You're right. No player can ever improve or learn a new position I guess. Edit: plus, NL will probably have a DH and it won't be an issue at some point when is up.

Could settle in at 1B. Or flipped next dead line or off-season after another good season.

I'm sure teams were lining up for a declining Abreu, Welington Castillo, and Jon freakin Jay. Even if the Sox ate some salary.

Dammit true.

Those 3 will at least get a QO and a draft pick for their teams. Edit: Castellanos to Cubs

Wrong. Nate Jones.

I mean, free agency looks pretty sad for next year. Glad we don't actually have to trade for a closer.

One less reliever they need to find for 2020. And a closer at that.

Hell, maybe a team decides they want to trade for him in the offseason if hes available (anyone is for the right price).

They didn't really have much to trade. Am I disappointed we didn't get a good prospect for Colome? Yes. But I also realize offers may not have been what they wanted.

Angels near deal for Stassi. Astros acquire Biagini.

Right. He's owed about $2.5 mill. If you're not going to spend the mill in the international market, spend it on Colome to make a deal.

Go all in. Offer to take David Robertson's full contract (DFA him when we find out if he needs TJ surgery or not) and deal Colome to them for a good package.

Exactly. Bumgarner too...just in case.

Think we can safely say Colome for Frazier isn't happening.

My bad. I thought he was a rental for some reason.

I could still see a team dealing for him, depending on price.

I think they make sense for Colome too (a team that wants to compete next year), having the year of control. They did just trade for Stroman and Colome can be with the team in like 10 minutes lol

Yeah I can see them make that move.

Dodgers, Phillies? Do the Cardinals need another reliever?

Boyd at least should have some control. Definitely weird on Castellanos (unless they extend him).

Dodgers acquire Gyorko. Now move on to Colome!

Was reading that the Red Sox still need bullpen help.

Soxtalk: Only trade him if your price is met. Also Soxtalk: wtf is Hahn doing?!?!?!
