The Carpenter surgery is just Lucchino finally getting smacked with some karma.

An A-ball reliever and a guy going in for elbow surgery… That’s a step or two down from Castro or Garza, no?

LOL if you ever thought they’d get anywhere close to that.
sourbob
Of course I didn’t think that.
That’s why it’s funny.

I saw Boegarts and had a conniption, then realized it was not Xander but his brother. Still seems like a lot to give up as a PTBNL, given his performance so far and genes.

Can’t post the link here, but here is a rough part of his scouting report:
“Scouting Report: Very strong – particularly his hands. Raw
power potential. Loves to play. Poor defensive player.”

So the Cubs just got a DH after drafting one (Vogelbach)?
sourbob
Going on poundage, Vogelbach is like a DH and a half.

Likely not even that. It’s been suggested that the only reason they signed Jair was because it convinced Xander to sign with them as well (he has said in an interview before that there were other teams trying to sign him, but the Sox were willing to sign his brother too, so he chose them over the other teams).

inb4 Jair Bogaerts becomes a MVP caliber baseball player down the line.

I’m really getting mad that the Chris Carpenter links have been bringing the Cardinals Ace

larry lucchino is bored, and is now demanding another PTBNL

I’m sorry, but I still dont get why BOS had to give up an PTBNL, way to negotiate!

can’t trade exec for a player

I guess what it comes down to is that the Sox were already planning on dumping Theo; so when they didn’t get what they wanted, they accepted whatever the Cubs felt like sending.
