    Agreed. Mayer? I deal. Campbell? I think about it. Anthony? Nope. Best of luck, Getz, for passing on the MLB.com #7 prospect…

    I think Alcantara is much less of a gamble than Burnes or Fried…

    I rely maybe too much on BTV. But they are objective, and quite often accurate…

    Ok, but I’d rather have Buehler than Cooper Criswell out there nearly every fifth day. Of course signing Buehler does give the Sox a chance at both scenarios..

    Congratulations! You found a room below the sub-basement…

    He could serve as a 26th man INF/OF bench player whose speed is utilized as a pinch runner for a much slower ghost runner. His low ceiling works for him in this case, since he’s earmarked for bench duty. Teams like Tampa, Oakland/Sacramento/Las Vegas, and Pittsburgh could find a use for him. But Fulmer makes sense for nearly everyone..

    So you’re down on them for not getting Kaleb Ort 2.0?

    Fulmer is the least risky, seeing as to how he has a decent MLB resume. I also think teams might be intrigued by the defense/speed/versatility of Max Ferguson…

    I believe the Sox are ineligible to draft due to having a full 40 man roster. Potential losses: Michael Fulmer, Max Ferguson, Corey Rosier, Yodanny Monegro Long shot: Blaze Jordan Most likely outcome: Just Fulmer…

    Like that one? Some of my finest BS…

    This argument goes beyond Straw Man, right past Stick Man and directly to Brick Man on the Three Little Pigs scale. Alcantara is an elite talent, but his backloaded contract is entering the two priciest years, a point where Miami quite often sells. Arguments that they might want him to pitch to increase his value are easily offset by arguments they don’t want to risk him pitching and being ineffective or getting hurt again. Now I’m not sure he is actually available, but if he is, the post TJS surgery risk, while not non-existent, is certainly not high based on plenty of league wide data. And said risk is probably less than the success rate of even top prospects living up to their hype. With his third very affordable option year, Alcantara should absolutely be worth dealing even Campbell for. I would be hesitant if they insisted on Anthony, but not necessarily immediately out…

    He’s been a consistent 3 bWAR player over his career…

    I will say that for so-called Untouchables. Everyone agrees with the caveat about moving a player “in the right deal.” But that’s not the same as moving an Untouchable for players that are actually available…

    Do you think the Cubs regret dealing Gleyber Torres for Aroldis Chapman? It’s one thing to deal Fernando Tatis Jr. for James Shields. But sometimes trading a future star does work out anyway…

    There’s enough post TJS history out there to allow for a very safe guess.

    Would you trade Campbell (plus?) for Sandy Alcantara? He can be controlled for the next 3 years for $55mill…

    But sometimes a prospect’s main contribution in MLB is just playing passably for minimum wage…

    If you’re ever playing the shell game, it turns out you really cannot say “one of those three “…

    You do realize it’s December 10th, right?
  20. notin
    And you should care. Your dad was probably up half the night perfecting that signature!

    Andres Gimenez to Toronto…

    He’s got the first part down…

    Are Diaz and Grandal really better than Vazquez?

    Burnes wants money. Lots and lots of it. Like Scrooge McDuck levels. That’s my interpretation of him. Again, he won a Cy Young and still lost his arbitration hearings. Either he’s asking for waaay to much cash or he wants something teams can’t give him. Like a small island in the Pacific or a pet baby unicorn…

    They’ll just dial back on the ol’ health insurance again…
