YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 10:27 PM) I'd trade Melky in a blockbuster and acquire some pieces for him. I don't see the Sox trading Melky right after signing him only a month or two ago. But you never know with Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 If they traded Melky the Sox would find it near impossible to entice top free agents in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Does anyone else think Doug Fister is now a possibility for the Sox since Scherzer went to Washington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I'm on board with James Shields if we can get him at 4 years. And Melky can't be traded yet without his approval since he just signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 07:08 AM) Does anyone else think Doug Fister is now a possibility for the Sox since Scherzer went to Washington? according the Wash, they want to hold on to Fister, he will command less in FA rt. second, either way, wash is a great trading partner b/c the sox can fill their missing pieces with a package of prospects. second Philly and cole their sp. lastly cincy second what should the sox trade anyone..... this team will still get to the wild card. it is still much better that last yr club. anything can happen. i just don't like to rely on luck, in this case a huge amount of luck.

Why would a team trade for a player who was a free agent a few weeks ago? Unless the Sox are paying half his contract, which would be even more ridiculous. We get it, Melky is your new Alex Rios, but he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I believe you cannot trade a freshly-signed free agent until June 1 of the following season or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should always be looking to improve your roster, whether it be by trade of a FA/waiver pick-up. But I don't think they NEED to trade anyone now.

knightni Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Time to package Danks and Viciedo for someone else's problem that fits the roster better. That's about the only way we'll be adding more pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(well maybe Viciedo) exactly, DV and his 4.0+ mil a yr contract. and use the money to improve. even by using half of that 4 mil for a backup is still money saved and maybe used to get another sp.

There is no decent starting pitcher who is going to be available for $2 million who we wouldn't get on account of Viciedo being in the way. If someone coming off TJS is available for $1-2 million I'm sure we'll have talked to them and have feelers in for whenever that person is willing to sign.

Maybe we could put together the best package for Zimmerman centered around Anderson but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
