Really just one bad away game though, in Cleveland.Not this year they're not.

He would be killed if he made the trade from either side. After the last few major trades, Beane better hope he hits on at least two of these prospects though.Fair to say this board would be largely killing Dombrowski if he made this trade?

Agreed. The Red Sox of 2018-2022 SHOULD be a monster as well with Betts, Bogaerts, Benintendi, and Bradley reaching their primes, with Devers coming on board, and with Sale, Price, Rodriguez, etc. in the rotation.Damn, props to Cashman for these last two deadlines. Absolutely fantastic trades up and down. Dude is good. The Yankees have to be the AL East favorite now and the NYY of 2018-2022 are going to be a monster. Yikes.
Probably, because message boards tend to be filled with prospect huggers.Fair to say this board would be largely killing Dombrowski if he made this trade?

Not many teams could assemble a comparable package without mortgaging their future, and the ones that could, like the Braves or White Sox, it wouldn't make much sense for them.Trying to think of a Redsox package that is equivalent and really can't come up with one.
That and injured players aren't generally traded. It's hard putting value on them because their rankings will be suppressed. Mateo and Fowler are comparable to Manual Margot when healthy. With Kap, who knows at this point. Hard to judge a guys upside when he's pitched all of 29 innings in 3 years.Not many teams could assemble a comparable package without mortgaging their future, and the ones that could, like the Braves or White Sox, it wouldn't make much sense for them.
Yeah OAK took a pretty big gamble here.
Ceiling is fairly high but there literally is no floor to this trade. Fowler may never make it back, Mateo is being traded at the peak of his value over the last 18+ months and Kap is a real wild card.
Personally I doubt Kap ever makes it. He is built like an NFL SS, not an MLB pitcher. Can't think of another pitcher that muscular in the upper body. I don't think you can be that jacked and still possess the flexibility needed to throw 100+ innings per year.
The outlook isn't rosy, especially for a guy who relies on speed as much as he does. This is an injury that athletes frequently find themselves permanently diminished from.I think this is a great trade. Two injured guys and a stud. How many people have even come back 100 percent from Fowler's injury?
You might want to take a gander at Cot's. After 2019 the current team will start losing players to free agency, starting with Sale. If Price doesn't opt out, I'm not sure they can afford to extend Sale without losing 2 or more of the kids.Agreed.

Of course, woulda shoulda coulda...and it hasn't helped that almost literally every single Red Sox position player has underperformed at the plate this year. Ugh.
Anyway, as much as I hate to say it.... baseball is better when the Yankees are good, as much as it pains me to say. IMO, anyway.
MIL was desperate for a starter and their pitching coach was Gray’s pitching coach at Vanderbilt, they were reportedly interested as were his old team OAK. They have depth for replacements in Cessa and Sheffield and Adams, they’re going to move him anyway in the winter, and this way he clogs a roster spot all of August.I think it’s very likely he has low value in the market and a little value as deep depth for them if injuries strike. They did the right thing, though I get why people want him gone
