Squirmin' for Yermin

I actually like the idea of Hays because historically he was a 2-3 WAR player, PLUS we can get Fletcher and Colas plenty of playing time. Well not Colas, because they hate him.

The issue is the Mariners would NEVER trade Montes for Bohm. Too much value there.

90% of players would play here if they were offered more money.

Yuck. They wouldn’t be top 5 for me

Good. I could never envision a crochet package with them

So you would accept an Iriarte and Zavala type package?

Absolutely.

Could you get a backend top 100 for him though?

Rightfully so.

I'm more concerned with Bohm's controllable seasons. Just doesn't make sense for a timeline fit,

I think that's correct. However, I also think the 3rd prospect will be interesting and in a theoretical 100-200 range

Just wait until we sign 4 similar guys so they can start..

He’s the type of guy I’d bring in to see if you get lucky

Please not the Dodgers

Those are all pretty easy “no’s” for me

We should have no issue protecting however many we think have potential of being selected. I'd prioritize: Montgomery, Carela, AHT and Mcgough. Specifically since I think both relievers could be used this year, and early on.

Why do you think either are being offered?

Yeah silly for people to think the Sox would say no when in reality the Orioles laugh at you and hang up the phone.

How would that be a bad deal for the Sox? By the way.. The Orioles would say no, rather easily.

Red Sox may be the best fit unless Abreu is the headliner..

I love Teel but I don't want another catcher anyways. Didn't you allude to Campbell would be included? I could do a Campbell, Abreu + type package. I thought I remember you mentioning (or someone) Campbell and Montgomery

@Y2Jimmy0 I believe it was said Abreu was an ask as well. I'd certainly hope for a better headliner though.

6 years is a lot more than 2.

In most cases yes.. But I also think Painter (and a few others) would be outliers.

yikes.. This makes me think he wasn't allowed to hire his own guys to keep THAT many.
