminder how we either whiffed on development or sold low. A FO without that ego would say "hell if they can make us better, bring them on. " That's just not how we roll. The nightmare for our FO would be facing SD in the WS and having to deal with the lampooning on a national media stage of giving away Tatis Jr. for a broken down Shields and his egregious contact. Their heads would implode by Game 2.

Just in recent memory the Sox brought back Beckham, Yolmer and Trayce Thompson. So that narrative doesn’t quite hold up to any scrutiny

We’ll see.  Those were basically just filler positions when the Sox weren’t really attempting to compete in the playoffs.

Beckham came in at the same time as Cabrera, LaRoche, Bonifacio, etc., desperation moves.

This is a different situation talking about a key role in the postseason spotlight.  Beckham was already finished, he just didn’t know it and held on.

Trying to remember if Jordan Danks came back twice as well.

 

But Jackson/Hudson was one of the most memorable and controversial of the KW regime.  Escobar/Liriano, not so much.   

We also haven’t been connected at all to Marcus Semien, for example.

yeah you're missing the point.  who the fuck are those guys you mentioned, they're literally nobodies.  it was clear from his post he meant guys who went on to be successful after leaving the Sox

Thompson was successful for about three weeks with the Dodgers….

Hudson deal done

For #9 prospect Mason Thompson, who throws harder than Kopech…and who Washington will try to convert to starting in all likelihood.  And another obscure prospect.
