Trade for the next Pomeranz while he's still cheap. Re-sign Sale or trade for the next Sale? FA Sale's don't come around very often (except for Max Scherzer sp?). I like Beeks as a 4-5, not a 2. Groome is a question mark that may never pan out. Houck is too far away right now. Closers are easy to get.
-
That's a much better analogy than a post I was going to make. Kudos.
-
The farm can't really be that strong if it doesn't have any pitching. You can't have a 25 man roster with 20 positional players.
-
Here's a move that will get things popping on TS!!!! @Buster_ESPN Some rival evaluators believe the Red Sox and Astros may be best positioned in the discussions for free agent reliever Mike Minor. Both teams have a need for a lefty.
-
I'd take Hernandez or Lin over Holt. I think you could replicate Holt off the waiver wire.
-
As part of the right package. Raudes is more valuable as a talking point on SP podcasts.
-
You know, if something worked before: NEVER DO IT AGAIN!
-
Yup, until the Sox can develop pitching, they have to trade their positional prospects for MLB ready pitching. Otherwise, it's going to look more and more like 2012, 2014 and 2015.

I'm really looking forward to talking about a cliff for everyday until this site closes. It makes me very appreciated of April 2016 when we had nothing every to talk about before then. Someday, we'll talk in TalkSox terms that 2015 was 1 year BC (Before Cliff). We are now 1 year AD (After Deluge of cliff posts).
-
But it is a certainty that we'll have to hear about it everyday for the next however many years.
-
Sandoval and Hanley's contracts will come off the books. JBJ is not a $20M player as projected. Xander is not a $20M player as projected. They can sign anyone they want to. Kimbrel and Sale and Pomeranz can all be replaced by future signings or trades. Sale and Pomeranz may not be long term options anyway (health).
-
The prospects were used to fix the underlying problem with the system that Theo and Ben had. THEY COULDN'T DEVELOP PITCHING.
-
Did the cliff just move back from 2020 to 2021???? Does that mean it could move back to 2022 and then 2023 and then.....???
-
Espinoza isn't part of the window. He had major surgery and now is the Padres 7th ranked prospect. He won't be ready in 2 years.
-
Porcello isn't a FA until after 2019?
-
I like Lin too. If he can be a passable contact hitter, he should be in BOS not Holt.
-
Don't ever bet on a player continuing to get better.
-
Raudes doesn't have much trade value.
-
That's a hard pass for me. Trade one middle of the order bat under contract for two seasons for another? What's the point?
-
After living in SF, I could never say this.
-
I don't want to trade any MLB players.
-
Nope, need to trade for another. Our best offense was with Manny AND Papi. Need to recreate that.
-
@PeteAbe No surprise, but Dave Dombrowski says the #RedSox will indeed get in the Ohtani race … Also, all-arb eligibles will be tendered on Friday as of now.
-
I've heard that the Giants have interest in JBJ, but haven't heard anything about the ChiSox.
-
I'm trying my best! A lot of it will wind up being hogwash, but at least it gives us something to talk about when nothing is going on.
