One trade I think I’d like to see is Jhostnyxon Garcis to San Diego for RHRP Jeremiah Estrada.
Garcia is a BA Top 100 prospect currently 6th on the Sox OF depth chart, sitting behind Duran, Abreu, Anthony, Rafaela and possibly Kristian Campbell. Using him as a RHH platoon option is a waste. Either play him or trade him. And it would take a lot of injuries to need to play him.
San Diego needs an OF. They have virtually no prospect depth and started the rather vanilla Bryce Johnson in LF during the postseason. And their bullpen is absolutely stacked with Robert Suarez (whose option will be exercised), Mason Miller, and Adrian Morejon at the backend with Estrada.
A bullpen with Chapman, Whitlock, Slaten, and Estrada at the back end can do wonders for the SP, leaving them fewer IP.
BTV does value both players nearly identically.
Make the call, Craig…
