    BTV suggests Tolle for Shaw or Witherspoon for Hoerner are fair trades. No idea what the Cubs think. Those both do seem pretty fair to me…

    The Cubs aren’t hurting for outfielders. They already unloaded one (Owen Caissie) for pitching earlier this off-season. The big problem with trying to deal with the Cubs here is a Matt Shaw-for-Dalton Rushing trade does make sense for both sides and leaves Boston out in the cold…

    Their weakest position is probably catcher. Not our easiest deal. Pitchers and prospects, I guess…

    I think he only means to trade one of them. The slash means options. The big issue with that deal is the Cubs have a really good starting OF. They’re probably the only team where Rafaela is a potential step down in CF defense. (Arguments can be made for Minnesota as well.) The Cubs only position question mark is DH, which looks like it might be handled by roly poly Miguel Ballesteros. Suzuki did DH last year but he reportedly did not like it and he is a pretty good outfielder. (Matt Shaw might see at bats here?) And no, they’re not trading Hoerner for Yoshida…

    Yanier Diaz is a catcher…

    Hell no…
  7. notin
    I don’t think the Astros have the prospects to make that deal worthwhile…

    Springer only DHd because of an injury that kept him out of the OF. Toronto gave lots of money to Santander and his sub-.600 OPS to be the DH. Ohtani, Alvarez, Rooker. And I ‘ll include Stanton. Off the top of my head, elite bats at DH might not be so common. Maybe Yandy Diaz?

    How many DHs are elite hitters?
  10. notin
    Hes not a DH, although he should be…

    1. Bello. Hes a decent pitcher but quite possibly not among the Sox five best. And unlike someone like Sandoval, every team in MLB will at least listen on Bello. They might not give up what you want for him, but they won’t hang up upon hearing his name …

    Just Dalton Rushing, and only because the Sox were previously linked to him and the Dodgers had not yet signed Tucker…

    I think Duran’s stay in Boston is at least one year longer…
  14. notin
    If the Sox were trying to trade Duran for pennies on the dollar, he’d be in San Diego or Kansas City by now…

    How is Suarez outside of Arizona?
  16. notin
    How much better is Suarez than Yoshida? In the past 3 years, Suarez’ OPS is .775. In that same timeframe, Yoshida’s is .762…

    Rengifo seems unexciting, but he’s a pretty good bounce back candidate. He’s not much for power, maxing out in the 15-18 HR range, but he’s is a very good 2b defensively…

    Paredes might be the better Fenway guy, but Hoerner is the much better overall player. Shaw might be better than Donovan going forward as well. Certainly thr better glove. He hit really well in the second half last year, and bats right-handed…

    Maybe Chicago wanted Meidroth? Thats probably not the trade we want to undo. It’s actually ok that some guys are working out for Chicago. Thats how trades are supposed to work…
  20. notin
    That we dumped the guy we only took because he was San Fran’s salary dump?
  21. notin
    Why did we want him? He’s barely a step up over Yoshida, if even that…
  22. notin
    That sounds like embezzlement. I don’t think it’s legal…
  23. notin
    Eugenio Suarez just signed with the Reds. But you’re in luck, Fred. His OPS over the last 3 years was only .775…

    How do I know you’re not Mark Polishuk?
  25. notin
    They arguably don’t need one. Sure improving the offense has benefits. But it’s not the only way to win games. The Sox were 7th in MLB in runs scored last year. Seventh. When they’re seventh from the bottom in percentage of revenue used on salary, you think that is significant. At least I hope you do, because you post it out here hourly. So why is it when they’re seventh best in something, that’s insignificant? In a recent chat, Mark Polishuk of MLBTR said “the Sox were a top ten offense last year. They're not hurting for bats.”
