So they want Beni? A Beni + prospects swap for Rodriguez actually makes some sense.

Si.com doesn't have any authors left? SIFive MLB All-Stars Most Likely to Be Traded This SeasonThese players are set to represent their respective teams in next week’s All-Star Game. But they may be wearing a different uniform after the trade deadline. Left-handed first baseman/DH According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Diamondbacks are planning to target one specific type of hitter at the deadline. "The Diamondbacks expect to pursue a left-handed first baseman/DH type at the deadline, people briefed on their plans say," Rosenthal writes...

I can't see the Sox passing on both Roch and Emerson to grab a catcher. Lackey is talented, but drafting him would be absolutely overthinking the entire process.

The past couple of days are the first we’ve heard the FO being linked to Lackey by any writers from what I recall. Have you heard anything yourself first or second hand to corroborate?

I sure as hell hope not. Nobody wants “He Who Shall Not Be Named” v2.0

Don’t take away my Romero.

I know but I couldn't find it. Feel free to move this if you'd like.

Which to be fair may not be until next season (if they have one...)regarding the pitchers.

AI article?

Yea, exactly my trepidation that he’s due to regress back to his average mediocre performance.

Ho-hum. 106-56 pace at the moment...

He's owed a decent amount of money still (around $30 million until 2028). He was also terrible the past 2 years and his peripherals this year are way worse than his ERA (FIP of 4). I wouldn't pay anything of note for him unless the Diamondbacks are picking up money.

Do we think he can continue the pace he’s on this year and would we be able to project him accepting the mutual opt in for 28 if we see him continue to preform? What type of prospect capitol are we talking? Those are the questions I think arise with him.

Braden Montgomery doesn't have the initial burst/range to play CF. He's fine in RF, although his arm accuracy has just been a tad bit disappointing so far in the early stages.

whoops - brain fart. 🤣

Eduardo Rodriguez connected to the Sox as a possible trade fit...at si.com.

The problem isn’t the immediate opening of a roster spot…it’s what happens when the seven or eight guys on the 60 day IL come back.

I was being facetious because she loves lefties so much. We actually need more right handed bats with how the lineup is currently constructed. Not that that should impact the decision.

Detroit's a hoot, but I know people there.

#HugWatch?

They lost to the same team 5-2 earlier this year. They aren't that good.

f*** Detroit.

I really don't want to include Bonemer in any trades. The comparison I've seen most of Gunnar Henderson. Obviously we don't expect him to stay at SS though. LF/2B/3B are options for him. Below are their stats in A+ (since Caleb just got done there). I know this is simplistic comparison lacking some more important details/context. And obviously Gunnar became way better than expected, but Caleb was clearly the better offensive player in A+. I think he's got the chance to be an offensive monster in the MLB. Middle infielder with 40 HR potential. That's tough to part with.
