Dam8610 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 15 hours ago, Sarava said: A trade like that might make sense to be honest. If the Sox are at the deadline cruising in first place, but have some starting pitching depth issues. A Kopech for Yu Darvish trade might win you a World Series. And cause the average Sox fan to not want to watch baseball for the decade following 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 If we indeed have $30M left. I would be disappointed how we blew $7M to go after a marginal upgrade in Eaton and not throw it all at Bauer. Sign Bauer to 2/$75M. Trade someone from the likes of Adolfo/Sheet/L Gonzalez for a cost controlled RP. Let Bummer, Heuer, and that RP battle it out for the closer spot. Engel/Leury platoon might be as good as Eaton at RF. Best rotation in the AL, top 5 offense. Championship roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt he would go for that with higher offers left on the table - I’ll be surprised if he gets less than 5/170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Why are people so willing to pay Trevor Bauer $30 million per season? He could easily have a 4.50 ERA in 2021. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you get the hoped for growth from players like Eloy and Robert this coming season. If they come up short anywhere compared to other playoff caliber teams, its probably in the starting staff. And the Nats just showed us in 2019 how a dominant top heavy staff can be ridden to a title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is how high do you go with Springer and how long do you wait? Missing out on Machado and Harper was ok because 2019 was a nothing year. Missing out on Springer and then having limited options is my issue. I like the Eaton signing because I think he fits a need but also because he is actually signed. Lynn and Eaton should not preclude them from making additional moves but is a nice back stop if things go crazy. I don't think they get Spring or Bauer because some GM will do something stupid and that contract will be an albatross before the ink dries. Outside of New York how do those big contracts work out? The whole offseason seems to be gridlocked right now. How long are the Sox supposed to wait it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
