Exactly. And he isn't likely to get healthier as he gets older. Not to mention, in order to acquire Stanton, The Sox will very likely have to give up player(s) you would probably prefer to keep. Some sort of Travis, Cjavis, Lin package won't get it done. Think more like Benintendi and / or Devers. The Marlins do need someone back they can count on to sell tickets and be worth watching. ...

Debunking the 3 year window myth -- the Red Sox in 2020
notin replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
LOL So the Sox plan to avoid paying Hanley should be to give his money to Duda instead? Given Duda's career, I'd rather just pay Hanley the extra year and quit pretending it meant the end of the franchise... -
Maybe they can trade a reliever or two for a first baseman...
-
Sox lead all of MLB in extra inning wins, and more than half of them have been road wins. Does this finally mean Dombrowski built a good bullpen for once?
-
But does it matter? What if Espinoza is Greg Maddux 2.0? Does that mean getting a dirt cheap quality starter for multiple years was a bad move?
-
I would agree. Then I remembered the Shaw-Thornburg trade. And the Miley trade hasn't looked very good yet, either. And as good as Kimbrel has been, that trade still strikes me as a bad idea at that time. Given the state of the Sox rotation at the time, closer was the last thing they needed and a silly way to spend the farm...
-
Exactly. This team is built on pitching. How many years of great hitters like Williams, Yaz, Rice, Boggs, etc. with zero titles do people need to see before they realize offense alone doesn't cut it?
-
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...
