JMU is my alma mater, so gotta love the trade! Congrats on 14K, will be a lot more to follow.

[@redseatradio]

Thanks so much! Hopefully he becomes someone!

Valdez is league average, has some pop, .240 15 hrs. Good pickup for low salary team but Sox need better

[@erikjager4704]

@@acegolfman3203 You must be blind to his awful defense.

[@petergarcia6645]

As you pointed out Valdez didn't have a spot here so whatever. Hopefully they stick with stated goals to improve the pitching and get a right handed power hitter. Crochet is a good start but they absolutely have to do more.

[@redseatradio]

Have too for sure. It's the big leap we have been wanting the sox to take but now it's time to fly

[@forgottenpath5919]

Living here in Pittsburgh, I'm glad Valdez will have a shot with the Pirates. Little guy with legit pop, I can see him excelling in a platoon role at DH. His defensive metrics are not good and unlikely to get better at 2B.

New favorite prospect?

[@saltygrampy]

I like trades like this, a guy that's pretty much blocked here. And you get a lottery ticket type of relief pitcher. Fingers crossed a Walker Buehler signing and Christian Vazquez trade.

[@markbailly8627]

I'm happy they got more than a bag of balls for Valdez.

[@distractionsinthewind9976]

If you want pitching you pay BIG with major league roster player and prospects in trade or BIG FA money for Burnes with long term contract. That's realistic expectations. Thanks Corbin!

[@robinfowler9477]

+1 on Buehler

[@redseatradio]

Yeah feels like the move we will see

[@Wrongskit]

Pete Alonso was spoken as a possible upgrade at 1B by the Atlhetic,, signing for Red Sox, meaning Yoshida will be traded..makes sense platooning with Casas at DH and 1B...Alonso won't come cheap $$$

[@kandyman2705]

Have to say I agree with everything you said. Why take your foot off the gas with Burnes, when we haven’t spent a dime. Typical Sox. We get Crochet then we slow down. Stupid

Winter just started heating up! Who says the Sox have given up?

[@dennisszantyr7636]

Just do not know. We went from action movies in the winter meetings and after they ended it is back to silent movie era again!! I hope no news is good news but who knows.

[@redseatradio]

Yeaht that is exactly what I am hoping this is. I think it is slightly encouraging that the entire league has kind of come to a standstill

[@whitepinewoods9029]

I was hoping for Pirates pitching prospect Mike Burrows. He’s a local kid, grew up a big Sox fan, plus he’s my friend’s grandson 😀. Made his MLB debut in Sept and struck out Judge and Soto

[@redseatradio]

Maybe some other trade brings him here!

[@justinmulcahy7432]

I think the team's offense can compete for an extended window and is adding some stud prospects in Mayer/Anthony/Campbell. There are almost too many good players to keep. That's why they should improve their pitching and trade for someone else young like Jared Jones. If they add a big free agent, it should be someone like Tanner Scott, who provides help in one of their weaker areas

[@redseatradio]

I agree to some degree, but I also think it is really imporant for these young studs to have a place to lean on and for that place to be solid. With youth is going to come inexperience. Houck has multiple times talked about how when Sale or Paxton or Eovaldi or even Kluber were here that is where he was able to really hone in on what needs to be done that leads to a 2024 like we saw. You can get a guy who is productive as hell and who can be that for insanely talented players

[@waynefurtado695]

@@redseatradio Me neither...........

[@RaymondShaneAndarowski-xu3wq]

Am I crazy that Jared Jones is my top pick. I am sure it would cost Duran Mayer and maybe even Garcia or Blies. Buehler is my favorite top FA target. Lastly, the RH Bats are not necessarily a need if Campbell can play 3B or LF and Grissom takes 2B.

[@lionelgardiner4408]

I think its a good move for Valdez himself as obviously his chances of getting substantial playing time in Boston is far less than slim. I'm surprised there has been nothing on Bregman. It seemed the Sox where all over him, Bregman at 2nd is an interesting idea. Moving Raffy is not! Raffy at 1st.. so what happens with Casas? That players upside is too extreme to simply move him without an unbelievable gain somewhere.

[@PieterVanderWerf-p6v]

Why do we believe the Sox are focused on moving Devers to 1B? Because a couple of people say that they talked about it? A good front office should brainstorm every possibility, including ones that sound crazy.

