    we are getting verdugo and apparently a very intriguing pitching prospect from the twins.

    "Brusdar Graterol, who goes from #MNTwins to #RedSox in three-team blockbuster, has many fans in scouting community. Only 21, throws 100+ mph, elite potential. Said one evaluator: “He is a DUDE.” "

    What I can’t figure out is Red Sox fans are complaining. Mookie was not going to sign any extensions. He wanted to test free agency and get trout money. But this way. They clear price and mookie and have smaller contracts for Verdugo and the pitcher from the Twins (can’t spell that name). Now at the end of 2020, the Red Sox could pursue mookie in free agency. Plus the Red Sox weren’t going to make the playoffs anyway.

    I'd be bummed if I were a Sox fan. If this isn't a white flag for 2020, I don't know what is.

    I am definitely bummed in that regard, but I feel @CONman1505 touched on what we should be happy about...it was a trade that needed to get done to help us going forward...as much as we want to compete in 2020, it would have kept us from competing further in future years

    Trading Betts and Price was solely about getting under the luxury tax, nothing more. John Henry didn't want to pay the $10 million penalty, that's it.

    The Red Sox acted like a mid market team and traded away their best player for financial reasons.

    I understand the need to replenish the farm system in today's overvaluing of farm systems. It's interesting that from the sidelines, we're now seeing things from the billionaires' fiscally shrewd perspective, when not that long ago, all of these problems were easily solved in free agency. Teams used to be willing to compensate for a weak farm system by making a splash on the free agent market, and I think in recent years, we've become conditioned to make sense of things in dollar signs and controllable years. At the core of it, none of that should matter. Each and every team can afford to spend in order to win, and I don't understand the new climate of celebrating teams for taking extra effort to avoid winning now in order to maybe win later.

    I grew up a Giants fan and couldn't imagine defending my team if they traded Barry Bonds away for two prospects. This trade was great for Dodger fans, good for Twins fans, but should be seen as terrible by Sox fans.

    really though? you cant use FA every year as a replacement to develop young players... at some point you need to have atleast a few players to develop.

    I do also see though, how getting under the luxary tax seems a bit insignificant, as the penalty is not that big at all, and signing mookie is worth more than what that penalty ensues, but is he really worth as much as not only that but 400m+ and the crippling of the development of your young players?

    Mookie is turning 28 this year. He wanted 12 years and whatever amount of money. He’ll probably be good for another 5-6 years then fall off like Pujols did. with the angles. Then the Red Sox will be over paying for a declining player. So there’s that too

    I don't think he will fall of quite like Pujols did, but there is a bit of that factor too as well, yes.

    I'm not suggesting FA as a replacement to developing young players. I'm suggesting the Red Sox could have fielded a championship team this offseason utilizing FA and keeping Mookie (and signing him to a long term deal in FA). I don't see how signing Mookie would cripple the development of younger players, either. It's the responsibility of the scouts to recruit and sign players, and the responsibility of your farm system to develop those players into producers at the major league level. Trading away your franchise player for one minor league player and one mlb player isn't a move I'll ever get behind.

    When your team's ownership group is a sports conglomerate worth billions, I don't understand how fans can defend pinching pennies at the cost of fielding a competitive team. Capacity to spend and willingness to spend are two very different things. Every mlb franchise has the capacity to field a competitive team.

    Bryce Harper and Mike Trout are around the same age and both are locked up long term.

    Betting on prospects is great but you don't trade away these calibre of players for a prospect or two that you hope will develop. Unless you are a mid market team that can't afford the tax, which the Red Sox are certainly not.

    This was a money move plain and simple.

    That pitching prospect does look like a stud already though, but I do think we should have had Lux and/or atleast make dodgers pay most of price contract
