It was Hicks + pitching prospect though.

What would we even send back getting a pitcher and prospect.

Yeah there were posters here saying not to add in the OF and let the kid play

Campbell already signed an extension with the Red Sox and will be paid pretty good to maybe not be in the majors. I’m including his money as well in the low cost to acquire.

Hicks + Campbell though? If you ate all money and cost was low?

Yeah worry about him not being the consensus #1 overall pick when it happens

I meant in a bad contract Benintendi swap. Doesn’t really work. They’ve got like 5 OFs on their roster: Anthony, Duran, Abreu, Rafaela (needs to be in CF), and Yoshida

Too many OFs already in Boston

Yeah it wouldn’t make sense to take on his contract if you can just spend that money in free agency.

I can't believe he's *only* 29

Yeah, that's why I made the connection haha

If we took on full salary of the remaining 2 years, I would hope something else came over. Knowing Jerry, we'll send out the interesting young piece in favor of the Red Sox eating money.

I'd rather trade for former Rule 5 Draft pick Shane Drohan than those 2. Edit: it makes me think Sosa would not be involved though

I thought the same when I saw that earlier

You forgot Eloy (though I can't blame you with how little he played ha)

I doubt it was much of a difference.

Yeah they'd be able to do better than just Sosa. Not exactly a salary dump situation.

Yeah, I added to my comment saying we would probably have to add something.

Just checked. He has 4 years of control. I wouldn't mind him at all in a one-for-one. Edit: I guess Sox would have to include a smaller piece as well

I’d consider that a major trade though and Jimmy claims it wouldn’t be a major deal. Though it makes sense.

They have any OF prospects that are blocked? Yeah, I'm not sure how well a Quero for Abreu deal lines up but I think White Sox would have to give up something else in that deal.

They've been in the market for infield help (at 2B with Mayer at 3B) and catching. Though, I think I did read that they were prioritizing defense so not sure Sosa would actually fit the description.

👀

After looking at Murfee’s numbers, let’s hope not.

They both kind of fit in Boston. Wonder what a package back to the Sox could look like.
