The concept of "winning" a trade is kind of silly. Certainly there are trades where one team gives way too much for, say, Shelby Miller. But most trades are built on a concept of equality, and offset by the chances that some players simply don't pan out. I have never been a huge Dombrowski fan, but I think he did a good job with this trade...
-
Even if the Sox were able to make a hypothetical equivalent to a hypothetical trade of Espinoza for Trout (or his equal), that still doesn't guarantee anything. This team had Ted Williams for 22 years and didn't win a title with him...
-
And auto correct is pure evil...
-
Whoa. Slow down. No need to package all those attractive trade chips at once.
-
I'd just assume pass on Ohtani and go after Cobb. Ohtani is about as unknown as it gets, and success in Japan has shown to not always translate into success in the USA (and vice versa). Cobb is a known AL East commodity who will be a big enough financial drain on resources...
-
I think you mean "moot." Unless you think Wright will lose his power of speech....
-
I know he was an All Star, but he much faith do you really have in Wright?
-
So the Sox get Stanton without giving up Benintendi and/or Devers? Not sure they have much else Miami wants....
-
Not with a .370 OBP he can't. ..
-
Such a popular name with Sox fans. ..
-
Everyone says pitching wins in the post-season. The Sox do have pitching. Cleveland does have better pitching, however...
-
They'll do great as long as they remember to pack their Apple watches...
-
It was a silly way to go. Hopefully the Sox can wrap up the East by Tuesday and cut back Sale's workload drastically...
-
If they don't take the East, what the Yankees need in that case is for the Sox to clinch a little early, enabling Severino to pitch the WC game. Worst case scenario for them is Severino making all 3 regular season starts and still not winning the AL East...
-
True, although at this point in the season with an expanded bullpen and some pitchers around 200IP, I do hope Farrell is quick to pull them. A lot of people griped when he left Sale in the other day...
-
The Sox can afford it if he only gives up those 4 runs and they score 5. He started out badly, but it wasn't an awful start...
-
I could see Brandon Belt, who, while certainly not spectacular, is a pretty underrated hitter...
-
1. JD Martinez. I liked him back when he was in Houston and was shocked they released him. 2. No. Votto is the Reds most marketable player (they do have to sell tickets) and Stanton isn't likely to go anywhere cheap, regardless of that frightening contract...
-
Always the trade route, which is something Dombrowski has shown he certainly likes to do. E-Rod to the Giants for Brandon Belt, who is in the top eight among 1B over the last 3 years in OBP, wOBA, wRC and fWAR. He's 14th in SLG, but SF's home park is not built for lefties. Then spend your cash on Alex Cobb...
-
No one. Unless you trade E-Rod (easily the most tradable name on that list) for a 1B. I doubt Dombrowski does that. But you never know. He's typically more patient with younger pitchers but 1) the Sox are loaded with LHSP and 2) E-Rod really isn't his type of pitcher. He might not like him or might be frustrated with his frequent injuries and slow development...
-
I see him in Boston for two more years. Actually he wasn't so bad after the first four hitters last night...
-
He'd probably be terrific at the beginning of the deal. But at 32, if he wants 5 years, he isn't likely to age well and will be an albatross by 35...

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020

I really doubt a Lucas Duda platoon will keep the union quiet. And it certainly won't silence Hanley's agent, who probably has already drafted his motion, just in case.. -
Mark Reynolds can be depended on for power. He can't be depended on for much else, however...
-
His two-seamer has become his out pitch. The problem has been he's throwing it too hard and killing its chance to break properly....
