Swihart requests a trade

[jacksonianmarch]

Colon has been really good and I guarantee someone deals for him. I don’t think it’ll be Boston, though. Colon gets eaten alive vs NY.

Swihart & Johnson for Bartolo Colon.

 

Nah. I don't think he holds up for the rest of the year.

[a700hitter]

Nah. I don't think he holds up for the rest of the year.

I though he was through 7 or 8 years ago.

I think his body holds up, I don't think his numbers do.

[S5Dewey]

Josh Bard just feinted.

 

Did the umpire call a balk on him?

I've heard that catcher balks are rare.

[Kimmi]

Here's a scary thought - what would Natick's posts look like if they did what he suggested and Swihart couldn't get above the Mendoza line either?

 

LOL Bell. You come up with some good ones.

[Kimmi]

Outside chance that Nunez hits the DL.

 

That's a possibility.

[Kimmi]

Swihart & Johnson for Bartolo Colon.

 

Speaking of former Sox pitchers, Buchholz had a decent start for the Dbacks on Sunday, 5 IP, one run given up.

After what he did with the Sox last time we signed him, no thanks. He's a nut case.

[notin]

Pass on Colon. The Sox need pitching depth, not pitching width...

[Natick to NC]

Colon is on Roids ....he will get popped choking down a half chicken and a handful of Andro

[Bellhorn04]

Well, the only time I'm a Colon fan is when he's pitching against the Yanks...so tonight.

If the Red Sox could only find a "future Fisk" ...

 

No need to hang up the phone because the Marlins could not respond to an offer that included Kyle Barraclough.

Well Harmony that's who I'd want for Swihart period ...

We're not getting squat for Swihart for the same reason he's not even playing for a coach known for using his bench to the max.

I would be surprised if we got anything of value for Swihart.

Single A player with a long shot hope of amounting to something.

 

I'd rather keep him, but if he'snever going to get a shot at playing, we should just rip the band aid off and get the best we can for him.

 

When Pedey comes back, if Nunez isn't going to the DL, and JBJ's not going to AAA, then say bye-bye to Swihart.

There just is no roster room for him. And if we keep him, what would be the long range plan? Next season, will be thesame issue unless he gets to play and prove that he can catch at the MLB level. I think his leaving is inevitable.

[Station 13]

I think they need send Bradley down to AAA. Moreland can play 1B and Holt play some OF with JD/Swihart. You don't loose Swihart for nothing.

[Natick to NC]

Like I said thank God some of you don't run this franchise ...Swihart has two teams as of last week trying to get him and The Redsox said pound sand .

Is the plan to keep him on the bench taking up a roster spot for the rest of the season with no role?

What did they offer?

Do you have links to any sources suggesting that two teams are trying to acquire the erstwhile catcher?

[SoxHop]

psssst...... big shiney red clown shoes.........

 

they dicked with Swi though..... he should be upset. Had more chance at millions at a catcher than left.

The plan is to give JBJ an AAA assignment to get him straight and let Holt/JD play LF, this gives Moreland time at 1B. Pedroia needs a roster spot, so JBJ and his .160 BA can take a demotion. You don't toss Swihart away here.

[harmony]

And the Marlins would ask for Andrew Benintendi in a trade of Kyle Barraclough.

 

Neither offer would go anywhere.

That isn't what I asked. I asked whether the plan is to keep Swihart on the bench taking up a roster spot for the rest of the season with no role? Edited May 22, 2018 by a700hitter

Absolutely no way the Marlins deal Barraclaugh for Swihart. They also won't deal Streckenrider.

 

Ziegler? Probably. Tazawa? Sure. Hes already halfway gone anyway.

 

Really outside of a chance to dump salary, not sure why the Marlins would want Swihart. They already have a catcher much closer to being a "Future Fisk" than Swihart...
