@planterspunch7 @gfstarr1 I always get a kick (in the balls) when the Sox trade away star players for peanuts in return, yet have to give up the farm when trading for a decent guy they want.

@gfstarr1 The Giants could trade Devers right now for an incredible return and not eat any salary.
Devers’s contract is actually cheap given the current market. The Red Sox were desperate to instantly unload him and got pennies on the dollar in return.
Almost as bad as the Sale trade.

@_TyAnderson If Don hits on the 1st he also got from the Leafs, this could be his Varitek/Lowe for Slocum moment!

6 games until the trade deadline for Boston.
This may be one of the most interesting deadlines since Don Sweeney took over as GM.
Real solid market for guys like Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittelstadt.
They (technically) don’t have to do anything with Mittelstadt this year but you’d like for Boston to take advantage of the premium market for him. Although, injuries to Zacha and Lindholm may cause hesitation.
Andrew Peeke is a prime candidate.
Chances of being moved (IMO):
Mike Eyssimont - 100%
Andrew Peeke - 100%
Viktor Arvidsson - 80%
Casey Mittelstadt - 60%
If you could trade both Eyssimont (3rd) and Peeke (2nd), plus one of Arvidsson (2nd+) or Mittelstadt (2nd+) then that’s a pretty good deadline — still think Mittelstadt can net you a 1st in this market even if it’s a 2027/2028 pick
What do YOU want Don Sweeney to do?
Who would be your top-3 targets in the market?

@PaulZeise Is the high altitude air conditions in Denver considered an unfair weather advantage for the Broncos? Maybe they should play all their playoff games somewhere else

Without saying your age, who was the opening day starter on your favorite MLB team when you started watching baseball? 🧐

@BruinsCapSpace Why does it seem like Vegas always gets these great players?
English

But the twitter insiders told me he was going to the Bruins???

Tom Brady replaced Drew Bledsoe and won a Super Bowl.
Kurt Warner replaced Trent Green and won a Super Bowl.
Nick Foles replaced Michael Vick, and won a Super Bowl.
Why not #Broncos Jarrett Stidham, right?

@BallParkBuzz As everyone seems to anoint the LAD for being a such a brilliant front office, they should have read the labor landscape and anticipated what could be before dishing out these deals
English

@BallParkBuzz It’s fairly easy. They would have to trade players. This happens regularly in the NBA
English

@jhcrawfordIV @BallParkBuzz Didnt the LA Clippers get in trouble trying to skirt the NBA apron by paying Kiwai Leonard “under the table”?
English

@BallParkBuzz A "salary cap", like all other prohibitions, simply transfers deeds from out in the open to under the table. A creative accountant can exploit loopholes the same way moguls skirt income tax. If a team can talk Ohtani into playing for $2mil/yr on paper, what good does any cap do?
English

@LouMerloni I read somewhere that because of th Frank McCourt ownership settlement, the LAD are allowed to keep most of their TV revenue as opposed to sharing it like the other teams. Thats another big advantage foe them. But kudos to them for reinvesting IPO pocketing
English

@HebHammer94 He’s too old for that return. What if the there is a lost season in 2027? We get him for basically his age 32 and 34 years. And I know we have a crowded OF, but we need bats. Isn’t giving one up to get one counter productive?
English

Red Sox starting pitching depth was already solid, now it is stupid good.
1. Garrett Crochet
2. Ranger Suarez
3. Sonny Gray
4. Brayan Bello
5. Johan Oviedo
6. Kutter Crawford
7. Patrick Sandoval
8. Connelly Early
9. Kyle Harrison
10. Payton Tolle
11. David Sandlin
12. Tyler Uberstine
13. Shane Drohan
And that's just from the 40-man and after trading Hunter Dobbins and DFAing Cooper Criswell. The best path forward probably is pitching and defense.
English

According to @Ken_Rosenthal, a rival executive says that the Red Sox have been “quietly shopping” Brayan Bello.

English

@tylermilliken_ Yankees always seem to swoop in. Not sure why they aren’t mentioned. Don’t they need a 3B upgrade?
English

Cubs focused on pitching and had an insulting offer last offseason. Tigers are lukewarm. Bregman seemed like the pivot for the Phillies if Schwarber didn’t sign, especially from a clubhouse perspective.
Who’s stepping up?
Joe Monaco@joe_monaco98
@tylermilliken_ Can you elaborate a little on what you mean by this? Meaning he's going to have to expect less money or more?