[@Versatilty]

I was all about Castillo earlier but the more and more I look into him and what it would take to get him I think I would rather take a flyer on Buehler or Burnes even (who I'm also not super high on but at least if Burnes fails it only costs money not prospects.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah I am kind of with you I would rather see them spend on a guy then trade more assets. the big trad has been made we need to see it on the market too

[@FenwayJoe7129]

Valdez was fun to watch but just didn't hit well enough for me. I felt his fielding improved a bit as time went by. Doesn't look like what we got back is all that impressive. Could improve with development perhaps. Kinda feeling neutral about it. I wish they would stop messing around and seriously sign Burnes. Jared Jones I like too. Walker Bueller would be fine providing his elbow is 100 %. I like him a lot. He did look good in the playoffs this year. :) It feels to me like they are going to get more pitching but just who is a mystery. I have heard Seattle wants Casas for Castillo. That I would not do. He belongs in Boston playing first base for years for us. Keep Dever's at third. There is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and its enough to drive you crazy lol. Thanks for another good video Corbin. I cannot wait until spring ! Joe

[@redseatradio]

Yeah it feels like there is a move coming somewhere I just have no idea where it’s gonna come from

[@keithcliche650]

Anytime they add pitching and trade a mediocre player I'm happy. This kid seems to be trending in the right direction and we always need redundant backup in the pen.

[@redmage08]

I have more faith in the Sox system's pitching development. If this guy can become literally anything it's kinda just extra gravy, Valdez and Wilyer for half a season of Vazquez was objectively a good baseball move, though I will always love Vazquez, easily one of Bloom's better trades/moves in general.

[@JeffStonge-ri3vq]

No Money spent yet Mitch Keller of the Pirates is available and under contract for 5 yrs like for about 80mil.

[@separatepeace2432]

I image the pitching market will freeze a bit until Roki signs with LA. These teams will want that rock bottom price, for top end talent.

[@redseatradio]

Maybe but because his price cap is so limited I have to imagine it doesn’t hold up the market too much. You can go into a bidding war and still get sasaki its kind of 2 different markets

[@DallasSoundGuys]

I picture they move Masa for Jordan Montgomery, Devers is DH, Campbell goes to 3rd. Grissom is at 2nd and maybe Meyer takes over 2nd at some point. That’s really young but it seems to fit the budget. I’d love to see everyone produce in that plan. (Just sign Burns).

[@erichastings951]

I picture Mayer going to third base eventually has the range and arm. Also RedSox were giving him reps at third last year. Campbell would go to second in that scenario where he’s most comfortable. I’m not sure Masa gets traded without paying 1/3 or 1/2 his contract and taking on salary. I really don’t understand the Masa hate other than durability. He can flat out hit and works the count. Serviceable left fielder.

[@DallasSoundGuys]

​@@erichastings951 That all sounds good. Mayer and Campbell at 3rd and 2nd. I'm on board with Masa playing as I think he's a really fantastic hitter and there's a place for him. But I don't want to see Casas traded and Devers moved to 1st. I'd rather see Devers at DH as I mentioned (if players are getting shuffled around). I like your take!

[@redseatradio]

Campbell doesn’t really have the arm to be 3rd everyday so I’m not sure this totally works tbh

[@bobmessier5215]

If Yoshida can be optioned to AAA and Roman Anthony takes the DH job and they sign another free agent starting pitcher like Flaherty. I'd feel fine.

[@whitepinewoods9029]

They’re not going to option a guy making 18 million a year, unfortunately.

I dont think youreally want someone as athletic as Roman wasting away at DH. Especially in his first season

[@bobmessier5215]

[@markmccarthy7887]

The Red Sox could easily start 2025 with a rotation of Crochet..Tanner…Giolito…Bello ..Crawford and be in really good shape. The argument could easily be made that a right handed bat is a more legitimate need than a starting pitcher. Crochet was by far the best arm age vs talent wise on the market and they got him…Raffy becoming Big Popi 2.0 should a real consideration. Another bullpen arm or two definitely would help.

