He’s mediocre and not desirable, but the Sox could acquire him as a swingman. BLtimore reportedly would give him away and he’s probably an upgrade over Johnson.
See Cashner comments. Bear in mind the Sox don’t have a lot of great trade chips.
Probably worth avoiding, even if healthy in 5 weeks.
Maybe I’m underestimating the Sox trade fodder, but I think pitchers like this might be in play. And still might be upgrades over Weber/Velasquez/Johnson, etc.
These guys might be the biggest rental starters to move. Both are going somewhere, unless Cincy switches gears and decides to make a run.
Ok I admit I missed that. But Eood is always hurt and would be a questionable target even if he was healthy. He has two states : hurt, and “about to get hurt”
He is possible, but I hope the Sox don’t get another lefty.
And is not someone the cost-cutting Mariners are prioritizing to trade. He’s cheap. And so is his option.
