  1. I’m blank on who we would want from the Angels. Is this just budget management?

  2. I can’t believe they gave us Trout and are eating the entirety of that salary! All for Grissom!

  3. Incredible asset management by the Sox to turn Devers, Betts and Sale into….*checks notes* Connor Wong, Sonny Gray, Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks.

  4. lol this is fun the second trade this offseason with one of my other teams

    Edit: fuck guys it’s my life and I am a Sox fan first and foremost let people enjoy the sport however they want to

  5. What a relief to know that I’ll never again hear the name Vaughn Grissom and realize that I’ve once again forgotten that he exists

  6. Clears a 40 man spot the day before the Rule 5 draft. Cardinals left Blaze Jordan unprotected didn’t they? How funny would that be?

  7. I remember hearing that he didn’t get some kids an autograph for something like them not saying please. Bye Vaughn

  8. The Chris Sale trade doesn’t get enough heat for being one of the worst ever. Even at the time, I thought it was bad, and it’s kept looking worse and worse ever since. They dumped Sale at the absolute nadir of his value, making themselves worse in the present without banking any significant future potential — unless you believed in Grissom’s potential, even though he’d looked mediocre to bad, depending on how deeply you looked, in his MLB playing time so far.

    Sure, they couldn’t *know* Sale would go on to have a Cy Young season, but they knew that was the upside. Sure he was expensive and injury prone… but then they turned around and signed old, injury-prone Giolito to a pricey deal to replace him. Which I guess makes sense if you thought Giolito and Sale were on par and Grissom was something. Unfortunately, neither of those things was close to true.
