Red Sox about to lose again, which would place them 4.5 games back from the last wildcard. We'll see who they get rid of, but should be interesting. I know in the OP I mentioned Bogaerts...I understand that is a pipe dream. But would obtaining Vasquez (FA after this year) and Diekman (FA after 2023) cost that much? Think these could be 2 valuable pieces for the home stretch...

Yep. Kirby. Sweet!

I'm predicting the Dodgers land and extend him. They give up Gonsolin or Urias, Lux, and Bellinger.

Royce Lewis was meant to match up with Xander in this hypothetical. The rest were supposed to match up with Vasquez and Diekman. Do you have any predictions on what those two would fetch in a trade? I get your point with Sano...was just meant to be a fun addition for Boston to hit over the green monster the rest of the season, but not likely.

Just an FYI...the Red Sox are a .500 baseball team and not exactly trending upward. They are in last place in the AL East. If they have a bad weekend before the deadline...they will be trading...even those who say they're not going to be traded (sometimes this happens).

Fun to think about, but the likelihood Shohei the Money ends up outside of LA or NY seems quite small.

What if the Red Sox have a fire sale? Would you say yes to the following trade? In: Xander Bogaerts, Christian Vasquez, Jake Diekman Out: Sano, Royce Lewis, Sabato, Kepler, Canterino Xander plays wherever. One of the best, pure hitters in the game. We roll with Carlos and Xander for 60 games, then both are gone. Expensive trade, but not mortgaging the future. Diekman around for 2 more years.

Ideal: Montas, Castillo, Contreras, Robertson, and an additional RP. Out: Kepler, Sano, Wallner, Cavaco, Sands, Woods-Richardson, Martin

ahhh. makes sense now. Much obliged.

Is the game being televised? I have MLB ticket but cannot find it anywhere...thanks.

How many of you liked the Gobert trade? Are you sick of having no chance when we get to the playoffs? I want to WIN! If Montas and Castillo are both healthy...go get both.

I'd make that trade in a heartbeat. Need someone to win in playoffs. Luis is filthy. 1 more year of control might also help persuade Correa to stay 1 more year.

He really does seem like a great pick, but has there been any speculation as to why he dropped (minus the Kumar ordeal)?

You go all in, or you stay. Castillo, Montas,Puk, and Nelly. And a couple other key parts. Or... nothing. Do not go in between.

I'd be happy with Murphy. But I would prefer Carson Kelly. Sneaky great trade could be for Kelly and Marte. Would cost a lot. But great value.

Let's give up the farm for Soto. Wallner, Larnach, Balazovic, Sano, Sands...sign him to a 10 year 400 million deal. Yee haw.

Is this Jack Griffin or Griffin Jax?

Wallner's swing reminds me of someone...just can't figure it out. Maybe Carlos Pena?

Dustin Seltzer is a bad man!!

Friendly pitching bets between Verlander and Ryan: More K's? Fewest BBs? Most HRs given up? I'm going Verlander across the board. He gives up 2 bombs and we win 3-2.

I sat behind home plate to watch Francisco pitch when he was a rook. This is when Johan was Johan. ....Francisco was...BETTER!!! That injury killed me.

I would LOVE Means. I almost value him higher than Montas or Manaea...or Mahle...or Marquez. He is not talked about enough.

Fair enough! Not a popular option apparently! Ramirez is a top-5 player in the game...I'd go all in. Would add as many pieces for a 2-year window as possible. Then tear down and rebuild. None of this matters if we don't get more SP help any way...

I know trades within a division are rare...like, incredibly rare. But what if... Would you make this trade? Jose is under contract for two years at $26 million total. He is 29. To Cleveland: Arraez, Royce Lewis, Trevor Larnach, and Blayne Enlow A package like this might be too good to pass up for CLE, and this might entice Correa to stay for a bit longer...at least a second year?

Thought it was the full moon. Thought it was the weed. But no...I've jinxed the universe. Me panties...I just peed.
