It will be a 3 game series in New York or Atlanta if in wildcard round. Pads will not win either.

The Red Sox acquired Hosmer (neck) from the Padres on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Spin:Hosmer was initially included in the agreed-upon deal earlier Tuesday that sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell from the Nationals to the Padres, but Hosmer exercised his no-trade clause to block a move to Washington. San Diego opted to explore alternative trade options for Hosmer and found a willing partner in Boston. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com, the Padres will cover most of the $44 million remaining on the final three-plus seasons on Hosmer's contract, so Boston won't be receiving any significant prospect capital as a sweetener in the deal. Though Hosmer's .727 OPS over 369 plate appearances this season has rendered him a low-end starting first baseman from a production standpoint, he brings quality defense to the position and should be at least a slight offensive upgrade for the Red Sox over the platoon of Franchy Cordero and Bobby Dalbec. Hosmer is currently tending to a strained neck, but the injury isn't believed to be a major concern. |
He is horrendous.
Gallo.... Dead weight no matter where he plays.
