Gotta be the end of Bobby dalbec in Boston I'd hope. Good pickup to hopefully just add even a league average type guy vs the awfulness they've gotten from Dalbec.

Somewhere Dalbec is grinning – knowing that the Sox injury plague cannot be stopped, and that he will soon return to his rightful place at both corners of the infield...

Thank God! Seemed like the obvious move. I assume he didn’t travel with the Cubs to Boston after his DFA? Wonder how soon they can get him in the lineup

Wonder how soon they can get him in the lineup If i were the cubs i would have tried to time it just right to make him unavailable for tomorrow, and then an off day Monday. So i would assume he’s in the lineup tuesday but who knows.

"I want this Cooper dude" "What do you offer in return" "Nothing" "Deal!" "Good talk" Sources reporting its a three way trade, with the White Sox throwing in one of those crazy marshmallow drinks.

This is awesome. I hear he bats over .200, could hit cleanup for us! I jest, but still, he's a big upgrade offensively. Bobby's D has been refreshing, so I hope Cooper can carry that water on some level as well.
I expect they'll DFA Dalbec, but I could see a Hamilton or Dalbec option with a 60-day DL for Mata or Walter instead. Advantage would be keeping depth?? I still can't get over that Bobby can be patient on pitches outside the zone AND hit in AAA, but can't even make solid contact in the show. There's a legit hitter in there somewhere (not great, but capable of hitting .220 or so at least).

I prefer him to Hamilton and prefer him to Valdez when Grissom comes back. But, that said, if there is a chance that going back out Route 9 will help him regain his stroke, then that is the preferred play.

They just placed Casas on the 60 Day IL as the countermove for Cooper, per Speier. So at earliest we would see Casas late June - so glad they didn’t just roll with internal options for the next two months

Good move. Guess Cron didnt overly impress them.
The good thing is Cooper should get up to game speed quicker than Belt or Cron would.
And with Belt, he'd he almost kind of useless once Casas returns. Cooper kind of fits better as a righty off the bench who can also play in the OF if need be.
Turning 1b into average from being well below replacement level is a big step up for the 2 or 3 months Casas is out.
Maybe Cooper be the best Red Sox 1b named Cooper since Cecil Cooper.

Im not sure if it’s as much Cooper over Cron as it is Cooper now over Cron in one month

The lineup will have a better balance with Cooper and Refsnyder in it.

There's a legit hitter in there somewhere (not great, but capable of hitting .220 or so at least). Dalbec hit 33 HRs - .269 BA - .938 OPS last year in Worcester. He is a legitimate All-star in AAA, maybe even a AAA MVP, but it has not translated into the MLB. It is both interest and strange that the contrast is so huge.
