Or... maybe they are and the Sox are smart enough to not trade them? continues heavy drinking

Keys to being a good GM: Don't trade your non-top prospects with Tampa Bay Watch which AAAA players San Francisco is interested in Don't trade young international prospects with Preller

Is this true? I guess it could be, as reading between the lines it seems like Hahn didn't get what he wanted until Shields failed here and it was clear that core wasn't going anywhere.

Garrett Cooper, Joey Wendle, Michael Taylor, Tyler Naquin, Ben Gamel, Brandon Drury, Jon Berti, Charlie Blackmon, Hunter Dozier seem like the right targets in the bargain(ish) bin.

Score more than two runs against a 5 ERA pitcher in the best hitting park in the majors and they won't have this problem

Yes see Grandal made Liam completely miss his spot and throw that down the middle

Slider looks decent though

Cool Liam sucks now

Some "insider" guy was brought on in place of Garfien to talk about how Hahn said the Sox were looking for bullpen help.

No. Some other guy.

Sox "insider" on the broadcast: gonna trade for bullpen help

Only Yaz couldn't score on that

I'll take the run but sheesh.

If it's for Soto, maybe. Otherwise I agree.

Usually for good reason - cost controlled 2+ WAR players are the backbone of successful organizations.

But seriously - Happ is on track for about a 4 b/fWAR season, which is really nice, but he's around for two more years at most and he's going to get more expensive. He also doesn't have any track record to repeat this performance, and he sucks on defense. This trade would leave the Sox with a RF hole still, and it would trade away their heir apparent to that position. Someone like Burger would be a better fit for a Happ trade, I think. Cubs can play him every day at 3B/1B/DH, and I'd bet he'd be a solid contributor for them. Include a lower level arm (Kelly/Thompson/Dahlquist, for example) and I think you have a start.
