Is there something I’m missing here? The price the Padres paid doesn’t seem that crazy. On MLB site, Lesko is the Padres #3 prospect ( #76 top 100), Bush Jr. #8 and more tbd. That is a high price. 52 BB in 69.2IP in A+ ball. Only 10 more Ks than IP and not elite hit avoidance w/ 55 hits given up (and 11 HRs in those). I would say the #3 isn't what I would look at. He is a high upside RHSP if they can help him find the strike zone, but not a clear cut MLB starter in the future by any means at this point. A very interesting arm in a deal for a middle reliever for sure, but not clear cut.

How about 6+ years of Abreu for 3+ years of Rooker or else prospects for Rooker and Abreu for Crotchet.

Cotillo confirmed it was Valdez for Pearson the Red Sox were very close on but the Jays went with the Cubs offer instead

Kopech doesn't seem to have his head in it all to often. Ask those wanting him back to watch some of the replays of his games and see. Pitch choices, locations. he seems lost much of the time. he may still sit 98-99 and touch 100 multiple times an outting, but more to it than that and Chisox not giving him away. Pearson would have been more in on had the Cubs not grabbed him.

Josh Bell waived. Maybe if the plan really is to play Wong at 2B more the Red Sox will have interest in him or France. Maybe not as they are both not very good

So the rumored deal was Valdez for Pearson after all. Bummer.

Given the costs of the trades to this point I think we really only have one RP to possibly look forward to. Given the needs identified SP - Paxton, RHH - Jansen and just one question mark left in the RP role and I don't suspect we'll be overwhelmed by the acquisition.
Front Office gets to state that they added to the team, don't break the prospect bank, and trade away enough prospects to make room for the new signees all in one deadline.
If the Sox make it to the playoffs, it'll much more about the returning players and current roster than the acquisitions.

The Cubs' approach is interesting. I guess they're stocking up now for 2025-26 while the gettin's good? I'd also be trying to trade away Bellinger if I was them but not sure if they'd get any takers.

He’s certainly an arm that throws a baseball
He has elite extension and doesn’t get hit hard, lets see what they can do I suppose

This trade deadline will tell a lot about Breslow, ownership, and so much more.

Rays doing what we should have done the last 2 years (and this season if we aren’t serious buyers) with our rentals but they are doing it to an extreme
They are getting returns and have what is a scary rotation next year

Why are the Dodgers reporting that we acquired a player. Its just strange phrasing.

Red Sox FO continues to shop at the $1 store. Wreaks more of maintaining optics “look we’re trying” than genuinely trying to improve the club. Let’s see what happens between now and Tuesday, but not feeling too confident they’ll actually do anything of significance.

Seems like a weak return for TB. I wonder what the plan will be for Shaw no that the Cubs left side looks set for a while.
