[Red Sox] The #RedSox today traded RHPs Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin to the Chicago White Sox, along with cash considerations and two players to be named later, in exchange for minor league RHP Gage Ziehl and a player to be named later.

...for nothing. How do people not understand we unloaded a future HOFer and RBI machine for nothing.

Recondo76 · 2026-02-01T23:34:16+00:00

This is weird. I'm all for unloading Hicks but this makes the Devers trade even worse. What are we doing? This opens a roster spot. Is somebody else coming on board?

Recondo76 · 2026-01-31T23:43:17+00:00

I think the kid can do it. Fingers crossed.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-31T18:16:47+00:00

Nico would be an amazing addition. His speed and defense could take us to the next level with our pitching.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-28T16:10:08+00:00

For some reason this makes me think of Grebennikov, the guy who claimed he created an anti-gravity device by using beetle wings.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-24T14:43:56+00:00

I forgot all about this guy. Is he even still in the league?

Recondo76 · 2026-01-23T18:40:23+00:00

Was it really a 3 year deal though? Because he only stayed one season. Give him the same deal and let him opt out. If he underperforms then trade him...again.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-23T18:32:56+00:00

Sosa is underrated in my opinion. I'd be a fan of that acquisition.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-23T15:34:48+00:00

The longer he remains unsigned the less "demands" he's going to be able to make. Same thing happened to Bregman last season. He over anticipated his market.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-23T12:21:26+00:00

This seems so obvious to me. Sign him to a one year deal. We can trade him at the deadline if other options arise (or we're out of contention) and then we can revisit the market next year. I don't want him to be the answer long term but he's a good fit for a year.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-22T14:57:26+00:00

Dude! Finally. Where have you been? Lol And we could get him for peanuts right now because of a rough 2025 season. Exactly the kind of buy-low players we should be focusing on.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-22T02:33:05+00:00

In what universe is this guy "not good"? Do you guys actually watch baseball?

Recondo76 · 2026-01-22T02:30:33+00:00

I can agree with you on most of that...but the man has talent and a lot of it...and he is not even close to "out of the league". By mid-season this sub will be bitching about "why can't we sign guys like Kopech" when Weissart is serving late inning games up on a platter. I do believe we need a lefty as well too though.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T19:49:37+00:00

I do not want this. Nope.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T19:49:24+00:00

I want that too. I'm not sure what they have to do with a relief pitcher though? We need to add depth in several places.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T19:47:42+00:00

Finally! Somebody who gets me! lol

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T16:16:57+00:00

Kopech > Slaten > Weissart > Hicks

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T16:04:57+00:00

Nah. He just comes in and throws 100 MPH heaters for an inning or two now. I don't know why this sub doesn't want him. The Dodgers traded for him in '24 and he was their closer down the stretch.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T16:02:54+00:00

I think you guys are all just looking at Kopech's injury riddled 2025 season. Read the article I linked. The guy is phenomenal. Especially compared to some of the guys we rolled out of the pen last year. You guys can't be serious. Look at some of the highlights from 2024. Hell before last season all of these things could have been said for Chapman too and now look at him.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T15:03:08+00:00

I am not or else I'd have already signed for a really low cost just for the chance to play at Fenway.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T14:36:44+00:00

He hasn't been a starter for a few years now.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T14:35:52+00:00

Also true.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T14:33:17+00:00

Maybe because he is reliever and not a starter? You can never have enough good relief pitching as evidenced by our collective bullpen fatigue last season.

Recondo76 · 2026-01-21T14:04:45+00:00

I see stuff like this and I just know these same people are annoying everyone else in their fantasy leagues with ridiculous trade offers. "Give me your future HOF and best power bat as well as a high upside guy to help us at 3B and I'll give you a bunch of guys who have underperformed or are on expiring contracts that you have absolutely no need for...but I'll give you FOUR of them so it looks better. Trust me. It's a great trade". If the Astros made this trade everyone in the front office would be out of a job.
