The only regular it would be nice to move would be Yoshida, unless they can get his 5’1” frame to become useful as a 1b. I do think the Sox have to give up something substantial from the minors. Especially for a rotation upgrade, unless they just get a cheap filler rental… -
They probably will keep both. But the point was just because they didn’t trade him this past season didnt mean they can no longer sell high on him. And while there is no need, they do appear to be talking. That they passed up Cease and Salas strongly suggests they’re not moving him just for the best offer they get. Interesting to me is that the Dodgers could clearly use Duran and have expressed interest, the Sox are interested in Rushing, the two players align pretty well on BTV, but no mention of this proposal anywhere. So again, it’s looking like the Sox need to be blown away to deal him…
-
While BTV had this as a fair trade, the only way I make it is if I’m running the Twins…
-
Got to find the new high. The logic can’t be “well we missed it. Guess we keep him forever and trade Roman instead”…
-
Can Buehler exact his Revenge?
-
Agreed. But what about for a non-rental?
-
Or… does it make it the perfect time to trade him? I mean, isn’t selling high normally considered a good idea?
-
Cease is a definite help. Even in his down year, hes better than Buehler. And with potential to be elite, as his track record suggests. But he’s only short term. I wouldn’t give 3 years of Duran up for 2 months of Cease and the hope that 18yo Ethan Salas can make it worthwhile…

I’m not wild about Duran in LF, but I wouldn’t call CF easier than LF based solely on Yount’s testimony. Plenty of other weak CFs went on to become very good LFs. Yount (along with BJ Upton and I think Jose Offerman) might be the in the minority in thinking CF was easier. I would think CF was harder because it covers more ground, has longer throws to third and home than LF, and judging flyballs hit right at you is very difficult for many (including Duran one memorable day when the Sox faced Toronto and Raimel Tapia). I don’t like the idea of trading Duran, but unless someone moves to 1b, or the Sox can move Yoshida, they do have a bit too much outfield talent. Duran does have the weakest defensive profile among the Sox four outfielders. And Abreu is the hardest to move as he is far and away the best RF plus he is the de facto team leader in home runs. Has any team ever traded away their top two home run hitters and still made the postseason? It seems unlikely…

To make this work on BTV (and using highest-valued prospects that fit ): Boston gets Ryan and Jax from Minnesota Philly gets Jarren Duran from Boston and Jhoan Duran from Minnesota Minnesota gets Aidan Miller, Justin Crawford, Mick Abel, and Eduardo Tait from Philly. And Kristian Campbell and Allan Castro from Boston. (Campbell could be replaced by Peyton Tolle and Franklin Arias, but BTV has a 6 player limit and I was just taking highest value that fits. Campbell did.) The big change is Philly actually giving something of value up as opposed to taking on two All Star players with multiple years of control each, and only giving up two borderline top 100 (and zero top 90!) prospects…

Most of Bloom’s shortstop draftees fell into the category of “best player on his high school team” and were never expected to suck at shortstop…

The win tonight makes us 3-5 against the three NL division leaders. Still 2-5 in the games I was talking about. The Sox are looking at 3-6 or 4-5 in a pretty crazy 9 game stretch. I’m fine with it. There was some talk the Sox needed to go at least 4-5 in these games, which was ridiculous. They absolutely didnt NEED to. But they might do it. We’re not sellers. No go get Yandy and some pitching…
-
So you’re a Philly fan now? I thought you were down on Desperate Dave?
-
His defensive skills will help him maintain his value…
-
I’m sure Cora has some input, but isnt Breslow ultimately responsible for callling players up?
-
Yeah time to move on from Old Man Mayer…

Tampa Bay Rays May Be More Willing To Trade Yandy Díaz
notin replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
No better way to slow down Boston’s future than trade a 34yo first baseman for some part of Boston’s future. Plus with three wild cards, the division doesn’t mean what it used to… -
Why? Will it change their record over the previous 7 games?
-
Sell because they went 2-5 against three first place teams? Yeah I bet no World Series Champion ever went 2-5 over a 7 game stretch before…

Nick Kurtz became the only player in MLB history with all of the following 1. A game with 4 HRs 2. A game with 6 hits 3. A game with 6 runs scored 4. A game with 8 RBI 5. And a game with 5 extra base hits And he did it all in the same game yesterday…
-
Agreed. Grissom had an .854 OPS in June and has a .992 OPS in July. What does he need to do to get a call up? Kill the Wicked Witch of the West?

Isn't that what you did?

So Twins fans don’t like it either? That doesn’t change that the Phillies clearly dominate this deal. In BTV, Philly gains over $50mil in surplus value, Minnesota about $10mill in surplus value and Boston loses over $40mill. Minnesota comes closest to breaking even. Boston gets destroyed in their model…
-
So the Phillies trade away MLB prospects #93 and #97 and get back Jarren Duran AND Johan Duran? Meanwhile thr Red Sox trade prospects #54, #72 and #100 PLUS 3 years of Jarren Duran for the marginally better package of Ryan, Jax, and the rights to pay Christian Vazquez’ salary? The goal of this trade appears to be to funnel as many prospects as possible to Minnesota regardless of which team they come from. Philly fans would love this deal. Twins fans think it’s fair. Red Sox fans would see their team get sodomized. Want to make it more fair? Boston keeps Tolle and Philly includes Aiden Miller. Probably not enough but at least Philly pays something…

7 out of 162 is not a significant number. We get caught up in the parity of MLB to think that it is, and don’t want to recognize it because it can cost hundreds of millions for teams to improve minimally…
