"This seems like Boston really pushed some chips in, to the point where some people in the industry are wondering how they ended up with this being the package." Kiley McDaniel breaks down reactions to the Adley Rutschman trade 👀

@kileymcd Ppl said the same thing when we traded for sale and crochet. I’m not going to lose sleep over prospects. I want to win.

@kileymcd CC: @kileymcd

@kileymcd It’s called win now mentality. The orioles and Mike Elias don’t have it.

@kileymcd I would gladly trade the number 50 prospect and a bunch of unranked ones for a multi time all star catcher every day of the year

@kileymcd Take the MLB talent when you can when you have ability to add talent via payroll like the Red Sox do, they can always replenish their farm system.

@kileymcd

@kileymcd “Some people in industry” - what does that even mean? Players, front office, media? I consider myself as being “in industry”

@kileymcd Sunrise GMXF

@kileymcd All of this is copium. Trying to distract from the fact that Adley was the top prospect in baseball, BAL had a playoff window for multiple years, and pissed it away

@redsoxstats @kileymcd At least Curtis mead had the decency to get a baseball thrown at his wrist, Adley’s seasons gonna end running to first

@kileymcd Eyanson is the only one that hurts

@kileymcd

@kileymcd Prospects huh?

@kileymcd As an orioles fan this is a huge overpay by Boston. With boras as his agent along with his declining production there’s no way Baltimore was resigning him after next season.

@kileymcd @zachbollinger18

@kileymcd Bro top 100 and top 150? Who cares? Adley’s value has yo-yo’d that’s fair, but he established as one of the better all around catchers in the game when healthy and all we got back was a few possible big leaguers. It’s a joke

@kileymcd

@kileymcd Boston just emptied the farm for Adley and I’m living for the chaos. Red Sox going full win-now mode is the most Boston thing ever. Duck boats loading up already?

@kileymcd The Red Sox previous top prospects turned out to be bums or can’t stay healthy. Worth the risk when you have a chance to make a run.

@kileymcd You only make a move like this if you believe the payoff will dwarf the price.

@kileymcd

@kileymcd They did make some interesting moves. We shall see how they work out for this season.

@kileymcd Yeah… that return for Baltimore is kind of ridiculous. Boston just emptied the farm for 1.5 years of Adley

@kileymcd It’s called WTF??????

@kileymcd Boston clearly decided they were all-in. Giving up that prospect package for Rutschman shows how much they value a difference making catcher right now. Do you think the return was too rich, or was it fair for a controllable All-Star?

@kileymcd It's too cool and sweaty

@kileymcd Vai ser curioso acompanhar esse pacote e as leituras por trás. ⚾️💬Interessante ver como Boston jogou as chips pesado.

@kileymcd Is that Christopher Cross?

@kileymcd I had to listen to this guy talk during the broadcast last night and I really just wanted to punch myself in the face until I bled to death

@kileymcd Rise againg 🦅

@kileymcd I think the Yankees jumping in at the end forced the Red Sox to add to their package.

@kileymcd The surprise is overblown. Boston clearly valued the prospects over one catcher. What would you have demanded instead?