[@redseatradio]

Honestly I don’t disagree at all. I will say I think it would be really nice to get that sort of successful vet in there at the top of the rotation for some of these guys to lean on though

[@markbailly8627]

Kutter is the odd man out if another starter is added but Giolito I bet will start the season on the disabled list and when added to the main roster, his innings and pitch counts will be babied coming off major arm surgery. He's only here for 2025 anyway, so he'll need to be replaced for 2026 unless he commits to taking a large pay cut and agents usually don't like doing that

Why do ppl think Buehler can still be good? He hasn’t been good in 4 years. He had like 1.5 good playoff starts and suddenly he’s tagged as this front of rotation option. Dodgers had a huge need in the rotation this offseason and could have easily brought him back to fill the back end of the rotation and didn’t even apply a QO because they knew he’d accept it. Why would he be the savior here? Lance Lynn was good 4 years ago should we trade for him?

[@redseatradio]

The difference is 1. Lynn was never as good as Buehler 2. He wasn’t bad because he was bad he was bad cause he was hurt.

[@fr.joeobrien3678]

Buehler is definitely worth the risk! In a heartbeat.

[@remaracs6283]

@ errr I’d take a look at the stats again. Buehler has him in era but Lynn has put up numbers. I don’t want either is the point. Buehler hasn’t been healthy/good in 4 years. If you’re not expecting Giolito to step in and be the number 2 how could you possibly ask Buehler to?

Surely, The owners aren't giving up completely. If they don't, the fans will stay home,, or get creative sneaking in foods or just loading up on food before the game. These owners deserve MOTHING from the fans if they don't make a serious effort. Treat the owners like they treat the fans, but don't take it out on the players. Support them all you can, guys. But, did the owners all you can guys... Perhaps a few anti- owner crowd chants could be effective. SHAME THEM... They deserve it!

[@RickBrn2]

As far as the trade I think it was just a luck swap, where both teams do it and hope they get lucky that their player does well in the future, for right now it is no big deal and you are right we will most likely forget about this one down the line. As far as any significant trade or FA signing one thing that has happened over the last 4 years now is that anyone the Sox have signed or traded, you heard nothing about prior to the news hitting, even the Crochet trade which we had heard about just happened with no lead up prior. I think most of the noise or rumors that you hear means we are not getting them, unless you get a we have a confirmed report from multiple media outlets (and I mean dependable media not Heyman or others who are usually a yes man or guessing to make themselves look good). So for now, if they do get someone, you will either not of heard about it or not really know of that person. One last thing that Robbie Hyde said was that he heard that multiple times Casa has been referenced in trade talk and when that happens there may be a reason that the Sox do not want to hang onto him even with his power potential, like injury history and persona or that he doesn't want to do an extension that is reasonable for both team and himself. Just something to keep an eye on.

[@redseatradio]

No yeah I am sure that the Sox have legitimate reasoning for throwing Casas' name out there, I just don't know if it is the smartest move they can make

[@vladtheimpaler7878]

This trade is essentially scraping the bottom of the barrel to me. This keeps telling me that this ownership is cheap.

I would much prefer Butler.. No on nick privet. I do nt think Burnes is going to get what wanted. That is why it is taking so long. I would like them add a starter and reliever. I am ok with the lineup.

Go talk to KC about getting Wacha back in Boston. If your going to get a 32-33 year old guy who can throw some innings why not him. His ERA has been good and I bet he wont cost Casas

[@joelluongo7419]

Sox' receive a second round draft pick.. the second Piveta signs a free agent contract.. probably with Toronto. Piveta has four pitches that he throws for strikes.. but, he still hasn't figured out how to pitch.. there is like an inconsistant rythm in his approach to how to pitch.

[@brentbell7235]

I was playing with Baseball Trade Values. Looked at young, controllable pitching and what might fit for the other team. BTV says these are all fair trades. I do not think Seattle is in the headspace of trading any pitcher except Castillo, but… 1) Jarren Duran and David Hamilton for Logan Gilbert. With a career year and 4 years of control Duran is never going to have higher trade value. 2) Wilyer Abreau, David Hamilton, and Josh Winckowski for Bryan Woo. I know the Pirates do not want to trade Jared Jones, but… 3) Wilyer Abreau and Richard Fitts for Jared Jones. I think BTV’s valuation for Jared Jones is too low. They have him around $40 million. Given his stuff, age, years of control I would think he would be valued closer to a Bryan Woo or Bryce Miller $51-$53 million. In my opinion the Sox would need to come up with another $12 million in trade value for this trade to work. I doubt any of these trades happen, but would you do any of them, and which would be your preferred trade?

