A few additions at the trade deadline is not going to help this team win in the playoffs if they were lucky enough to get in. I would not trade any significant asset for anything this year.
After two gut wrenching losses to the Dodgers, can the Sox salvage the finale? These next four games will go a long way towards determining whether the Sox will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. They cannot win anything with the bullpen they have now.
Casas has already been out for 3 months with what was initially said to be a 3-9 week injury. Cora said yesterday that Casas is far off from a rehab assignment. This injury is looking like Ellsbury's rib injury. Its looking like a lost season for Casas. Hope he doesn't turn into an injury prone player.
Plus, he is injury prone. Did you see the game recently where he didn't even attempt to throw home after catching a fly ball with the winning run on third base in the bottom of the 9th? He is either lazy or stupid. Fans in Boston would eat him alive. I have a good friend who is a White Sox fan and he can't stand him.
Robert is a lazy, no caring type of player. He’s completely overpaid and he will never reach his potential. The Red Sox would be making a huge mistake to trade for him. No, no no.
The Red Sox should absolutely, positively NOT trade Mayer, Teel or Anthony. They are the future of the team along with Houck, Duran, Devers and Casas. One or two additions are not going to win us a World Series. We don't need a Jeff Bagwell trade.
