Man worst timing to post that kind of thread title lol Edit: for those who didn't see, it said: "Sox/Rockies Trade".

I believe it's the Padres send the Sox money to cover that. If he was placed on waivers and claimed, Sox would just let him go. He would clear waivers and be in the exact spot he is now. My point: if a team could trade for now and also in the past couple months, why would it be more likely he would go next month? Especially if his schtick and selling point is that he can eat innings.

No one is claiming that contract in August. Sox would just let him go at the pro-rated $20m and save money.

I can't speak for everyone, but I just don't like pitchers signing for a ton of money for 7-8 years when they are in their upper-20s. Especially if they had prior arm issues in their career.

Do they need to be added to the 40-man this off-season? If not, waiting until next year also helps carry around 2 extra guys in the off-season.

Agreed. Winter meetings at the earliest but definitely not today (unless of course a team shocks with an overpay).

Honestly, I could see it. I've chalked the Phillies up as a landing spot for a Machado (for either short or third) or Harper. Theoretically, they'd have a year of Garcia in the OF and if they landed Machado, that'd be a pretty good offense.

Complaining about a player, who is currently no longer with the club, playing over him over a year ago makes him not in the wrong? Seems like he could just move past it like other players do.

I'm on this side. Just be patient.

I'd do it. Then Palka can have all the DH at bats.

He's not right-handed.

Think more along the lines of a backup corner bat.

lmao they kept doing that another year with someone (I can't remember who). They were referring to the voice as: "Big Voice Guy" or something like that.

Sounds like he'll platoon with Inciarte (Acuna would play CF against lefties). He's also pre-arb so he has some control too.

Lmao that idea gets thrown around like that actually happens frequently during the season.

Who does he replace in the OF? Will he mostly be a bench bat?

He really hasn't.

I just can't see any team giving up a lot for Rodon right now. Yes, the talent is there but he needs to prove he can stay healthy,

I noticed that too. Are those deals where we trade cash?

Got it.

They have. It just depends on the time frame you have it filtered.

Because they want to compete at some point in his 3 years of control. Personally, I think deGrom makes more sense. Same control but better pitcher.

How fucking stupid. Edit: stupid that people are digging up old shit and stupid that agents don't have their clients scrub their social media.

Especially now that there is actually cap on it.

We can. Just not over $300k on a single player.
