Wow, that escalated quickly. Yanks go from unbeatable to maybe never winning another game this season. I wonder how I can get a job on the training staff for the team. I couldn’t do a worse job in my opinion. Ouch

Yanks just need to be healthy for playoffs. DJ back today. Stanton next. They will trade for a starter and that is it. Not worried but they have some issue w 5 starting offensive players out and 3 starting pitchers. We shall see

Moreland sent to Padres for two prospects. Fully expected that, he is having a solid year and can definitely help a contender. Guess Chavis and Dalbec will be splitting 1B now, Dalbec getting his first start today.

The Padres are for real, weird season anyone could win but Moreland will be a huge help for him. Sox total rebuild...why not at this point. Getting rid of Betts necessitates some big moves.

Not necessarily. JH was never going to approve the $$ and years needed to extend Betts, so they did what they needed to do. Verdugo is a good fit so far, Dalbec shows some promise now that 1st is open a bit more. I'm sure more deals would be made if there are buyers willing to pay before tomorrow's deadline, but ai don't think Sox are trying to clear house or just dump salaries at this point.

You aren’t seriously suggesting Verdugo is even close to Betts. Think what you want, more moves coming. They have no core to this team. Best to unload shit and pick up prospects.

No, he isn't but he also doesn't currently cost nearly as much as Betts does either. IF Sox are dumping salary (which they did with the Betts move for sure), he is a solid player at his cost. I'd put him above average right now with definite growth potential. I have no doubt Chaim wants to make more moves, the question still remains will there be buyers willing to offer up enough for them to do something more.

I don’t think Betts was a salary dump. He wasn’t signed and wasn’t going to sign so it was more of trying to get something rather than him just walking away and getting nothing.

Padres just added Clevinger. They are clearly going for it, think that is 5 deals for them in last 2 days.

Sox dump Pillar as well, that was a short stay.

Sox dump Pillar as well, that was a short stay. Thought he’s be the first to go. Too bad though, he’s fun to watch.

We'll, if they had offered him Dodger's deal here first, he may have signed to it. After all, he didn't go into free agency no matter what like he had said he was going into when the dangled 🥕 grew big enough. They also sent Price and half his salary with him, so maybe not the purest essence of a salary dump, but in many ways, it was partly a dump too.

No big names moved, not really shocked by that as many of the biggest they may have wanted to move aren't performing all that great (JD Martinez, hello?). They were going to move am outfielder for sure, with Bennintendi on DL and probably no takers for JBJ, Pillar was both expendable and probably a player other teams had some interest in. As for the rest, either teams didn't need what we had to offer or the Sox wanted the moon and at least half the sun for some. Chaim will be busy at the winter meetings I'm sure, whether those are virtual or in person.

Not sure if baseball will survive another week. Too bad as the Yanks probably would have finished 59-1. 😊 They seem to be a .500 team 🤔
