PaleAleSox Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 My only problem with Chase is that his name is way too close to Nicole Kidman's character in Batman Forever. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 This all worked out perfectly. It was Tweeted that as of yesterday morning, both teams had minimal dialogue. Thank you Yankees and Fried! I guess ultimately, thank you Juan Soto for not going to Yankees! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah, Teel is a fantastic prospect, but don’t love the fit with Quero. That being said, we needed to get the best package of positional talent possible for Crochet and this is a surprisingly really good deal. Montgomery was essential as the #2 piece given how their system stacks up and our desperate need for OF talent. The last two pieces are legitimate prospects who have a chance of being real contributors and possibly very soon. I hate to say it, but Getz appears to have delivered here. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 If you're on the side that this move wasn't a good trade by Getz.........I'm not sure what to tell you, at this point.

This past spring, I optimistically speculated that Crochet could return one 50/55 FV prospect and another 45 FV prospect. Boy, was I wrong. Way underestimated him. This is clearly a better return than what they got for Cease. Just goes to show how the league values Crochet relative to Cease despite the limited track record. Expand This is like the anti-Hahn trade return where the third and fourth pieces are actually good and not pretty much throwaways, as in the Sale and Quintana deals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Development, development, development. I will not get excited about any "prospect haul" ever again as long as Reinsdorf and the people he puts in charge run this team. We had a top 10 prospect in Montgomery at this time last year, he flamed out bad in AAA. Now we're suppose to expect to take both Teel and Braden (from a well ran organization) and finish up their development portion? Sorry, not excited. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really surprised no one else stepped up to beat this with Boston's top 3 off of the board.

chw42 Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 Boston loves trading for tall lefties that throw weird, don't they? Pretty good return. This is the kind of value we should have gotten for Cease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
