@RedSoxOptimist @HebHammer94 "Aging vet" .. buddy, Devers was 28 at the time of the trade. He's still in his 20s the entirety of this season...

@stephmitmit @tylermilliken_ I'm not sure anyone is "framing" anything. The point is they are in the same sentence as the Rockies and that's a bad thing.

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@JackLautaret @ChatSports They sent him for the best package they could from San Fran. The problem is it seems like they dealt him there out of spite because they knew the ball park would hinder his nunbers, and not because it was the best possible return.

@LuigiScal @BoSoxInjection You're probably right on the order, but I genuinely think Rafaela has made adjustments that Bradley never was able to make.

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@ilovewalta @JefferyReyjwr @RedSox @TheAthletic @ABREG_1 @BoBichette5 Yeah he kind of does. His glove isn't as good as it once was. He has a .334 OPS and his 2nd lowest OBP since 2016. His OPS+ is under 100. He's K'ing at the highest rate since 2016 and walking at the 2nd lowest rate since 2017.... he's cooked

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@KrustyEric @DakRandall Durbin has had a fine last 30 days or so but he's been so bad the rest he's still hitting under .200 overall.. Duran stinks.. and Narvaez, like Wong a few years ago, proved to be nothing more with the bat than a flash in the pan.

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@LuigiScal The question would have been Schwarber or Yoshida.. and that was the same obvious answer as when they let Schwarber walk so they could pursue the better "value deal" a year later.. .. Murakami isn't half the player Schwarber is

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@LuigiScal He also spent most of his career in a ballpark that wasn't the most hitter friendly to him

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@LuigiScal Contreras moving to first will keep his bat in the lineup.

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@LuigiScal Duran isn't a "late bloomer".. he's a one hit wonder

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@LuigiScal @CaniacBombs Not saying he hasn't looked good in the majors, but 12.9 k/9 this year are his AAA numbers

[teddy 🧸 @nind0_]

For Sox fans who are for some reason mad at this, yes it was and still is the correct move to trade him

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@SticksDowneyJr Because the CBA is up in December and we don't know the changes that will be made to the new CBA. Wait so that you can find the right head baseball guy for the new rules/restrictions whether it be a salary cap or whatever else.

@BostonJoshZ @BOSSportsGordo What's a monster package? "Monster" is quite subjective

[College Basketball Review @CbbReview]

What an incredible story for the former Villanova Wildcats

2026 NBA CHAMPIONS.

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@matthewcrory @BNightengale Can I interest you in Jarren Duran for a Philly Cheesteak trade?

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@LuigiScal @BenCampb_ Also, hard PASS on Murakami and his 33% K rate and poor defense. Contreras is a much better baseball player

[NilivanAppreciator @MattyShakes1995]

@cadchuige @BradleyGrinnen No established elite talent on the roster in terms of position players. Too much reliance on unproven guys. Now add in injuries to 2 of your leaders and your most talented position player. And no wonder they were damned
