Can u imagine the PR nightmare that would ensue if we took their crap and they signed Conforto after Machado and after He Who Shall Not Ride Bikes. I'm confident that someone in the FO can see this hurricane coming. They aren’t trading for Wil Myers. He solves exactly zero problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This FO isn't bad at developing young talent and then signing them to team friendly deals. They deserve credit for that. This FO is terrible at evaluating veteran ML talent and valuing them correctly in trades and free agency. …young talent that they traded for… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxBlanco Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I heard that Seattle is NOT in on Kimbrel. Dodgers, Cardinals, and possibly one other team. @Y2Jimmy0 or @Harold's Leg Lift, have you heard anything similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a legit concern with their history with SD. Also on the merits, if the best they can do on Kimbrel is to get SDs crap who isn't even LHH then I don't even know what to say Edited March 17, 2022 by SoCalChiSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident that someone in the FO can see this hurricane coming. I mean, they didn't give a shit about bringing back TLR and there're was plenty of negative reaction to that. If they aren't chasing Conforto they won't care if he goes to SD after the deal. They can't control what other teams do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eloy, Cease, Giolito, Moncada, and Kopech are all from trades. Although I think you can argue that Gio and Cease have grown quite a bit while in the Sox system.

You can also get similar production from the other side of the plate for $6 million in Joc Pederson. Myers would be making a trade just for the sake of making a trade.

To be honest, Kimbrel for Bellinger seems so ridiculously one sided that I didn’t even fathom it being an option.
