Damn, was there already discussion about Nimmo in this thread before my post? I honestly haven't read any of the 15 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just doesn't make sense. Not really sold on Nimmo either. If they are going to give up prospects for an OF it has to be a young, slugging, LHH. If that isn't available then you just give up money in FA for a slugging RF. I'm not sure what Luis Robert in CF has to do with acquiring a RF? How does Robert make Laureano redundant? And I think Nimmo would be a very interesting buy-low candidate. Not too dissimilar to the idea of buying Pederson from the Dodgers last off-season.

caulfield12 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 But no consensus on what the Mets are going to ask in return for him...in their situation, no rush to trade him at his floor value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not trading ReyLo as someone suggested to get him. The ReyLo trade was reference to acquiring Laureano, not Nimmo. Nimmo would likely be had for some back-end top 10 guys as the headline.

Moan4Yoan Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I remember some posters saying they would be fine with Leury starting in RF next year. Leury .680 OPS Garcia as our starting corner outfielder. I hope these posters have been laughed or ridiculed out of existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree unless TA can move to OF (and if he can, that would take care of several issues). Even if he can't/won't, Didi brings LH pop and reliable middle IF skills. I've seen several pro-JD Martinez posts and personally feel Didi brings more to the table at this point and will cost considerably less.

oldsox Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Rockies would love to get rid of Charlie Blackmon. They are a mess. Charlie can still hit. His contract could choke a goat, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His contract could choke a goat, tho. “Only” $93 million for years 33-36. I think we’ve seen how this plays out often enough, especially for a CFer who’s more exposed to injury, and coming over from the NL and then the Coors Factor as well. He’s had a very solid season this year, but how long will it last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not that bad a player. If Robert and Madrigal start the year with the Sox we can afford to have a non all star at one of the positions. I'm sure the Sox would love to go cheap and stick him out there though there was that tweet from the reporter the other day saying Rick wanted a LH stud free agent bat in right which is fine too.

nickofypres Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Sox have had a lot of interest in Puig the past few seasons, iirc. Weren't they rumoured to be after him at the trade deadline or offseason a few years back? I feel like based off positional need, and that he's piqued their interest in the past, and maybe because of the Cuban thing Puig is here next year.
