Paxton is starting Tuesday vs Seattle, and Criswell is being moved to the bullpen “starting today” Who’s the 26 man move for Paxton though? |

Is it weird to anyone else that MLB teams can trade 16 year old kids from places like the Dominican? I feel like there should be a minimum age for being traded. You should check out the way that soccer academies and transfers work in the rest of the world! I’m aware, and soccer, especially in America, is perverse but often those transfers are to higher level leagues or they put a player on loan to get more playing time. That being said, it’s still weird. |

My original point was basically that the context didn’t make sense because it seemed to be excluding the guys in MLB with control. I’d argue that Houck, Crawford and Bello are more clearly part of the team’s core than even Mayer right now. It's all semantics and not a big deal, but to be a bit of a contrarian... Houk is already 28 and has 3 more years of control. MLB careers and contractual control are so short, I'm not sure it really makes sense to consider someone like Houk in the same core group as the 20-23 yr old position players coming up. That's the Sox long term core, if they have one. By the time those guys are coming into their own Houck will be nearing 30 and free agency. Houck is a prime age, win now player. And this will really not be well received, but there is a decent amount of evidence that Bello is just not really good enough to be thought of as a core player or the concept of a "core player" is too broad to have much meaning. And I know I will be killed for saying Bello can't get better even though I have not said that, but right now he's a ~1.5 fWAR player who hasn't gotten better into his age 25 season. If every player who can put up a 1-2 WAR season is a core player, than the concept of a "core player" is kind of meaningless imo. Core players should be capable of putting up impact seasons or at least string together solidly above average ones. The longer Bello goes without doing that, the more likely he just can't. That's a complementary player, not a core player imo. Fwiw, I don't think you are wrong about Bello. I do think pitchers age differently than hitters. I think Houck could prove very valuable and serve as a team leader over the next 5 yrs as part of the same window as the position player core. |

Can Paxton be left in roster limbo until he’s activated for Tuesday’s start?
Or, do MLB rules require him to be activated within a certain amount of time following the trade?

Horn will likely get optioned. Yeah no way they ditch Booser right now I don’t see how optioning Booser is ditching him. Didn’t realize Horn had all his options. Would still send Weissert down out of those three. |

What a career it could’ve been. Hope he’s healthy enough to fully enjoy retirement. The rash of injuries had to take its toll.
