The Red Sox are so transactional. Mead is a good player but he was on waivers in spring training. Did they really need a corner bat this bad and couldn’t part with a lesser pitching prospect to get it?

Perhaps they will just bench or waive Yoshida. Regardless, doing this on the heels of the Harrison-Durbin disaster feels like another big mistake

Yea this amplifies the Yoshida/Duran thing too to me. They’ll have to make another hard decision there unless they don’t think Anthony will be back this year.

I for one, root hard against that FO and Breslow seems like a cocksucker so hope whatever they do fails miserably but that’s been a fascinating org to watch as a non fan for the last few years.

Duran has a sub .600 OPS. Yoshida has a .725 but you really cannot have him playing the OF and his money is a problem.

Sounds like Mead will be at 2nd.

ETA: Craig has to clean this roster up.

Some updates for Nightengale

quote:

Some rival GMs believe that even though the Detroit Tigers have climbed into the wild-card race, they will still trade two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, while trying to convince their players and fan base that they are not surrendering.

– The San Francisco Giants are telling teams that right fielder Jung Hoo Lee is staying, but they will move left fielder Heliot Ramos.

The San Diego Padres likely will keep closer Mason Miller but could trade starter Michael King, according to rival executives who have spoken to AJ Preller, president of baseball operations. They don’t anticipate Preller being ultra-aggressive at the deadline with new ownership pending.

– While Houston Astros GM Dana Brown’s job may hinge on the trade deadline, rival executives believe that Astros owner Jim Crane may have already made up his mind.

– The Boston Red Sox are in dire need of a right-handed bat, and would love to acquire shortstop Jeremy Pena of the Houston Astros or Zach Neto of the Los Angeles Angels.

– The Chicago White Sox badly want starting pitching, but are telling teams that they will not trade any of their top 10 prospects. They would be willing to add onto their payroll, however, and assume the entirety of a player’s contract.

– Rival teams now believe that the Minnesota Twins will trade catcher Ryan Jeffers, with the Yankees the leading candidate to sign him.

– The Tigers are asking for a late-inning reliever in trade talks, believing that it’s essential if they are going to make a deep run in October.

– The Colorado Rockies will be popular at the trade deadline. They are letting teams know that pitchers Antonio Senzatela, Kyle Freeland, Michael Lorenzen and Tomoyuki Sugano are available, as well as position players Mickey Moniak, Jake McCarthy and Willi Castro.

– The New York Mets, who made the brutal mistake of believing that center fielder Luis Robert would stay healthy, assuming his entire $20 million contract from the White Sox, now are desperate to dump him.
He’s still owed 5.9 million plus another $2 million buyout

As a person. His underlying metrics are concerning and he’s developing a bit of some injury concerns.

+2 DRS and OAA in 108.2 innings at second base last year. Small sample. If the bat is real and the glove is serviceable then it's a great trade for the Red Sox. I like Early a lot, but not every trade needs to be a fleece job. Hopefully it works out for both teams.

Agreed on the roster. Has to get cleaned up this offseason.

Mason Miller to the Yankees, Doval to the Padres.

If they were capable of cleaning it up they would have done so already. They held onto Duran too long and Masa can’t play in the OF anymore. Not many willing trade partners unless they’re a throw in.
