But I was told that Chaim was out of his depth, and that the whole thing was falling apart because the fans wouldn't have it.The inclusion of Downs, if accurate, makes the last week worth it
Nah, we all ready have No. 2 at shortstop. More in need of "Red Sox do what Yankees couldn't ... get Jeter to move to 2B"We need a thread of:
Welcome to Boston, Shortstop Jeter.
Amazing, isn't itBut I was told that Chaim was out of his depth, and that the whole thing was falling apart because the fans wouldn't have it.
Insanity. I'm happy. I'm surprised. Can't believe we got em.Hell yeah, love the fact we got Downs.
I have to admire your commitment to staying on-brand.This is grotesque and appalling and frankly I'm not sure I can root for this team anymore.
You were given an opportunity at a do-over. To not take this disgusting person Verdugo on your team. And you chose to do it AGAIN.
I'm beside myself.
There's only one reality-based way that Best Player might play here again, and this was it. The return is icing on the cake.Sucks they couldn't have included a non Verdugo guy after all the shit that's come to light about him. What a downgrade from one of the best players to ever play for the Red Sox
Here’s what Fangraphs said about him in May 2019Connor Wong, a 3rd round pick in 2017 out of University of Houston. OPS'd .997 in AA last year in 40 games after a promotion from single A. he played 24 of those games at C, 10 at 3B and 6 at 2B, so he's listed as C/INF prospect.

I think Wong might be closer to 10-15 range. Downs vs Casas probably depends on how you weight ceiling vs floor.I'll assume Downs is now #1 in our system and Wong is top 5? 23 year old catcher who hit 24 homers isn't too shabby.
FG rates Wong as a 40+ FV prospect, which would make him #7 in our system at best. They have Downs as a 45+, which would make him #2 to Casas at best. Of course that's just one source.I'll assume Downs is now #1 in our system and Wong is top 5? 23 year old catcher who hit 24 homers isn't too shabby.
SoxProspects.com does not list him on its 1-60?Jeter Downs has a brother, Jerry, currently in the Red Sox system. Possible they start the year together in Salem or Portland.
No, in addition to Graterol.Wow, so the Dodgers are getting a comp B pick instead of Graterol?
The Red Sox absolutely did the right thing here. Good for Bloom
Jerry is an org guy, not a prospect.SoxProspects.com does not list him on its 1-60?
Sounds like Gasterol's medicals might not have been as squeaky clean as Dr. Boras and Dr. Heyman suggested.not officially related to us anymore, but
