  1. 1. Grade this year's trade deadline



Recommended Posts

Traded a first round draft pick who showed signs of being a starting MLB caliber player for 2+ months of some of the worst bullpen pitching I’ve seen and the dumbest pitching stance ever. Not mad that they traded Madrigal, mad that they trade ANYONE for this garbage.

Fuck Cody Heuer.   I was so pumped for him this year.  Home grown for years.  Thought he was ice cold in the veins with 97-99.  He was our boy. 
 

If he had just continued his 2020 we’d be sitting super pretty right now.  
 

We traded Heuer and Madrigal for 1 out.  The 1 out Kimbrel got that mattered.  1 fucking out.

Relievers are volatile yo. That's why trading so much for Kimbrel despite his shitty recent track record was stupid. Heuer could bounce back next year and be solid again.

im still shaking my head that we gave up Pilkington after the year he was having TO OUR RIVAL who develops pitching studs year after year for a .600 OPS hitter. Yes Cesar had a .600 OPS with us this year. What a terrible job Hahn did 

I still can’t get over the fact that they could have had Escobar in June and said “naw we are worried about his medical stuff”, then Escobar was solid the rest of the year with no injuries and they instead traded for a guy who fell apart. They scouted what, 3 players fully wrong?

Hahn arguably did a far better overall job this season (Oct 2020 - Sept 2021) than the year (Oct 2019 - Sept 2020) he was crowned "Executive of the Year", though that award was primarily an award earned in 2016-2017 for selling off the inherited assets of Kenny Williams plus Adam Eaton, who Hahn acquired.

Note - 2020 and Trade Acquisition Salaries are pro-rated for amounts paid by the Sox (2020 salaries divided by 2.7 (60/162)).

2020 Season (Oct 2019 - Sept 2020) $82.7M (10.1 bWAR) - Salaries and bWAR paid/earned are for 2020 and 2021

Future Options: Abreu (2022 $19.7M); Grandal (2022 & 2023 $36.5M) & Keuchel (2022 $19.5M, or $38M for 2022 & 2023 if he vests).

  • Signed Rick Renteria to a Two Year Extension. Fired him after 60 games, eating his 2021 salary.
  • Yasmani Grandal $25.1M (4.6)
  • Dallas Keuchel $24.7M (0.3)
  • Jose Abreu $22.4M (6.0)
  • Edwin Encarnacion $4.4M (-0.3)
  • Nomar Mazara $2.1M (-0.1) - Trade for Steele Walker
  • Gio Gonzalez $2.1M (-0.2)
  • Steve Cishek $1.9M (-0.2)

2021 Season (Oct 2020 - Sept 2021) $42.6M (12.9 bWAR)

Future Options: Hendriks (2022 - 2024 $42.7M); Lynn (2022 & 2023 $38M); Kimbrel ($15M for 2022 ($1M buyout included below); Hernandez (2022 $6M Team Opt).

  • Fired Rick Renteria with one contract year remaining, signed Tony La Russa (chalking the latter up to JR) & added two crony coaching positions.
  • Fired clubhouse snitch Don Cooper and hired Ethan Katz. The rest TLR's staff were TLR's selections or inherited staff he was OK with.
  • Liam Hendriks $13.3M (2.6)
  • Lance Lynn $9.3M (5.4) - Trade for Dave Dunning & Avery Weems
  • Adam Eaton $8.0M (0.0)
  • Craig Kimbrel $6.8M (0.0) - Trade for Codi Heuer & Nick Madrigal
  • Carlos Rodon $3.0M (5.1)
  • Cesar Hernandez $1.9M (-0.8) - Trade for Konnor Pilkington
  • Ryan Tepera $0.3M (0.6) - Trade for Bailey Horn

The grade is an F. They did not get out of the first round. Tepera doesn't matter. Hernandez was bad enough his option will be declined. And Kimbrel was so bad his option will be declined. I never thought the Sox had any intention of keeping Kimbrel from the start, but they won't be able to flip him with a $16 million price tag.  Hindsight isn't fair, but it's the only way to give an accurate grade. It turns out, the Sox didn't improve their team at the deadline. They only weakened their assets and spent some cash which will bite us all.

I still can't believe we signed Adam Eaton at all...let alone for $8 million...and that was early in the offseason!  That move was odd at the moment...and embarrassing now!

That's a head shaker.

Do you remember when people said we were wrong about criticizing that move after he went on a little hot streak early in the season?  Then nosedive and release.

F.  Madrigal was a 1st round pick and got on base with speed , solid defense.  Knew Kimbrel would bust just like he did for Cubs.  Trading with two of your biggest rivals always back fires.  Tepara was good but he should have shut his mouth.  Just embarrassing the sox.

Clearly an F but your assessment of Madrigal is wrong.  He apparently doesn't have speed and is a horrible defender.

I'm not certain they will/or should decline his option.  I have a feeling they pick it up to try to have another year to prove the trade wasn't a disaster.

Trying to put lipstick on a pig is not the way to go IMO.

I'm always a process over results guy. The trade deadline was fine. It just didn't work out. The value was fair and the targets were the right guys. 

Do you think they should accept or decline his option?

I would accept it and try to trade him. I think they should be spending a lot more money though regardless. If his $15 million stops them from doing something else, they need to decline it probably.
