Trade Deadline

[Sox 42]

Sox 42 to Sox Management

Not a popular position but I would offer Bregman a new contract (3-4 years at 40M starting 2026)  If accepted, problem solved (put up or shut up time). He says he loves the team - show it!  If not trade him to the team with the best offer.  If he is only interested in money during free agency the Sox would get out-bid by the Mets, Yankees, and Tigers (maybe others).

We have to trade a left hand hitting outfielder.  I pick Abreu.  Nobody will take Yoshida with his contract.

Don't give up on Campbell.  He may be our answer at first base.  Password and Rolle should be protected.

Don't continue to chase any used to be good pitchers with arm problems.  Repeating failures is a sign of mental disorder.

It looks like bres-slow is following alcanterra from Miami!!!  

[Sox 42]

What is Bres willing to give up?  The big A has not had a great year.  Paying on past performance has been a fault of the Sox

[Larry Cook]

My guess is he will have to beat whatever the best offer from the competitor is offering. 
 

I am thinking 3 top 15 prospects and a regular

Others are making trades that improve their teams now. Nothing from Bres yet but we need action. Tough market where you have to give up a kings ransom to get a knave Jack. Less than 24 hours to act. Get going man.

Don't be surprised if the starter Breslow ends up acquiring is Charlie Morton.

Mets get Helsley & Tyler Rogers.

Phillies get Jhoan Duran for Abel & a catching prospect.

I certainly hope not.  We have some bad contracts.  Strengthen the team for the long run.  Morton can't get anyone out.

SEA just made a major addition:

Eugenio Suarez: 36 HRs and league leading 87 RBI

.898 OPS

Zack Littell to CIN.

 

If we stand pat, we lose ground.

Cubs get Andrew Kittredge.

Since being put back into the rotation on 5/26: 

60 IP, 3.88 ERA, 4.12 FIP, 9.1k/9, 1.42 WHIP

It's better than Buehler and Fitts.

Maybe we end up with M Kelly & O'Hearn.

O'Hearn has average 20 Hrs (49 XBHs) per 162 gsm since 2023.

.796 OPS (125 OPS+)

Would that be enough?

Hadn’t o’Hearn stopped hitting in July???
