Jake Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 The "Todd and Melky" thread got locked and consolidated in the Frazier trade mega-thread. I haven't heard any rumors, but they will come. With that said, given how little the Tigers got for JD Martinez, it looks like it will be hard for the Sox to move Melky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think he winds up back with the royals along with cash for SS Nicky Lopez* or OF/1B Samir Duenez*. BA just ranked both of them at 10 & 9 in their midseason update but the royals system is in shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think he should fetch more than we'll end up getting. He is the perfect rental player for a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:55 PM) Waivers. Yeah man I just don't see anyone willing to give up anything for him, given what Martinez returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beautox Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 07:13 PM) Cmon, Beautox, why would Royals give up Lopez? Because he is a 40FV SS in a horrible system, ranked 20th by fangraphs at the beginning of the season and a comparable player value wise to Mendick in our system? and the royals need help in LF/DH for their last Hurrah before their window shuts? I imagine the Sox would be picking up the remainder of his salary as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Take the best offer, if ya get one, and be happy with it. I have no expectations on a return for Melky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Eat the majority of the ~6M he is due and see what the best offer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If I am a contending team I'd want someone like Melky for sure. He's a pro, is consistent, has a good arm, and can be had for cheap. Sadly it won't be good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might have a few teams interested, especially if an injury happens in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melky could be a really good bat off the bench? You could do much worse than him for a three month rental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 What about Tampa Bay? Rasmus was rotating between the OF and DH before he decided to leave the team. Eat remainder of his salary and see what you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 If I was a contender who needed a bat I would be happy with acquiring Melky. Unfortunately teams dont need him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) If we could find someone to take Beckham and Navarro off our hands in recent years then we can find a team who will want Melky. But I don't expect anything better than someone with a pulse. Hopefully that guy is the next Yency Almonte.

I saw him at 3rd earlier this year and he is not a major league 3b. He has a bat but no glove for the big leagues. Smart move getting him to learn the OF as his bat can play in MLB.
