Hey, do you want my lovely wife like she's great loyal
I'm gonna give her to you in exchange for a prostitute who won't even end up sleeping with me one time
Because she's so disgusted and ashamed. That's the boston red socks right now
Yeah
we're gonna trade rafael debers our best hitter a guy who won a championship with us a guy who we gave the honors of the
Biggest contract in franchise history. Yeah, let's send him across the country for practically a salary dump because you know
At the very least we'll still have alex bregman at third base his replacement
No, you can't even get that right so now you have nothing but all right
Well, you could make the argument the cubs overpaid for bregman because they probably did well
The red socks got some players for debers
I mean I said it was a salary dump, but they got players for him and they're actually doing well right now
They're killing it a couple of those players the red socks got for debers. Surely there isn't a catch to them being so good
i'm gonna kill myself
Wow, i'm going to kill myself and it's your fault. They don't have those players anymore
That's the catch because they traded
them
Right after trading for them and at this point it seems like anyone and anything the red socks touch turns to freaking dust
That's the vibe right now
The one thing that can't turn to ---- are the elite humans who watch these videos you people are untouchable
And if you're not one of them yet, you have a great chance to not end up like players when they join boston, apparently
So, okay
They traded debers for three players. No four players actually kyle harrison
Sounds like a ******* made-up person, but he's real and he basically was made up while with the red socks
We'll get to that but he's a pitcher
They also got jordan hicks another pitcher then james tibbs an outfielder and then jose baio another pitcher
So they went heavy on the pitching and you know, usually when you trade someone as big as rafael debers
I mean, he's literally a big dude, but I mean his name his talent
Usually when you trade a guy like that
Yes part of the value boston got the the value they got in return was the money like losing that big contract
But you'd still think the goal is to get players that can help you in exchange for him
Which they did at first yet. Only one of those four players are still even in the organization
Somehow it hasn't even been a year yet. And somehow
Three of those players are somewhere else all in separate places now, no, okay jordan hicks, whatever
I don't I don't know if most red socks fans will first off even remember that he was on the team
And if you don't you're better off because it was almost like he was hired to get obliterated on the mound whenever he was
Out there. I mean it was actually fascinating
Just how bad he really was like you think his salary went up the more he got rocked like he had an
Incentive to be ----. This basically sums up hicks's time in boston. This is bad
Yeah, bad like good now shovel some cheese curls into my trash hole
He's on the white socks now and their fans already want him dead too. So yeah kicks whatever the other guys though
Let's start with harrison. The red socks basically treated him like he didn't exist
He had pitched in the big leagues before the red socks specifically traded for him
And it was as if they forgot he was even in the deal like the giants accidentally put him in and boston never noticed
He made only two starts with the red socks was pretty good in them
But that was it the rest of the time
They just had him rotting in triple a and they undervalued him so much
That they traded him and two other players to the brewers for three of their players all infielders
One of them being caleb durbin the red socks starting third baseman to begin this season
Who has been atrocious to start the year now? Yes, it's very early
Hopefully this ends up being nothing and durbin goes off
But it looks bad because like very bad because not only is durbin not doing well and not only is harrison
Simultaneously doing well in milwaukee, but so is david hamilton
One of the guys boston just threw in as an extra like here you go
He's even going off to start his brewer career. He he was never great in boston
He was never a good bat. His biggest value is his speed
He puts on a brewer uniform and becomes prime prince fielder
Meanwhile, kyle harrison's become a whitewashed version of cc sabathia
Like what the hell is going on and this isn't the first recent example of a trade immediately aging
awfully
So bad for the red socks specifically like with the brewers who the red socks play this week, by the way, which is perfect
So quinn priester is another pitcher for the red socks that the red socks sent to milwaukee and he instantly started breaking
Franchise records once he got over there. He was so good
So it's a combination of the brewers being very good at helping under the radar players reach their potential
They're very good at just developing them really helping them unlock something. They're basically the national league version of the rays
So it's a combination of that and also the red such is for some reason not valuing obvious talent
Like it wasn't like harrison sucked in the five minutes. He was in boston same with priester
I mean they traded for them for a reason and then they just for some reason didn't want him anymore
So they get ranger suarez instead who's been getting rocked to start the year even though going back to the world baseball classic
I mean this can't just be unluckiness
