Heard Manuel Margot may be going to Boston from San Diego in a Betts trade. Margot is a good player but I hope the Red Sox aim higher in a return for Betts than Manuel Margot.

Margot is essentially the same player JBJ's been the last few years (below average hitter, but good defensive OF, good baserunner), albeit younger and cheaper. he's actually hit better at home than on the road over his career, which is pretty surprising for a Padres hitter. He was a decent but unspectacular hitter in the minors (career .287/.349/.423) and even his PCL production was meh (.304/.351/.426 in a hitters park, only a 108 wRC+)

I suppose Naylor's interesting, but his raw power hasn't really shown up outside of his stint in the PCL (which should usually be taken with a grain of salt).

Neither of the pitchers mentioned excite me at all, but I'd much rather have Lucchesi. Quantrill has been very pedestrian for a 1st rounder and he just doesn't miss many bats (10.2 H/9 throughout the minors, 8.3 K/9 is meh)

and I can't say the prospect of taking on the Wil Myers contract excites me.

MLB rumors: Red Sox moving closer to dealing Mookie Betts; Mitch Moreland returns to Boston

don't hate it. hopefully they platoon him with Dalbec/Chavis.

Sounding like the potential Dodgers deal would include David Price

If any team would take a player like Price with that contract it would be the Dodgers

Alex Verdugo is rumored to be going back to the Red Sox if Betts goes to the Dodgers. That'd be a good return for Betts.

Oof.

Earlier today, LHP James Paxton underwent a microscopic lumbar discectomy with removal of a peridiscal cyst. The surgery was performed by Dr. Andrew Dossett in Dallas, Texas. His approximate timeline to return to Major League action is 3-4 months.

Better hope those guys don't beat their wives. Yankees will be running super thin.

it's a shame Montgomery's been hurt the last two years, he had a pretty promising rookie year.
