The timing does not match.

This is a middle schoolers dick joke dream.

Yeah, that's the problem. I mean absolutely has trade value, but we have nothing in place to replace him with. Maybe you fill say the OF hole, but that just opens up a hole in the SP. Unless you feel that the combination of spending is better spent with the new player + the signee, versus Gio and the free agent market, you still have a hole. Maybe one set of positions is cheaper on the trade market vs the free agent market so you do the deal so that you come out ahead on the combination of the moves.

It's like Tony LaRussa holding down the dugout.

What a tank year.

If it ever happens, you should be here. I have some killer one offs.

$64 million for Sal Perez IS one of the worst contracts in baseball.

Well, if these pitchers have that kind of value, it totally changes the value composition for a guy like Lucas Giolito, even coming off of a pretty mediocre year. I will also just mention that his defense really cost him last year, and that wouldn't be the case in a lot of other places who could bid for him.

I am sure this is a useful distraction as to what is actually going on, but notice this is 100% speculation.

For the record, the Sox virtual garage sale is garbage. The technology they are using to run it has a hamster in a wheel. It is impossible to check out without the damned thing crashing.

The Red Sox got beaten in the free agent market by the Rays.

See above.

None /thread

Honestly, I believe a guy who isn't sharing tons of names versus the guys who are laying the whole plan out there. Makes more sense to protect sources versus what would be burning them all.

These threads are always spectacular. THIS GUY SUCKS! Oh, by the way, we should trade him to the best franchise in baseball, they will give us value for him!

Pass

I keep thinking that after the last two season, and the palpable anger in the Sox fan base, there has to have been a pretty big impact in the fan base. They have to be thinking that they need to get the attention of the fan base, or it will be another down season in the ballpark.

FWIW, this is never the complete schedule./

Look I have zero problem with it or whatever they want to do. If someone will pay them to dress up as clowns, take the cash. I think what irritates the piss out of everyone is when headlines like this are happening, yet teams are crying poor.
