LH, good K rate, but watch out for those walks. It is another stupid move on the margins that commits a poor crying club to a few million and a roster spot for 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wait a second: McGuire was .5 WAR and Diekman .3? And we're sending cash or a PTBNL? LMAO. OK Richard, have yourself a last trade as GM of a professional franchise. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To prove Jerry can authorize over a $200 million payroll mark so nobody can accuse the Sox of being cheap, just dumb? Tax incentives for the Sox in terms of depreciating the value of roster "assets"? But hey they spent the money, amirite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise without options he's have to be DFA'd. I think in that case Reese could elect free agency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does if you're trading the wrong one and completely disregard the concept of defense? Of course, could we really sell high on a Zavala hot streak? Wow we really boxed ourselves in there with that roster construction, Hahn is basically like Houdini...tons of credit going his way for this one. At least until he actually pitches.

It's the unnecessary addition of another 5 million dollars that we overpay the backend of our roster that adds up every offseason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 This is actually a decent trade. Diekman has a good track record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 As a lefty signed thru 24 to pair with Bummer, I wonder if this is a pre-move for something Crochet related, either including him in a trade, or keeping him in the minors next year to start.
