@Bastards_Boston 1. Farm systems don’t win championships
2. Simply just not true, and even if it was, who cares if we still got pieces to help us win
3. How many teams have multiple good infielders long term
4. GREAT TRADE
5. It’s 2026, not 2004
@ExhaustedSoxFan@DanBFox1287 Just stop dude. They’ve gotten “more” from him all year long. If his “down” start is 5 innings of 3 run ball every 4 or 5 starts I’d say that’s doing your job pretty damn well. Also, with this bullpen, 5 innings will be more than enough come playoff time anyways
I am not one bit concerned about the Red Sox. They weren’t going to go on 10 game heaters the rest of the season. Sucks cause the A’s have been the worst team in baseball, but that’s just baseball. They hit the ball hard all game today, things just wouldn’t drop.
The Red Sox have had one of the best farm systems in baseball for the best 4-5 years with nothing to show for it. At some point you need to let go of the farm and invest in the big league team. That’s exactly what they just did.
@T_Neal1@PalmerDesigns_ I was referring to the Adley trade. No point in keeping Narvaez. There’s is a ton of Carlos Narvaez type players out there. And even the Mead trade made sense. Early is a very replaceable pitcher. No stand out asset like Bennett or Tolle.
@T_Neal1@PalmerDesigns_ A reliever with control and fits exactly what the Red Sox need. Plus Mayer didn’t really fit into the future anymore. And Adley will be healthy when it matters. Gotta give to get. Prospects don’t win championships. Big league ready players do and nobody traded is big league ready
