"Major League Baseball's annual GM Meetings kick off today and run through Thursday in Las Vegas. Note that this is not the same thing as the winter meetings, which don't happen until December. There tends to be a lot less player movement at the November GM meetings (because we're still so early in the offseason, not because Craig Breslow is going to be spending the night at the blackjack tables), but this edition is being held a week later than usual, so that could change."
"But the GM meetings give front offices and agents a chance to get an early read on some of the more complex offseason questions. These include questions like: what would it really take to land Tark Skubal? Any Red Sox trade package would "start with Payton Tolle and could include Jarren Duran," writes one veteran beat reporter. (Peter Abraham, Boston Globe)"
"I'm not sure I see the Sox willing the pay the prospect freight that will take to get Skubal, given that he only has one year remaining on his deal and is highly likely to go to free agency (nor do I think Payton Tolle would be enough to headline the package). But the Sox definitely do need a number two, especially since Garrett Crochet could be a little more tired next season thanks to this:"
Major League Baseball's GM Meetings run through Thursday in Las Vegas and are separate from the winter meetings. November meetings usually produce less player movement because the offseason is early, though a one-week delay could change that. Teams and agents use the meetings to assess trade questions, including interest in Tark Skubal. Any Red Sox offer would reportedly start with Payton Tolle and might include Jarren Duran, but prospects required may be prohibitive given Skubal's single remaining year of control. Garrett Crochet's workload could leave him more tired next season. The 2025 Rookie of the Year winners will be announced tonight; Roman Anthony is a top vote-getter and Nick Kurtz had a historic season.
