They must not think they have a great chance. As I've said multiple times in this thread, this move doesn't move the needle that much.

Lol what? Not once in that sentence did he say DH. For the love of God, take a break from soxtalk for a few hours. Now you're the one giving us all brain aneurysms.

The Indians are desperate to shed payroll.

Hard to say as of now.

He's a free agent. No trade.

Eh. Didn't cost anything. Can always trade him somewhere else too.

Yep. If he's considering taking $25m less to play for the Yanks, this additional stuff helps.

And you still don't get it lmao

Have a night caulfield, have a night.

No you clearly don't. The point is to bring him in to help bring Machado here. How does that make sense to do the trade after?

Are you fucking serious? You really don't get it? Dear lord.

Isn't he meeting 5 other teams over the next few weeks? I don't think it'll happen Monday.

No. I don't believe a team has signed one to that amount.

Figured.

Fixed. Need that defense in CF.

Again, it doesn't hurt but doesn't really matter if we don't outbid the Yanks.

Same here. I don't expect Abreu to be traded at all. Let's just hope that Palka has been taking fly balls every day this off-season.

Because money.

I remember thinking the Sox would land Cespedes. Worked out for the best but really wanted him at the time.

Eh I kinda felt Alonso would be moved somewhere anyway.

Or like mid/upper-20s reliever.

They can sign Abreu after 2019.

How is Palka's defense compared to Harper's?

Offer the most money and we're good.

To be fair, Edwin was really close to signing. Not raBBit's fault that changed last minute.
