Yoan Moncada bought out

No way. He can't stay healthy. He's a part time player at best.

Ahem…  see Kopech.  I tend to agree with the health issues you noted when it comes to Moncada, but I would not be surprised at all if he had a comeback season with a team like the Dodgers.

I'm sad actually. He was one of the signings I was really excited about. We were working that Cuba connection. It's just a reminder of when we were on top of the world and reasonably expecting multiple championship seasons. 

Good luck to him.

Trades....Robert was the major Cuban signing after Abreu.

Prediction:

Moncada signs a FA deal in Houston to replace Bregman.

Is an all star next year.

Probably. But they had no choice. The market for Moncada ain't $25 million, so this thread should be titled: "Obvious Move #2"

So, who's the new punching bag?

Surprised it's not Beni. He's been very very bad though he did blast 20 homers I think. I won't call him "trash," a word that's been on all the news cycles. It's kind of dehumanizing word.

Kopech was already pitching like this at the time of the trade. The Sox failure with him was to not recognize this and pull him back to potentially get more in the offseason.

The injuries and lack of playing time, plus going into his age 30 season are all working against Moncada.

I wish Yoan the best.  He was always Charmin Soft, but the talent is there.  I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see him but put him 3+ WAR season in 2025 IF he can play 120+ games.  Huge if though, obviously. 

I bet he gets more than most think to.  I'd say 1 year $5-7M with some attainable performance incentives.  He'll certainly have a lot of play for, and is still a well above average defensive 3B.
