Considering the return we got for Vasquez a few years ago if Cutter is the only player we’re sending this is a good deal Maybe on principle but the Astros were WS contenders and Sox are hoping to sneak in as a wild card team

Initial reaction I don’t love it but it’s probably being a little too prospect-huggy to be mad about Coffey going here Yeah I’m thinking the reaction to this trade will highlight those who maybe overvalue prospects a bit. Coffey is hitting .191 with a 26% K% in July, he really hasn’t done a whole lot in his career outside of that one week. He’s still got some upside and maybe he turns out well (maybe he even ends up pitching) but at the end of the day the Red Sox improved their roster, however marginally, at a low risk of giving up a major league contributor.

Acquired two players and I feel like we added a quarter of One win to this team so basically nothing burgers all around so far
No sense in buying if other teams ahead of you get meaningly better at the deadline and these end up being our moves
Don’t do anything rash, but again kind of leads me to rather sell then buy at the very extreme margins (but we still have a while to go here)

Jansen’s spray chart overlayed on Fenway is pretty nice also. Lot of fly outs that become hits with the Monster

I guess Coffey is fine in terms of value, painful part is Coffey got $1.8m 24 months ago so feels like a whiff of a pick now, even though this could be his peak value

Coffee + for a rental catcher who has been struggling badly? Can’t say I understand this move.

Maybe they haven't told Vlad that he is going to Boston yet

That is one way to make room for the new signees I guess.

This is right; wild. I’m sure this has never happened in this history of the MLB??

Ok I really hope the other two players are less valuable than Coffey and that one of them is McGuire

Hmmmmmm I get paying an intradivision tax trade, but two more in addition to Coffey? We sure Turner isn’t coming back in this deal??

Coffee + 2 other players for Jansen? This deal seems odd.

Coffee is a bold, rich, drink typically served in the morning. Im not crazy about giving a prospect like him up for Jansen.
But... How many second baseman do we really need in the pipeline? Every draft we were getting these nice up the middle players. Everyone always said you can always turn that surplus into trade pieces.
We dealt from a position of strength and got a Guy who could help.
Just thinning out the hit first 2nd base herd

This one could turn into a head scratcher real quickly when we find out these names

According to Chris Hatfield, 8 minor leaguers need to be purged when the draft picks sign. Hoping it was one of them. This seems like an overpay but I wasnt consulted.
