The old, “gotta give to get”. I like Sheets too and think he may be very good for the next 5-6 years, but the Sox window is limited and they have to do everything they can to make multiple ALCS appearances to have the shot to go all the way.
Bold prediction time- Conforto is signed tonight.
Kimbrel, Sheets, and Burger are all traded in the next 10 days. Sox add pitching and a catcher, and we see a roster on opening day that can compete for a championship.
Story and Conforto need to come off the board today. You know who to the Sox.
Kimbrel traded to a west coast team.
Sox sign or trade for a backup catcher.
Sox trade for Manaea.
Sheets and Crochet for Montas, I’d probably have to say yes. I’d prefer Manaea over the guy with a PED suspension though.
I’m not trading Vaughn this year. Period.
