I'll take any catcher to avoid watching the shit they scribble on the line up card currently.

The catcher hasn't hit for average or power in AA, has he? Keith Law said he's "not yet" good defensively prior to the season.

The pitcher has a 7.20 ERA in 30 innings at AA and rookie ball.

The greatest potential for both of these guys seems to be as future targets for the ire of Sox fans once it becomes clear that the new rebuild has failed just as badly as the previous one.

Ky Bush looks like the kind of douchebag that bumps into you at a bar, spills your beer, then picks a fight with you.

Quero is an offensive catcher whose value is supposed to increase if they go automated balls/strikes. The experts really like his hitting tools but I haven't really watched him. Bush was supposed to move thru the system quickly but he's been inconsistent and has had some injury issues. They both have potential but calling them #2 and #3 prospects is a bit ridiculous with Neto, O'Hoppe, Moniak, Bachman, Joyce, and Silseth up. It seems a lot of the national guys and our own Athletic guy are trying to say we got fleeced but they're stuck in the past pre-Minasian. He's actually been pretty good in trades and the draft. He's been plugging holes all season with the ridiculous number of injuries. I think he filled 2 holes and with Trout, Drury, and O'hoppe coming back soon feels like we can make a run.

He's 20 years old in AA and hitting OK. Really high OBP with more walks than K, which is an oddity for the Sox. Switch hits. They say he moves around well behind the plate, blocking the ball well. I've seen game calling as a deficiency, but that comes with age/experience if you have intelligence. Good enough arm for MLB. He'd still be ahead of the curve for a catcher if it took him 3 more years.

So we traded for an iffy pitching prospect who's getting pummeled in the minors and a catcher who just might, if you squint hard enough, resemble a major league player three years from now? I guess the sleeping giants will continue to slumber for the foreseeable future.

I'd love to see that the reason they didn't send Gio to the Dodgers is because they have a monster trade involving Cease with them

you are going to be disappointed.

I hope he's disappointed. I'd like to see them field some semblance of a major league team this year.

unless they luck into like 3 scrap heap pitchers having career years next year I do not see any way they field a competitive team

I don’t think this trade will stop them from winning their next 21 series to get back in the race.

He sent Giolito to the Angels so that he could talk up the Sox to Ohtani for free agency
