Red Sox trades

Here is a quick recap of the trades the Red Sox made recently and what I think of them:

PTBNL^* to the Tigers - Jahmai Jones to the Red Sox.
I like this trade. Jones is a good utility guy who has come up clutch for the Red Sox in some recent games.

Connelly Early to the the Nationals - Curtis Mead to the Red Sox.
I don't think this was a good trade. I like Early and I think he's going to be an "ace" in the near future. Also, Mead got hit by a pitch in his second at-bat for the Red Sox and broke his wrist. It looks like he won't be playing for the Red Sox for probably the rest of the season.

Tyler Uberstine to the Braves - Eli White to the Red Sox.
I don't know what to think about this trade. I am uncertain what the Red Sox are going to do with another outfielder but Uberstine is a minor league pitcher and he's kinda stuck in the minors behind a strong Red Sox pitching staff. Ballplayers that are stuck in the minors aren't going to help the team make the playoffs...

Marcelo Mayer to the Giants - Erik Miller and Carlos Gutierrez to the Red Sox.
I don't know what to think about this trade. I've always thought that Mayer was overrated but I also have no idea who either Miller or Gutierrez are. Who knows, maybe they are the best thing to come along since sliced bread. I know Miller is a reliever so maybe he'll help out the bullpen.

Anthony Eyanson, Kyson Witherspoon, Enddy Azocar, Carlos Narváez and PTBNL^* to the Orioles - Adley Rutschman and Jake Rogers to the Red Sox.
I like this trade. Rutschman is currently on the IL but he's a proven hitter and a strong catcher. I do think the Red Sox may have overpaid for him but again, minor league players can't help a team right now and Narváez is struggling to hit the ball.

Time will tell if Breslow screwed up or was successful. Personally, I'm rooting for him to be successful...

Oh, and the Judges lost last night so the Red Sox are now only 2 games behind them in the ALEast.

Since the Red Sox are back in Boston, tonights game against the White Sox is being played at a normal time. First pitch is at 7:10 and Sandoval has the start.

For most of his adult life, Brain Worm Bobby has told everyone that would listen to him that the MMR vaccine causes autism. He said this without any scientific or medical evidence.

Now that there is a major measles outbreak in the United States, he says people should get vaccinated.

Let's face it people, the guy that Dementia Donny put in charge of health and human services is a mentally deficient individual who should be locked in a psychiatric hospital so he can begin receiving treatment.

I'm also not sure how safe our food is anymore, what with all the cyclospora, salmonella, E.coli and botulism rolling around out there. And yes, Brain Worm Bobby is in charge of the FDA as well as the CDC.

We are kinda screwed...
