    In order to do so, they have to trade away good talent or go over CBT1. For a backup C improvement, I don’t see them doing either.

    What would be interested in from Boston?
    I thought it was pitching before but it seems like we're ok there.

    Boston has a surplus of good lefty hitting outfielders, namely Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu.

    Duran and one of their pitching prospects or no thanks. I dont even want to trade Paredes. So it has to be an insane offer. Or they can kick rocks

    Connelly Early would be a starting piece from Boston

    $70m deferred, reportedly. You don't think Bahstn could have done that?

    Bregman has always been a bit of a weird dude, so who knows?

    eta: Also, everyone thought he was a tailor-made hitter for Fenway and the Green Monster....except (basically equal # of 2025 games and PAs):

    Home: .246 .347 .414 .761
    Road: .296 .371 .504 .875

    I heard it was the no trade clause being the issue with Boston

    If Luis Arraez or Willi Castro are getting desperate to find a landing spot I wouldn’t mind Houston signing either one of them to a big league deal. If Michael Conforto, Mike Tauchman, Jesse Winker, or Alex Verdugo are ready to take a minor league deal then Houston might be a fit for them.

    Boston is a weird town, not for everyone. I personally like it but I know some people that really dislike it.

    Ultimately Boston offered $10,000,000 less money, over half the money in deferrals decades down the road and Boston refused a full no trade clause.

    Did Bregman just prefer Chicago? Maybe, I have no idea - but the Red Sox offer in reality wasn’t that close to the Sox.

    I am sure there is part of him that wishes he wasn’t going to his third team in three years and had worked something out with the Astros - but in the end Bregman got 7/215 and a full no trade clause leaving the Astros.

    Needs that NTC to ensure he can leverage his way back to Houston down the road!
