Next up: Devers for Rich Hill, because why not? That's the cost of renting an ace! And Devers is in A ball too far away and "blocked" anyway.

Buster Olney @buster_ESPN Drew Pomeranz's 102 innings this season are an MLB high for him in any year.

This is what the price for starters is now. Lot of people have been trying to tell you guys that for a long time now. Trading for a rental would've been much smarter, but oh well. That's why smart teams will develop their own from now on, like we could have done with Espinoza.

This is not as bad as the Kimbrel trade but it still sucks.

DDo is like a rich kid that inherited all this wealth built over the years from his father and grandfather with a vision for something great for the future, and he spends it all in a luxury car in one day.

FOR A RENTAL!?! FOR THAT RENTAL!?! AAAAAUUUUUGGGH!
This is worse than the Margot trade. Just unbelievable. All my worst fears confirmed.
Please tell me we're flipping him for something way, way, way better.
Ugh.

So in essence groom replaces espionsa.

C'mon now. Kopech just hit 105 and we're about to sign Groome. How much pitching do we . . . crap

I really wasn't that upset about the Kimbrel trade. But this is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic

It sucks to lose Espinoza, but at least Pomeranz isn't a rental. We'll have him for a few years. Better than losing him for someone like Hill at least.

It's not a rental. He is a FA in 2018 I know that Pomeranz isn't a rental, I was referring to Hill and also the whimsy with which Dombrowski trades prospects.

Praying we win the WS in the next couple of years, Pomeranz becomes an ace, and Espinoza busts, because this looks painful now.

It still puts us in the same situation next year, and Pomeranz is much better than any rental we could acquire anyways.

Can we enable profanity for at least this thread?
This type of trade was inevitable as soon as the Sox signed this nitwit, but it's still disgusting to watch it play out. I hate this clown more than MLB umpires.

Some of us can think beyond next week.

It's a much tougher deal to swallow if the Sox didn't have Kopech/Groome.
It still sucks, because Espinoza had a chance to be really special, but he was still a good deals away.
Pomeranz has been great this year. There is a high cost to picking up guys like Pomeranz, though I would have thought he could have been the prime piece of a bigger package for a guy with a longer history of success.
But again, they're trading an 18-year-old, who is very high risk with a very high reward. I'm annoyed, but DD's history on these types of deals has been better than most

Put the controller down DD and simulate the rest of the season. Or better yet, quit without saving.
Please no one else included and no more trades.

“@jmastrodonato: Easy to say Pomeranz’s 2.47 ERA is thanks to Petco Park & NL, but ERA+ of 161 ranks 7th in MLB, between Cueto & Fernandez/Syndergaard.”

Can we stop with the BS "Ilitch made Dombrowski win now in Detroit" excuses now? He just hates prospects.
