Escobar just continues to make too much sense taking into account the other areas in need of an upgrade. I still think we see the Sox get a catcher (Tucker Barnhart) and 1-2 arms. I don't see a deep enough farm to do all that and land a big ticket guy.

This is where we need @ptatc

People can make fun for the Orioles and Pirates but the Rockies have to be the most delusional and poorly run franchise ever. I honestly don’t think we’ll ever see that team win anything.

Seriously. I don’t care if injuries are up across the league, whoever is in charge of keeping these guys healthy needs to be shown the door. It’s getting ridiculous now. The re-injury of Engel and now Grandal after being deemed “healthy” is so incredibly bad.

I hate the way they've utilized him this year. I can't see him as a starter ever at this rate.

With the Rockies not having a GM and looking at the Arenado deal, they might have what it takes to pull it off. I'd be shocked if it happened though.

I never said that's what I would give up for him. I think Fraizer is over-performing this year when you include his whole career, but the guy is arguably one of the hotter trade chips this year. The Pirates would be stupid to not begin all conversations with top guys. For the Sox to get him, they are totally going to have to overpay. I'm perfectly fine with getting Escobar.

To even have a chance, I think you'd have to start with Crochet and Kelley if Vaughn is off the table.

Exactly.

Yermin absolutely the right call. This team needs guys with positional flexibility right now. Hopefully Yermin can figure it out, because he such a fun player to watch when he’s on.

First Locastro, now this. Arizona starting to blow it up.

I immediately thought Yermin. He's been struggling and offers little defensive value. Sheets at least can attempt RF and competent 1B. Would not surprise me one bit.

.187/.243/.254 with a .497 OPS

It was pretty obvious he had an issue with his hand or arm. Stone called it. He's been inconsistent as much as anyone in the bullpen, but I wouldn't put his implosion completely on his ability tonight.

And people said Josh Nelson had bad takes.

Would love to know it it’s just Escobar or if the Sox are trying to grab an arm too.

What an odd tweet from Bob. Would love to see something happen. This team needs a boost.

Thought the same thing. Very surprised to see Fry optioned.

I don't think Schwarber was ever a realistic option. This team needs a 2B and a RF. Schwarbs doesn't check either of those.

He’s nothing special. Royals let him walk, that should say all you really need to know.

It certainly makes a ton of sense on paper. Although with Nightengale leaking it, I can't help but wonder why the Sox intentionally want this info out there. They normally don't operate like that unless they are looking at an alternative option and trying to force their hand?

Adding Escobar would be a decent addition. Sox need some more thump in the lineup, especially down in the bottom of the order. He shouldn't cost all that much either, which is important because this team needs to add some arms for the bullpen too.

He gotta cut down on the strikeouts still for me. Currently at 37.7%

He only has 14 innings on the year. 1-2 good outings can even it all out.

Yep.
