Abreu will be re-signed and will be the primary first basemen for a few more years.

That leaves DH and platoon 1B  spot for Vaughn.

That means you trade Eloy and then after that, the damn breaks and you listen to offers on any player.

The 2022 version of the Sox never was able to gel because of injuries and under-performance. 

Anyway, this is the Yankees year, so what difference does it make?

 

 

The Giants probably felt it was there year as well in 2021.  Rarely works out that way, especially if a shorter division series starts going the wrong way starting off at home for a favorite.

Why would a team like the A’s interested in cutting payroll down to the bone want Eloy?

Why would one extra year of control matter (unless they picked up even more expensive options) when they aren’t going to be a contender for the foreseeable future?

You move Montas and get back a player who ,if healthy, could be worth more than Montas in trade. They just have to find a way to keep him healthy and pay him $10.3M next year and if he has a big year trade him. Not likely, I know like most trade scenarios from fans but you never know what a GM might do. As a GM you keep making trade offers and maybe  one everyone thinks is crazy can work for you.

My memory failed me again, so I had to look up who we got for Montas.  Todd Frazier.
