MLB Daily Thread: 8/23/17 Red Sox Win, Sadly So do Yankees, Irving a Celtic, Judge K Streak DEAD

[redseat]

Well the Red Sox offense came alive last night.

Negative X-rays for JBJ so that's good.

Solar Eclipse a few days ago and Fister actually was very good

Yankees crushed homers and won @bksballer89 your estatic!

Judge's K streak ends

Irving a Celtic... EH... Should have kept young talent and draft picks

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Well who woulda thought the Red Sox will get past the Tribe in October because of Doug Fist her

I expected the score to be the other way around when I realized Fister was pitching

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Nice trade for both teams

Cavs definitely did incredibly well

But Irving is gonna be a nice piece on the C's

Hasn't he done this twice to them?

Yeah he is a nice piece but I really liked the direction the C's were going prior to the trade

He's made 3 starts against the Indians in the last 3 weeks. 2 of them have been very good. The other was last week when he sucked in that make up game.

I agree, they gave up too much and I'm always worried about how good guys really are after they leave Lebron and his drawing 3 defenders, but they wanna go for it

I do not understand what's not to like about this trade. You improve and get younger at PG, and you keep Brown and Tatum while still potentially having a top 5 pick next year or the year after.

Salazar could be done for the season

Could be big blow

Terrible trade for Boston

He played 3 years without LeBron at age 19-21 and averaged 21/6/4

I would have just traded IT/Crowder for Kyrie. No way would I give Cleveland that unprotected pick. Boston likely doesn't get a 1st round pick this year. Hard to see the Lakers being that bad where Boston can get their draft pick

 

[soxfan1468927]

It really isn't.

 

[bksballer89]

It really isn't.

Kyrie isn't that much better than IT where I would risk losing out on a top 5 pick where you have 2 franchise changing guys likely going 1st and 2nd in the draft. Boston basically put themself in position to play into late May for next 3 seasons or so but never good enough to win a title.

1. They still have their own pick, so they would have a first round pick
2. Not sure why it would be hard to see the Lakers getting a 2-5 pick

Sure he was a stat stuffer on a Perennial doormat

They traded an all star PG for a better all star PG

Than the other stuff which puts it over the top IMO

Cleveland offered Irving for Porzingas, look how much better they did here
