trade deadline

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Kyle Hendricks

Jon Gray

Carlos Santana (if the plan is to play Schwarber in LF)

 

For what it's worth, Gray's career splits as a Rocky are slightly better in ERA and BA in Colorado than on the road.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Throw in Cordero too.

 

But then the SOX would have to add more money.

[moonslav59]

If they stay put we better pray that the starting pitching gets better. ERod, Richards, and even pivetta recently have been straight awful.

 

ERod had a 3.03 ERA in his 6 starters before the last one. There is hope, there, but the other 3 are really struggling.

[oldtimer]

I wonder what it would take to get Byan Buxton. He has a fractured bone in his hand but would be a great addition to the outfield for 2022. That's consistent with Bloom's strategy.

kimbrell to the whitesox?

To further the confusion, Erod recorded 10 outs last night. 8 of them were K's, in the course of giving up 7 hits, 6 runs and 4 walks. That is a guy who is lost on the rubber. I never thought Erod had the mental discipline and fortitude to be a strong competitor. High potential and a weak will to succeed.

Yup. A top three of Eovaldi, Sale and Houck features two huge question marks the next two months. The Jays trio of Ryu, Ray and Berrios have all been good all year. And the Rays only have dozens of guys who throw 98.

Given the number of question marks on the current roster, it is not inconceivable that Bloom , true to his words, is building for 2022. Planning on a couple key FA's and further development from the Durans, and maybe Dalbec (lots of work needed). The likelihood of this 2021 Red Sox team, as good as results have been so far, going deep into the playoffs is very low.

@BNightengale

The #Cubs will receive second baseman Nick Madrigal and pitcher Codi Heuer from the #WhiteSox for Craig Kimbrel.

 

Woweee...

[d-money]

Are the Yankees getting back Severino?

[mvp 78]

Sox should trade for Story to play 2b.

It gets higher if Bloom adds a good starting pitcher in the next hour to a rotation headed by Eovaldi... and if just one of Sale/Houck/ERod/Pivetta emerges as a consistent strike-thrower through October.The Front Office has to be thinking the same thing. Add a solid starter and another reliable bullpen arm, and go to war.

Tigers Reportedly Discussing Michael Fulmer In Trades

 

I'm in.

[d-money]

The guy has an era over 5 and like someone mentioned mentally he’s a softy.

They can beat anyone not name the houston astros. It’s go time!!!! Rays series starting tonight. Can’t mess around.

Oh, someone mentioned...

Woweee...

 

Quote from MLB.com: "He’ll pair with Liam Hendriks to give the South Siders a lethal one-two punch at the back end of the bullpen."

 

My Red Sox heart just relaxed. But I still hope Kimbrel isn't lethal to White Sox fans come October.

Woweee...

The good news for Kimbrel. Going to a contender and won't have to move. Just across town.

CJ Cron 162-game averages over 8 seasons: 28 HR, 87 RBI, .780 OPS.

[moonslav59]

How much would Gibson cost?

[Hugh2]

Jimenez and Downs are two guys I would definitely trade. Unfortunately, Downs value has probably taken a hit.

 

Has Jeters value gone Down this year (pun intended) absolutely!!! but I bet people would be surprised at how little it actually went down. Front offices understand the progression and player development isn't linear. They don't expect every guy to plow his way in to the majors like Mookie Betts. Downs could still carry a lot of weight in a trade for the Sox, or be a useful player in a year or two here.

Agreed.

 

If Bogey opts out, who plays SS in 2023?

[Hugh2]

Agreed.

Xander Bogaerts.

[moonslav59]

CJ Cron 162-game averages over 8 seasons: 28 HR, 87 RBI, .780 OPS.

 

I've suggested a few Jon Gray & Cron deals.

 

Also, Boyd & Schoop.

 

Thinking about Gibson and Hendricks, now.

[mvp 78]

Agreed.

 

If Bogey opts out, who plays SS in 2023?

 

FA rental. Mayer in 2024.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

How much would Gibson cost?

 

Maybe an Aldo and a Noe, but not a Manny. Who gets the last slice of pizza?

[mvp 78]

Mets are getting Baez.

 

This deadline is crazy.

[mvp 78]

RIP to all the Cubs and Nats fans out there. Yuck.

[moonslav59]

One hour to go.

Their farms got a lot stronger.
