GenericUserName Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Maybe it would make sense if we can trade Abreu and then get Carlos Santana from the Mariners while giving up minimal assets in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little to no surplus value and limited defensively. Id move him for Ruiz in a second. But I’d blown away if LAD is offering anything near that. I don't disagree with you, but if the Dodgers want him, they aren't going to be able to give up just scraps. Ruiz is probably unrealistic, but C is an organizational position of strength for them, maybe Will Smith could be had. Obviously I'd prefer Ruiz.

fathom Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 If the Sox do trade Abreu and don’t sign any big free agents, Hahn’s going to have a lot of fun answering pissed of people at soxfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox acquire Carlos Santana, I want Mallex Smith to come with him and the prospect return to Seattle reduced as a result. Otherwise, get better production over the same time frame for cheaper by signing Nelson Cruz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go into 2019 with no notable free agents and having sold off vets for (presumably) weak returns, I'd be perfectly fine with somebody other than Hahn being the one to answer questions at Soxfest, and this is coming from one of the bigger Hahn supporters here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Honestly, I don't think this will amount to much. That tweet was more from the Dodgers perspective than anything else. Nowhere does it say that the Sox are actively looking to trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Why would they want him when they have bellinger? He moving to the OF permanently? Bellinger is better than Abreu.

GREEDY Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Sources: After the Dodgers missed out on Goldy, Michael J. Duarte (NBC reporter with only 7k followers?) got on the internets and tried to figure out who LA might target now to fill their hole at first base. He even copy and pasted Abreu's "stats" right there in his tweet. While the Dodgers might very well be interested in Abreu, this is pure speculation from a wannabe insider.

username Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I mean it’s entirely possible that the Sox could trade Abreu and still end up better at 1B/overall. I doubt they’d flip him just to pick up specs but Abreu being traded doesn’t mean the plan has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
