My online classes start now so expect the Sox to make a trade momentarily.

This is good for us. Clevinger is out of the division and Gore isn’t going to Cleveland.

For shits and giggles, let’s assume Kopech, Heuer, and Collins are all available. Would those three packaged together be enough to get Woodruff? I think so but I’d like to hear everyone’s opinions.

The Padres got fleeced lol

If no trade happens tonight, then Not Cishek is full of crap. Because he definitively said a trade would be announced tonight.

Can a mod merge all the trade threads together into one if at all possible?

Maybe that’s why Heuer didn’t pitch today..

Some Sox fans don’t want to trade prospects under any circumstances. I don’t fall into that group. I realize that you have to give talent to get talent. I just want Hahn to be smart about this. If he can get Lynn with Stiever as the centerpiece going the other way, then I’m fine with that. But giving up Dunning, Stiever, Adolfo, and more for a year and a month of Lynn is just a scary proposition to me.

I don’t want to mortgage the future at the expense of just this season. The Sox are in a good position to contend for a long time and I don’t want to ruin that by making a trade for the immediate short term.

I’m just so afraid of the Sox making a shortsighted trade. Being a Sox fan has conditioned me to expect the worst in any scenario

What would it take to get Burnes?

Am I the only one who is scared of trading BOTH Dunning and Stiever for Lynn? I just feel like that could have disaster written all over it.

This game is going by so slowly

Renteria has managed this bullpen horribly tonight.

The only way I would trade Kopech is if he was part of a package for deGrom. That’s it.

Shock the world and trade for Bauer as a rental?

I would trade Adolfo as part of a package for a pitcher without a doubt. Maybe something involving Lance Lynn?

This might be a dumb question, but could Cespedes be the Sox starting right fielder in 2021 if they signed him? Or would he need time in the minors? He’ll be 23 years old by Opening Day 2021 so he’s pretty much the same age as Robert.

I wonder how much it would take to keep McCann around? 30 million? 40 million? Whatever the amount is, the Sox need to do it.

I feel like the Sox will get destroyed in this game which means they’ll probably win. Because baseball is weird.

Hopefully it’ll be Lopez for 3, Detwiler for 2, Foster for 1 or 2, and then go from there. The Sox need to have a short leash for Reynaldo

I’m concerned about Moncada. Hopefully it’s just a rest day, but if that’s the case, why didn’t they rest him yesterday instead?

As long as Robert is back tomorrow for the start of the Cubs series, I don’t hate this lineup. Hopefully Grandal will be back tomorrow too.

I thought he did a pretty good job defensively tonight. And he’ll probably get better on both sides of the ball if he even gets somewhat consistent playing time.
