That, and nobody plays 162 anyway, especially not this year with the already built in double headers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vaughn is in any of those deals you don’t make it He's not wrong. Rodon at his best puts you over the top which is why SF took the leap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox have tunnel vision with these type of relievers. A doubleplay is a pitcher's best friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Really interesting trade for the Twins. IKF can’t hit much but is a great defender. But to give up Garver in the deal? Very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh ok but I find it odd that when you look at the Mets idea of shedding salary among position players the names thrown around are guys not making much like JD Davis and McNeil. The higher paid position players they have are the guys they just signed like Marte and Canha and the burdensome contract of Cano. I don't see how they can shed much salary among those 3. unless they find a sucker for Cano or trade Lindor or McCann.

Basically attach a couple top prospects to get out from under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suggesting the Sox do this in the slightest, but think Mets would hand over McNeil to get from under Cano considering their payroll situation? Maybe take back Keuchel? Just brainstorming…know something like this was tossed around here months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
