This is all they can get for Contreras? Lolol
What did you think they were going to get for him lol
Mo could have gotten more than this!
All of a sudden every fan in CT is an expert GM, and minor league talent scout.
If the Cards were trading for WC, would you want them to surrender a top 5 talent? ......didn't think so.
It doesn’t take an expert to see this trade is underwhelming! But since you’re such an expert I’m glad you like the deal!

Hunter Dobbins is the main piece coming back our way.
Swing man coming off an ACL tear. A solid return for our best hitter.
Tore ACL playing football in high school.
that was prior to 2019.
Opti
He tore it again last season in July, ending his promising rookie season.

I mean we already didn’t have any RH bats and now we lose our best one? Lol
This is about moving Herrera to 1B.
Probably more Burleson to first

Wasn’t worried about how much Bloom seems tunnel focused on the Red Sox till now.
Concerning he can’t seem to work with anyone else.
It has been reported all along that Boston was the top player in the game for WC.
I haven't read that other teams refuse to deal with him. If what you say is fact, that is concerning.
Contreras also had a NTC and preferred to stay would waive it only for a very limited number of teams so that severely limited blooms options. Same with gray so to draw the conclusion he can’t work with anyone else from that is crazy

I was hoping they’d keep WC but at almost 34 probably wise to deal now?
Lots of questions of course....BUT....he HAS to be the first Yhoiker to be part of the organization.

I have no problem with him dealing with Boston, other than, are we sure he still isn’t working for them?
I mean, Boston has a lot of good prospects and MLB ready players who are currently blocked. But we get a guy who has torn his ACL. “ twice” , and projects to be a #4, at best starter!
I can’t believe some of you people actually approve of this deal.
I’ve always been against him Trading Donovan, but now I’m terrified of what that return will look like!

Management clearly has no expectation of fan support for the next two years.

Well then get someone else for LF, I don't care about that part. Point is they should throw Walker's glove in the trash and let him focus on mashing.

If you want MLB ready, Dobbins was good enough to be in the Red Sox rotation last year and pitched very well before his injury in his rookie campaign. There is potential there for a mid-rotation guy, which would be a good get.