[@taylorCodes]

Let’s go

[@traci635]

Trading Casas is going to be a huge mistake, as we have NO ONE ready to play 1B and it's crazy if anyone thinks Devers should be our 1B....I'm hoping we keep Casas and just sign a guy to play 3B and move Devers to DH.... I hear the Pirates might offer Keller, hadn't heard the Jones rumor....

Seems like the Sox are selling second basemen to Pittsburgh… first Yorke now Valdez….

[@dynamark_7232]

Valdez might play 1B for Pittsburgh

[@redseatradio]

Yeah just goes to show how much depth the sox have in that area

[@erichastings951]

I’m feeling like the Red Sox are super reluctant to pay or overpay for talent. If they wanted Burnes they’d have gone and gotten him. I also think the loss of a draft pick and loss of 500K doesn’t sit well with them.

[@redseatradio]

Yeah but if you get Burnes and pivetta signs elsewhere it’s dead even

[@erichastings951]

That’s a big “IF”. However they also need an impact RH bat that would require another pick taken. They seem to want to get young and cost controlled players. Which is fine but if you keep trading your Farm system instead of money as a resource. It’s going to cost the Red Sox far more in the end.

[@jackhunden1912]

Dropping some salary, pitcher may pan out. Valdez not likely to make team in 25.

[@redseatradio]

Pretty much

[@paulscott6998]

I wouldn’t trade Duran. No way no how. 700 AB’s. He shouldn’t be going anywhere but right to the top of that batting order. He’s a stud and basically he does something else really well. He puts fannies in the seats. Right now he’s the face of the Red Sox, and he will be for awhile. Just now reaching his prime. Crochet looks ready to have a breakout season, and something tells me Bello is also. If Mayer would step up and take 3rd base I’d have a higher opinion of him than I do. Tough to lose Teel. I watched him at Virginia and that kid was struck with blessing from above. Chicago knew what they were doing asking for him. I like Anthony, but Teel was always my guy of the big three. He probably has the biggest chance for 2025 impact. I don’t think Anthony is ready as a 20 year old, but we’ll see. Mayer probably has the best chance of that now. You’d have to go back to the “Gold Dust Twins,” for me remembering this kind of young talent. Freddy Lynn and Jim Rice. They also had a rookie of the year Carlton Fisk at catcher. That team would go on to play the Big Red machine in the WS. Johnny Bench, Davey Conception, Pete Rose and Dave Morgan. I was at the game when Fisk willed that HR to stay fair as a 14 year old with my Grandfather in a couple of boxseats behind RS dugout in 1975.

[@redseatradio]

I think you’re dead wrong about Teel in fact Breslow came out and said he didn’t think Teel was near ready for MLB. Roman can be a superstar Teel was always the ceiling of a solid player never for Roman could be. Also they aren’t trading Duran

[@paulscott6998]

@@redseatradioYou really want to put all your capital in Breslow like that? I personally don’t think he is running the show just yet. He’s taking orders from John Henry, who I think is playing things very tight to the vest. It’s a cat and mouse game with Boras and Henry. Boras trying to control the whole of baseball and free agency, and Henry sitting there with probably the best farm in baseball getting to be the wrench in Boras doings! Boras wants the RS as free agent players. Henry is not taking his calls. This is like Trump and Putin not talking to the Globalist!

@redseatradio come on Corbin, I will tell you what the hell I am talking about. Since the Crochet trade, it seems they aren't going to do much else. And would it surprise you if that ends up being the only thing they do? Oh great, more prospects. This team as it is right now might be better than last year's squad but they will not be legitimate contenders. They still need some key pieces, but it seems they are not willing to go for the jugular in acquiring Corbin Burnes and I wouldn't be surprised if they let guys like Walker B and Flaherty go elsewhere and re-sign Nick Pivetta. Then we still have the right handed bat situation. Keep in mind that they are at a disadvantage now and will have to severely overpay for the right pieces because they have garnered this negative reputation over the past few years. I am still not convinced John Henry is willing to take risky investments for the team outside of Juan Soto.
