Squirmin' for Yermin

I wouldn't call that a "move" though.. hmmmm. Either way I'd be happy with a Giolito extension.

Really good in 2018, meh in 2019, horrid in 2020. Lopez for him would be fun, but don't see why the Red Sox would do that.

I wonder what it would take.. Stiever?

Gray >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gonzalez. Gonzalez is the LEAST interesting trade candiadate

meh, I'd argue differently with our offense looking the way it is. And if it doesn't work, Vaughn comes up in a couple months, and then he is relegated to a backup role.. Seems like very little risk.

So did Giolito.

I don't like the idea of trading Madrigal unless it's for a really good cost controlled starter. (Woodruff, Castillo, Burnes, Gray I could be talked into).

Bennintendi

He still makes sense for the White Sox... Play DH and LF this year. If he comes back to life, you decline Eatons option and have Beni as his filler next year.. It does indeed make a lot of sense IF you think he has some game left.. I personally do.

Kluber is honestly my pipe dream. Seems to be the PERFECT guy to bring in. Crazy high ceiling is what I'd prefer. I also assume is floor is fine, assuming health (big Q)

What do you think it would command?

I imagine LaStella would DH and play UTL. Madrigal would remain 2B

I like you Lando, may I call you Lando?

How is it wasteful? We already have a good staff and offense. It would be like putting new rims on a Mercedes. Don't need to, but still nice.

Predictions: Hendriks - 4 years - 44 million Tommy La Stella - 1 year - 6 million Suzuki - 1 year - 3 million Rodon - 1 year 2.25 million + incentives (i know right....) My guess is SP market is more expensive than we hoped and we can't afford to make another big trade. I honestly wouldn't HATE Rodon, as the bridge to Kopech.

Wrong.. There most likely will be a lockout next year.. This is the one year you DONT want to accept a one year deal

Of course he can get to 100 being in the MLB all year thats not the issue. He could pitch 2 innings each time and get there. The issue is building his arm up to 5 innings, even if he hits the same inning total. Wouldn't you agree they're different?

Love me some Hand.. But we would be very LHP heavy in the bullpen for the playoffs with Hand, Bummer and Crochet.. Still the second best option hands down though

Why no on Hand? He's had one "meh" year in recent memory

Yeah, he is so limited because he can't hit home runs

I do think you can say, hey we want you bad and we'd love to get it done by january 10. If it doesn't we are going to actively pursue other options, and if still not filled, we'd love to have you have that date. We just want to let you know that january 11th we will actively pursue others".. And they would get the message, if they believe you.

Yeah they can't afford both. I'd be happy with either for sure. Hendricks obviously #1. But I'd love a pivot to Hand as I think he is in tier 2 alone

Yeah, didn't impress you vs one team but impressed against all 29 others.. PASS

And not good news for Sox?
