Sounds like nothing else for the Sox. I'm fine with that. DD did a pretty good job this deadline and really didn't gut the farm whatsoever

He is a step below Moncada and NES, but still a top 20 guy. He has had a monstrous second half and considering he is only 19 and in Salem, it is very possible he was told to work on seeing pitches in the first half. His walk rate has improved and he is hitting for more power than last year. Not to mention he has 4 HRs in the last 9 games. Who do you think is in his class as far as redsox prospects when you consider age, level and results? I could see making an argument that Basabe could have a similar ceiling due to defense and speed, but he has a huge hole in his swing and way more bust potential. I'm not seeing it? Maybe Kopech and Groom if all goes well.
They can have Sale. I would much rather the Red Sox empty the farm on JoFer (if he ever becomes available).
I'm fine with passing at that price. Hopefully the Sox give Swihart another chance behind the plate.

Told ya the Sox should've made him a reliever last year when they had the chance...
Had to amend the post, MLB Network talked about Gallo then the structure was different.
As per Rosenthal.
There’s a reliever going in the deal, too, with top prospects Lewis Brinson and Luis Ortizheaded to Milwaukee, per MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan (via Twitter).

Joey Gallo not in the Lucroy deal, per @Sullivan_Ranger. Says it's Lewis Brinson and Luis Ortiz.

So the Yankees are now the Rays. How is this anything but LOL-Awesome with a shit eating grin from ear to ear? Some things in life baffle me.
Agreed. He made his trades before the deadline price insanity. Sounds like he did his due diligence today but would not overpay with any of the Big 4.
Jeffress to the Rangers in that deal
The Sox are so far behind Cleveland and Texas in terms of talent now

Just wait until the 2019 season when the Yankees roll out a lineup with nine Hall of Famers and a rotation of five HoFers. They won't even need a bullpen!
I heard that Harper and Machado are actually considering paying New York for the privilege of playing there.
Rangers pitching isn't anything special still. Cleveland on the other hand, yes I agree
Right, and even more, they have been essentially forced into this by how successful Boston has been at building a young core. I don't know why any Sox fans wouldn't be thrilled about where their team stands currently, not just this season but even more so going forward.
Huh? What?!?!
In a surprising move, the Twins will acquire left-hander Hector Santiago from the Angels, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Right-hander Ricky Nolasco and former top prospect Alex Meyer are going to the Angels, Rosenthal adds in a second tweet.

Jay Bruce trade is now Dilson Herrera and pitcher Max Wotell, no Nimmo. But he wasn't the reason it was originally scuttled.
You have to wonder if the last few weeks made DD think that this team was more than one piece away from a title, especially with Koji potentially done for the year along with Smith, lackluster Drew. Make a tweak, hope to get healthy, and see if you can catch fire down the stretch, but don't go all in when it doesn't look like this team is going to be a juggernaut even with all of the star power it has in house already. Given how awful our catching has been, I would have liked Lucroy, but I don't mind them not going for it in the least.
I will be very glad that today was boring when AB is up in a few weeks and looks like a future star.
