Um...because it would be silly to burn a year of team control for like 2 weeks worth of games for Robert/Madrigal, and in Kopech’s case, it makes sense to start him of slowly in the minors considering he’s coming off a major surgery.

If the Sox were going to trade Madrigal/Vaughn, don’t you think it would be a much better idea to trade them for a cost controlled starting pitcher instead of a 3rd baseman on a huge contract, especially considering the Sox already have a star 3rd baseman making pennies?

They should’ve just signed Rendon if they wanted an impact bat.

Anderson is under cheap team control for a long, long time. That matters to a team like Cleveland. And they could sell the trade to their fans by saying they just acquired the AL batting champ while getting some prospects in the process. But it only makes sense for the Sox if Lindor signs an extension.

Not that it will ever happen, but Anderson + a couple smaller pieces for Lindor (if he signs an extension) would be interesting. Lindor would replace Anderson at SS and the Sox could keep Madrigal at 2B.

What would a Lindor extension even look like? 8/240?

At this point, you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining. Gio Gonzalez is a lot better than the Covey’s and Despaigne’s of the world. This is a big upgrade for the Sox.

This has to be a 1 year deal right?

I think he probably means Matthew Thompson, the Sox 2019 2nd rounder. But if Sheets and Thompson is all it takes for Lindor, sign me the hell up.

LET’S GO!

Since we all love fake rumors, here’s something to talk about.

Vizquel, Rollins, Youkilis, Morneau, Pierre, LaRoche, Shields

HAHN’S LEAGUE!

Sox should offer 4/72 for Ryu. I think that might get it done.

That Bennett guy really took the joke and ran it into the ground

Do the Yankees have any interesting pitching prospects? If the Sox could get one of those for taking on Happ, it might not be a bad idea at this point.

If the Yankees include a decent prospect I wouldn’t be opposed to it. Even if he sucks it would only be for a year.

Why would JBJ be of any interest to us? Am I missing something?

The only way I’d even consider it is if Betts agreed to sign an extension.

If Vaughn is on the table then trade him for a young starter with team control. Not 34 year old David Price.

I guess I could get behind that. Anyone other than Covey.

Like who?
