Why isn’t Witt a realistic option?

[JBontheMonstah]

I keep seeing these Neto, Pena, Abrams, and Lindor names tossed around but realistically why not Witt? The Royals need a restart and who better than the Sox to do it? Breslow keeps finding pitchers and he will replace prospects lost. 

I don’t see how this deal below doesn’t get it done.

Boston gets

Witt-Beck Way (6’4 26 y/o power righty RP)

*checks 2 boxes in one trade 

 

Royals get

Arias-Witherspoon-Eyanson(These 3 are automatic for Witt)

now throw in 5 of the below:

-Ziehl/Phillips

-Meyer/Sogard/Romero/Godbout/Dorian Soto/Cespedes (2 of this group)

-Justin Gonzales/Azocar

-Nelly/Rivas/Castro

and I could honestly see the Royals wanting Bello on top, cheap controllable starter will have him 5+ years in their budget. Allows them to trade a Bubic and Ragans/Cameron in offseason to help the rebuild and capitalize on Wacha trades now as well. They could completely alter the org with a Red Sox trade. Enough of these prospects are close enough to ready to still capitalize on Caglianone’s prime while building for future as well. 

They potentially get 7 Red Sox top 30. Potentially 3 top 100 if it is Gonzales but I think if Cespedes keeps it up he’s on the top 100 next year. 
 

The Red Sox still have plenty of talent that should be on that top 30 and whatever is left over from the above trade they could still go out and get a Luis Arraez to help the RHP hitting problem. 
 

Could trade Sandoval and Moran/Weissert for some shot in the dart prospects they like to replace some lost talent too.

 

i say get it done. Thoughts?

Welcome to Talk Sox!

The problem I see with this is that the Royals aren't interested in trading Witt. They're trying to get a new stadium built.

Yes, welcome.

8 players is a nice offer.
