TENINCH Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Red Sox had the nerve to ask the Twins for another top prospect? We aren't getting Mookie Betts. Are they stupid? Ask the Dodgers for more compensation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston's just trying to snake some extra value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the LA market got teased with getting a superstar they absolutely should ask for more. #negotiatinginbadfaithbedamned 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is he a known commodity? The Twins dont share medical records and evaluations with all the other teams. Red Sox conducted their own exam and evaluated his injuries. They didn't have his entire medical history prior to the trade. Graterol was starting games in the minors this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we trade a 20 something 'starter' for a 31 year old? He strengthens our bullpen so I'm not disappointed in getting him back. Red Sox just realized they made a stupid trade so instead of pissing off their fan base they gave him an "injury" so they could void the trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that makes me lean heavily toward the "this is all optics/bad faith negotiating for Boston" is that they DIDN'T ask for a replacement prospect, they asked for more! They weren't saying "give us a different guy cause this one is broken" they were just saying "give us another guy". Sure doesn't seem like it's about thinking Graterol is gonna break down medically when you still want him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MookieMonstah Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Lol if you actually think the Red Sox made this up. That is one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen. He failed his medical, end of story really. He doesn’t hold the value he did before the trade. Sox probably hoped he could become a middle of the rotation guy and something came up in medical that made them doubt he’d ever be more than a reliever. Completely changes his value. Every scouting report on the guy is that he has the stuff to be a good starter but could also play out of the pen. Imagine not knowing anything about your own prospects.
