TheFutureIsNear Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Andrew Stevenson is a realistic prospect from the Nats I think we should be looking at. This is what fangraphs had to say about him. Sounds a lot like what we were looking for from Jackson. "He only needs to be somewhat close to average with the bat to be a full-time center fielder, since his base-running and fielding abilities have enough value to make up for the lack of impact at the plate. If he can maintain decent walk rates, and he ends up being more of a 65 fielder, you’re looking at All-Star type of production." http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evaluating-...gton-nationals/ Stevenson + Koda Glover + Taylor Hearn for Robertson and his entire contract. Get it done Hahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 David Robertson, if traded, could get a decent haul on his own. If packaged with Sale or Q, Sox could become a top 10 farm system overnight. https://twitter.com/RobHart1980/status/759086422188064769 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Heard Jim Bowden say that the Nats are interested in Miller or Melancon, not Robertson. Heard Bowden say Robertson's performance and contract make him less desirable than you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 (edited) I'll go ahead and assume this is the thread to talk Robertson trade ideas. Cotillo tweeted that Mariners are looking to get a reliever, even rentals. How about....Robertson for... OF Tyler O'Neil (M's #2 prospect, #74 in mlb) 1B/3B DJ Peterson (M's #9 prospect) Edited July 30, 2016 by ChiliIrishHammock24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 en Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 1m1 minute ago Sources: #Nationals focused on #Pirates’ Melanin. Not looking good for Nats as landing spot for Robertson. Lots of other possible teams though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess maybe we shouldn't expect everyone else to wrecklessly throw away top prospects for relievers, even rentals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Jays? And Mariners, according to Chris Cotillo. I had suggested asking for #2 OF Tyler O'Neil and #9 1B/3B DJ Peterson in return.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Can the Braves be a dark horse? Have almost no money tied up after this year and acquiring Kemp. Maybe they'll look to add a closer for next season while they are trying to compete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but everything their front office has said makes it sound like they want to by 2017. Expiring bad deals, interest in guys under control through next year only, and no money tied to anyone. Could try to sign guys in free agency as well (Cespedes, Desmond, Reddick) aren't unrealistic). Edited July 30, 2016 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Kemp/Oliveria deal was more about 2 teams exchanging guys they don't want. At the end of the day the Braves will be paying Kemp very little and they get away from Oliveria's domestic violence baggage. Wouldn't be surprised if Kemp was dealt in the off season. And now that I say that....acquiring Kemp actually sounds a lot like a stupid KW move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Robertson was the lone Sox reliever to not warm up before the game today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be really shocked if he isn't moved to someone. And when he is, God help this bullpen... After Jones, the Sox will have a bunch of kids/scrubs commingling into tight games.
