There's an article that Y2Jimmy tweeted out that the Pirates big off season move remains to be seen and that they still plan to add. This could be a spot for Robert as well. Not sure what they would offer though. Would figure Griffin or Johnson would have to be in the deal

Looks like we basically posted at the same time. An Arroyo, Petty + package would be great for Robert and Reds fans seem to agree

I really do think Robert will get a bit more than we are expecting. Sell low, sure, but I still think we can land a great deal for him. Maybe something like Arroyo, Petty and Sirota for Robert would make sense.

This is an awesome deal.

I will not be paying $360 a year to watch three bad teams. Looks like twitter and ESPN updates for me

Right. This isn't hard to figure out. Crochet has two years left and Jerry won't pay him. Whereas, Painter (if in deal) would have 6/7 years of control

Teams don't trade top 10/20ish prospects hardly ever now. Take the best possible deal ever. If this were to happen with Painter as a headliner, I would bet there would be a few prospect trades this off season.

Yeah, Painter is really only the pitching headliner that I would be ok with. Painter, Caba, Escobar and a flier would be awesome

Not exactly, but they did mention that Sox would consider a pitcher as a headliner for a Crochet trade if the depth of the trade made sense with the offensive prospects. Painter would certainly fit that bill.

Sox are trading Crochet. The question just is to who? I'm very intrigued by Philly highlighting a Painter, Caba + package

Those prospects are not table scraps. Abreu is pretty damn good and would solve the RF issue. Then a combination of Campbell/Montgomery, Saltiban and an A ball flier would be great.

Aren't the Sox getting a PTBNL or cash for Kopech as well from the Dodgers? I'd assume Sox will be getting a player because he was awesome with them.

I will not be spending $300 a year to watch three bad teams. Pass

Hiring Nevin would just be another awful mistake. Sox should offer Venable whatever to get him here, but we know Jerry won't do that. Which leaves Grady. Familiarity with the team, cheapest option, I think this will likely happen with Grady coming back.
