Deadline Deal; Red Sox have fallen out of contention, Cardinals have climbed back into contention, Guardians remain in contention but need what every playoff team is shopping for…RP. Cardinals get a much needed top of the rotation SP in Sale & solidify their infield with the short term Rosario plus $10M in cash to help carry the load for this year to make a playoff push. Guardians get a dominant bullpen arm in Schreiber under control for 3 more years to help with a playoff push. Red Sox get a LHP in AAA that is ready for the show plus a lottery ticket SS in 18yr old Angel Genao and move on from the final years of the Sale contract with an eye towards that ‘24 free agent class.
I think the Red Sox win the deal because for it to happen John Henry has stepped in and changed direction again and has decided the team needs “STAR POWER” and Ohtani is the target that he doesn’t let get away.
If they were to decide they want him, yes, they would be the high bidder and I don’t think it would take long or be a dragged out process, I think it would happen quietly and fast. Before Thanksgiving.
Angel Genao – what’s his story? Hurt? Concussion?

I’ll be sincere… Cleveland wins this deal at the end of the day and it’s not even close.
Cleveland doesn’t really need a RP, but it be impossible to skip a deal like this.
I’d still like Cleveland to get Turner back as well…

You think they will be the highest bidder for Ohtani?

I’ll give you that Ohtani could turn down the best deal to stay on the west coast though
You think Chaim is going to offer a bag to Ohtani ?