It's got to be some sort of issue with the way they're valuing these players because i've still yet to talk about the worst one
James tibbs the one non pitcher the giants sent to boston for devers
Yeah, well not even two months later the red socks turned around and flipped tibbs and someone else
It wasn't even just tibbs just the layers get even crazier with just how bad this all looks
They trade tibbs and someone else to the dodgers and exchange for that guy from those *******
Lawnmowing commercials like they sent tibbs in a plus one away for him or his brother
Whoever it is
His name is dustin may and in all seriousness may seems to have all the potential in the world
Like he seems to check off all the boxes of just what you see. He's really tall
That's good for a pitcher has this weird funky delivery. That's good for a pitcher seems to have very good stuff
Like check check check look at manny machado, this is manny machado six years ago
Facing him the look in his face like may look nasty at first except he had one flaw in his statistics
the uh
I must have been a terrorist in a former life because i'm ******* cursed flaw
Rough one to have yeah, nothing seems to go well for this guy
He got tommy john surgery elbow surgery a couple years after joining the dodgers
Comes back then has to sit out again because of lower back issues because he was just getting his back blown out or some ----
So he doesn't pitch much when he comes back after the elbow surgery then three months into the next season
He has to get elbow surgery again, and then 2024. He almost dies while eating
Food literally he tore his esophagus while eating a steak and had to go to the hospital
Like he genuinely thought he was gonna die
So the red socks saw all of that the multiple elbow
Surgeries and getting his back blown out that he must have been deep throating so much
He tears his damn esophagus like what disaster isn't this guy a part of yet?
The red socks were over here like a girl with the worst daddy issues. You could can't even fathom
You're an absolute mess and you're gonna ruin my life. Please do so they trade tibbs for him
Yeah update on that tibbs is going off
James tibbs has well now he's in the dodgers minor league system
He's turned into the second coming of showy. Ohtani a whitewash showy. Ohtani. He's been so good now mind you again
Yes, it's triple a it's the minors wander franco sit your ******* ass down right now, but he's been so good to the point
Ron
DeSantis is chiming in this is the governor of florida
Tibbs has been so good at the point the governor of a state across the country is caring about it
This is who the red socks traded. Oh and uh, dustin may he's not even on the ******* red box anymore either
He's not even at the ******* team. He basically ended up just like jordan hicks awful when he was in boston
Very forgettable and now he's somewhere else
He's in saint louis now and at the time of this video may's era to start the year is almost old enough to vote
It's 16 at least with the mookie bets trade. It didn't really hurt or age that poorly that fast
Like yeah, he won the championship immediately with the dodgers, but that dodger team was winning
They were gonna win that year regardless the red socks wouldn't have done ---- with mookie still on the team in 2020
Like it wouldn't have really changed anything and the red socks were good the next year the two finished exactly in the dodgers and red socks
Finished exactly in the same spot like literally the red socks and dodgers in 2021. They both finished
Exactly second in their division. They both won wild card games at home
Proceeded to beat the team that beat them out for the division in the first round
And then lose the next round in specifically six games. I mean even down to where they lost i've never realized how
Similar of seasons they both had that year
I mean the dodgers won way more games during the regular season like they were way more dominant
But in terms of just overall where they ended up it was word for word bar for bar even down to which round they lost
In how many games they lost in six?
Even down to like that the fact that they both lost game six
On the road like very weird how specifically exact that all went
But anyway overall the mookie bets trade has aged poorly for boston for obvious reasons
One of them being the fact that none of the players they got for him
Have been remotely worth it
Although the biggest sin at the end of the day is just simply not paying him because
Mookie only had one year left on his contract when he was traded so you can't expect some crazy return
It's more about the fact that they just didn't want to pay the best all-round player to ever play for the franchise
Like I feel like when you have a guy that good, you know, you give him money and you know
**** me, but at least took a while
A little while for it to really show hasn't even been a year yet and it's
Embarrassing on just how bad this has aged like it's gone so far in such a short span of time
Not even just the devers trade in itself looks bad
But then the other trades that have stemmed from the original trade those have even aged poorly already
It's like a tree the red socks planet that's blossomed beautifully for several other teams
Like somehow the dodgers even found a way to benefit from a trade that didn't even involve them
Oh god, you never know what can happen
But as of right now you can't you really can't make up just how terribly that trade has aged like there's already
multiple layers
On how bad badly it's aged
The red socks better start winning or I don't even know what i'm gonna do. Love you. Bye
