I'm new here.... first post. :-) What are the chances that the Red Sox might be able to nab one of the Padres relief pitchers like Yates!? From what i'm hearing unlikely. They wantva lot. Preller has always been a snake.

It worked with the Yankees for Chapman. They'd sign Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot too as long as their fans continue to overlook the terrible character. I never want anyone like that on the Red Sox for 5 minutes. Not ever. Yup, I'd want the stat line but I'd never want that person on the Red Sox. I remember when the Sox dumped Wil Cordero - I was pretty cool with that, and when Manny shoved down Jack McCormick, it made it easier for me to want to see him go.

Prob no on Yates, because he’s not a pure rental (2 more years). He’d require significant prospect capital. I like him a lot because, even at 31, his results this year seem highly correlated to adding the splitter and dropping the SL. I think he stays elite moving forward. Might allow them to let Kimbrel walk, and save $15-18M a year. But they’d have to give up the top of the farm, which is thin to begin with.

He was maybe the most valuable piece in the Stanton trade and this guy named Torres. Have you ever heard of him? For the record, Castro wasn't a "valuable piece" in that trade. He was the salary Miami had to take back to offset a small portion of Stanton's contract. Miami didn't need him to be included for the deal to get done, New York did. Based on something like war he still likely the most valuable piece in that trade. A guy I'm sure the Marlins planned on flipping for more prospects. I'm sure the Yankees started trying to get the Marlins to take Ellsbury. They look Castro because he had value and could be traded down the road.

Yankees get Lynn. They are making plenty of moves.

Cashman is in overdrive as the trade deadline gets closer. Puts a bit of pressure on the Sox now before 4pm tomorrow.

Ken Rosenthal Verified account @ken_Rosenthal
Int’l scout: “Yankees are killing it. There are still several unsigned international guys. (Cashman) upgraded his pitching, traded off surplus for international $$$ and can add very high-quality prospects to keep or guys he can trade (later) for top-of-the-rotation starters.”

I’d prefer the trade for Schoop if possible. He’d be a huge upgrade at second and they’d have him next year too. He just started to come around. Not sure it’s realistic, but he’d be the best get possible for the lineup and second base.

I'm not going to complain if they trade for Beltre (unless they give up what seems like way too much), but an upgrade at 3B feels very low on the priorities list unless either Devers is far more hurt than has been explained, or he can magically stay in the lineup and play 2B (he's literally never played there, so....)
I do find it hard to believe that DD is just going to sit back, in particular after seemingly every RP traded has gone to one of the other top contenders in the AL.
Dozier still makes the most sense
Edit: A Rangers writer for MLB.com says Beltre might want to go to Boston, but the Sox don't seem very interested in making that move

TR Sullivan TR Sullivan @sullivan_Ranger Rangers don't see Beltre going anywhere....Atlanta appears to be dead.... Beltre might be interested in going to Boston but the Red Sox don't appear motivated to explore that..
Man come on DD, it would be cheaper than getting Dozier.

Too bad the Yankees aren't starting Lynn. The Red Sox beat him like a drum.
So basically the Yankees dealt Tyler Austin, a minor leaguer, and Adam Warren for Lance Lynn and international money and they're signing a lot of highly rated international talent. They added Happ for surplus prospects, guys who were never going to be with the Yankees and Britton for Tate.
The Sox have gotten useful guys like Pearce and Eovaldi. Wonder what tomorrow has in store for them. If they got Beltre I wouldn't think the acquisition cost would amount to much or preclude them from getting a 2b or relief help.
The deadline is less than 20 hours away and the Sox still have a lot of possibilities.

Maybe the player acquisition price is still too high. I'd love Beltre but he and Devers can't play 2b and that's where they need the most help on the diamond.

If we are going to war against Houston's pitchers in the ALCS we need a 7th bat. If we don't i think we got too much of a hole in the 7-9 spots. Maybe even the 6-9 if Devers starts struggling again.

I kind of hope that the Yankees get Archer now. I imagine it would cost them at least one of their 4 top 100 prospects, and probably some decent filler. I might me more worried about what 6+ years of cheap Florial/Sheffield looks like than 3.5 years of Archer (assuming they pick up both of his club options) Add those prospects on top of what the Yankees have already given up and if they don't win the World Series then it's a complete disaster.
My money might not be on Boston vs. New York, but it's certainly on the field.

Wait, why would anyone actually want to trade for Lance Lynn?

Wait, why would anyone actually want to trade for Lance Lynn? Because Cashman believes that somehow he can get a good pitcher without giving up a good prospect. Good luck with that...
