    1. I doubt they deal Clevinger, but if there is one team that could move a pitcher like him and immediately backfill his spot in the rotation, it is Cleveland. 2. It is easier to get outfielders than aces. Springer, for example, is a free agent this off-season. 3. Why wait? Sox have rebuilt quickly before. Look at how they did after last place finishes in 2012 and 2015. 4. Isn’t that exactly what a Clevinger trade is?

    That only creates one vacancy, and on a team that doesn’t spend.

    Not his fault. 29 other teams would have cut him.,,

    Not to be a Debbie Downer, but there is a chance that this team might suck...

    I'm not going to pick up on that. I end almost all my posts with an ellipsis. See...

    Oh please, Yankee fans have thought they have seen the last of Gardner since 2015. They'll keep bringing him back. The man is going to die wearing pinstripes.

    That's because the flyballs hit off Sox pitchers don't stay in the ballpark often enough...

    If you told that to Ripley, he'd say "I don't believe it."

    I think they can get over 100 in 10 games tonight...

    Same can be said for Trey Ball...

    I'm shocked, too...

    On other threads, we have fans insisting it's time to give the kids a shot because this season is over. But here we have a situation where a kid is getting some time and people want him sent down to the minors (who are not even having a season this year)..

    Moreland has a career .673 OPS vs LHP. I've certainly seen worse from a LHH. Chavis career OPS vs LHP is .771. Marginally better, but it's .882 this year against LHP. His OPS since that first series is .852 on the season against all pitchers. Moreland is off to a great start, but Chavis is not holding this team back. The Sox pitching gave up 13 runs; you're not going to win many games if any when that happens...

    And rebuilt them quickly Last place in 2012. WS Champs in 2013. Last place in 2014 and 2015. Then AL East titles in 2016 and 2017 followed by a WS title in 2018. 2019 was the first year since 2011 the Sox did not finish in either first or last in the AL East...

    Well, Glasnow was looking like a reclamation prospect, and Archer was clearly declining, but he was also paid like a lesser starter anyway. I'm hoping if the Sox can get players above A ball for Bogaerts. I can see the Cubs and Reds both having interest, but their systems above A ball are not ideal for the Sox. I would love a Meadows/Glasnow/Baz style package that has two players who can step in today. Not sure who the trading partner is there, however. (But then it's not my job to know that.)

    Not sure the draft order matters as much as the 2020 draft will be the bigest crapshoot in drafting history. MLB drafts are inherently that way to begin with, but now with the additional factor of no college and high school seasons, making the most recent scouting reports 12 months old minimum...

    Mo Cheeks is a great name for a proctologist...

    Apparently his nickname is Snellzilla. Frankly, I don't like it. "Blake the Snake" is much better...

    While I reuse to write the Yankees out of the Lindor sweepstakes, I could see them simply keeping Torres at shortstop and focusing on other priorities...
  20. notin
    My bad. I was thinking of Hunter Harvey. Cincy is still an obvious destination. My only gripe is their 3 best prospects (Lodolo, India, and Greene) that they might deal (and I don't think Bogaerts gets you all three) are all A ball players.
  21. notin
    Lindor would be great, but expect the competition to be fierce. The Dodgers will have an opening at SS, and the Yankees might as well. The Astros might move Correa before next year and go with Toro/Bregman on the left side, so whoever takes Correa will have an opening at SS. Luckily there will be plenty of other options. Don't overlook the vastly underrated Andrelton Simmons, who hits the market this offseason as well. To me the big question is, wht teams will be interested in Bogaerts? The Reds would be an obvious choice, as their window closes significantly after 2020 and they have Freddy Glavis at SS. But they're also 9-11 and 5 games out, so they might not be so "all in." The Cubs are another option, as their window slams shut after 2021 so they need to be all in. But their only decent SP prospect is in A ball. (The Reds have MLB-ready Hunter Greene, who is the one "must get" in any deal with them.)

    If you overspend, you can’t keep your young core. And with Benintendi out for who knows how long (and struggling mightily anyway), Bogaerts is probably the Sox best trade chip. The only real problem is that it’s one year too early, as next season Lindor, Seager, Story, and Correa all reach free agency and a whole slew of teams might be interested in Bogaerts. (But on the bright side for Boston, one of them will be available to replace him.)
  23. notin
    Well of course you see no chance to compete in 2021 now. But maybe once some moves are made and people are healthy and we know what the team looks like. I imagine people were making similar statements in 2012...
  24. notin
    If the Sox reset, will they care about being under?
  25. notin
    He should have, but the Dodgers were reluctant to deal any of their pitching prospects. In the original deal, a third team had to be brought in to get a pitching prospect. On the bright side, you mind be the only person in the world who thinks Jeter Downs is worthless, and since you’re not a GM, maybe he can be dealt...
