I'll be more specific. Is trading Dunning and Micker going to destroy the rebuild? I don't think Kopech is getting traded at all.

Depends on what it takes to get him and how other arms develop since he’s only got next year remaining. However we desperately need 1 more starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to cut payroll substantially because of the virus, ditto Vaughn and Dunning. Where are you coming up with depth if you have to cut payroll next year?

I don't think Kopech is getting traded at all. Destroy? No. Potentially be very costly? To the point it could be a difference maker as soon as next year? Given the situation this year, there’s a really good chance that it could hurt us badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading for any of the realistic options on here is not going to destroy anything that's being built. In reality people just don't want to trade prospects. Depends on the compensation. I would not give up any of Vaughn, Kopech, Dunning or Madrigal. Stiever is OK as the main piece but the additions cannot be Dahlquist, Thompson, Crochet or Kelley (I dont think the latter two can be traded right now anyway). We need those guys the next few years to fill in for injuries and/or development issues with others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and I don't buy into the doom and gloom for the payroll. There's just a large portion on here that don't want to see Dunning pitching for another team. I understand but let's stop beating around the bush and exaggerating about the effect it's going to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that matters or not I don’t know, but it darn well could. If they had to cut payroll by 10% next year, they’d basically already be at that number if they let both Rodon and Mazara walk with that contract.

fathom Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 So with Yoan hurt and Mazara being a bust so far, the Sox really should look to add a quality lefty bat. This team will struggle against tough righties given the lineup construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Kopech is getting traded at all. I have no concerns trading Adolfo. I am more concerned about trading Dunning as I think he’s super underrated and none of the young arms have established themselves yet, but I’d probably be fine with that deal for Lynn in the end.

Danny Dravot Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I would not trade Vaughn for anything. Stiever, Adolfo, Dunning, and anyone else I would trade almost at will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think the thing for me is. Neither has Dunning. I’m interested to see which teams have actually exchanged names with Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And until Cease, Kopech, etc. prove themselves, I ideally want as much as depth as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
