Morosi: "Pay Close Attention to the Boston Red Sox" in Garrett Crochet Trade Market

We have a lot of really good "not-yet-ready for MLB" prospects, but I'd hesitate to trade too many of them for just 2 years of a pitcher with a very limited sample size of success.

Perales, Sandlin, Dobbins, Wikelman, Rodriguez, Early & Monegro

Cespedes, Bleis, Arias, Meidroth, Romero & the Garica brothers

Would you give up more than 2 or 3 of these 4 Perales, Cespedes, Bleis & Arias. Maybe 2 plus one from Sandlin or Meidroth would be my limit.

Would they take Mayer straight up?  He's Rule 5 eligible in 2025. (Teel is in 2027.)

I like Cespedes and Perales both quite a bit. Id do Bleis, Arias, Meidroth all day.  But I think Wilyer goes in the deal.

I'd trade Wilyer and Arias or Meidroth or maybe Wilyer + Cespedes, but I'm not sure I'd do Wilyer + Perales.

I brought up the other names to speak to the point about maybe the CWS wanting all prospects and not ML players.

The white Sox are going to want a king’s ransom for crochet. That means one of the big four plus all the usual suspects mentioned above! 

They can want whatever they want. What they'll ultimately get might be a little south for a guy with only two years of control who has only ever had one half season of stardom.
