Per BTV, Paxton has the highest trade value, on par with Eddinson Paulino or Brandon Walter (top 15 player).
Duvall is next with a trade value of Luis Guerrero (relief only arm ranked 25th).
Justin Turner would bring back Tyler Esplin or other prospect well outside the top 40.
Martin and Jansen have negative trade value per their calculations.
I mean, you could just look at the MLB team payroll rankings. They aren't in the top 1/3rd of the league and are at least 13M under the CBT including benefits. That additional $$$ could have definitely been used meaningfully this year!
@SoxNotes
Highest on-base percentage in MLB (min. 100 PA):
1. Luis Arraez .440
2. Corey Seager .420
3. ROB REFSNYDER .418
In his last 20 games (beginning May 13), Refsnyder has a .519 OBP.
Refsnyder has reached base in 17 of his last 25 PA against lefties (10-for-18, 5 BB, 2 HBP).
At least Cora is using Refsnyder correctly this year.
The last Sox team to be 37-35 was the hated 2000 Red Sox with Manny Alexander, Mike Lansing, Wilton Veras, Izzy Alcantara, Rico Brogna, Jeff Fassero and Ramon Martinez.
It was Carl Everett's All Star season. The year of CHB and dinosaurs.
@SoxNotes
Justin Turner leads the Red Sox in games played (69). NICE
First 36 games – 2 HR, .717 OPS
Next 33 games – 8 HR, .887 OPS
In his last 9 games, Turner has hit .405 with 11 RBI and a 1.180 OPS.

Looks like a lot of FO guys are going to be on the soup line really soon.
I still don't believe in Murphy long term. I don't see anything out of Walter right now as his stuff has ticked down a notch since his injury. Mata has no control from inning to inning. I wouldn't promote Drohan this year no matter what.
Anthony wasn't getting much lift earlier in the year and was driving the ball into the ground. Once he learns to lift the ball, he'll be hitting it all over the field.
