He may not be the first domino to fall.
I keep thinking Martinez will be the first domino to fall, but maybe someone makes a live connection with hosmer first.
Regardless, the longer Miami draws out the Stanton trade, the more trade partners they lose.
It might depend on which teams get JD Martinez, Hosmer, Moose and Santana. Teams hoping to score one of them but missing out may join in on the Stanton sweepstakes.
This will be a complicated set of dealings, with age, length of contract, QO's and financial and prospect/player commitments. Hope DD plays it smartly.
Pavin SmIth played in low A ball last year. There is no such thing as a blocked player in low A ball.
By the time Smith is ready for MLB, Goldschmidt might have moved on or Smith moved to a new position.
If the Diamondbacks thought Goldschmidt was blocking Smith, they would not have drafted him with the #7 pick last year....
One would hope that after the Thanksgiving holiday that the Sox FO will take some action. Ohtani, relief pitching, 1st base, impact bat, possible 2nd base help, trades on any of the Sox players. Seems like there are enough opportunities that some action needs to be taken earlier rather than later.
I have to keep reminding myself that the fact that nothing has happened doesn't mean that nothing is happening. I do believe that DD is working daily to find the best fit for the Sox, it's just that nothing has been finalized yet.
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.

I might st have the wrong guy. The guy I was thinking of played at triple a, my bad!
Well, dd did sign Esteban Quiroz, a left handed second baseman from the Mexican league who stands at 5' 7" and is a depth move. He played in the World tournament for Mexico. I see that as his first move of this hot stove league season.
You probably mean Christian Walker.
The Mexican League is interesting. Some players excel over there then translate it directly into production a la Aceves from years ago. The guy will get all the chances in the world to play during ST and if he emerges as the best option, he could start until/if Pedey returns
?? I'm assuming that the word that was left out of this post was "hitting", as in 'a left handed hitting second baseman'. ??

The 5' 7" Quiroz would fit right in with the rest of our little guys.
Lin is 5' 7" as well so he is in good company. At least they won't be uncomfortable on cross country flights.
With the way this team is being currently built, a lot of money could be saved in uniform expense! I am finally realizing what the deal is - we do have a budget.
