Squirmin' for Yermin

I did completely warm up to the Castellanos idea but after that Abreu extension there really isn't a fit... UNLESS, the Sox just decide to punt on the pitching market and try to create a juggernaut offense and try to outscore everyone... Otherwise it doesn't really make sense

I remember somewhere Padres wanting to dump Myers and including a prospect.. Who could we get? Pitino, Trammel? Weathers? Abrams, Campusano? They have an AWESOME system.. I'd be interested to see what prospect we could get back. He'd have to be strong and then I'd just DH Myers for a year or two while being a corner OF backup plan.

6 years would be bad for a DH that doesn't really put up studly DH numbers.

I wonder if Didi could be a RF? Middle infielders are the most versatile and he hits LH.. I wonder if that could be a wild option, his market appears to be slow/small? Obviously he is better defensively at SS than Anderson I just don't think they'd move him for Didi

@raBBit have any of our dumb predictions/guesses come close to what may be happening?! You don't need to tell us which one, just a "yes" would provide me some excitement hahahahah

It would make sense if Boston took on half of their deals... But yeah.. It kinda has to be Price and Beni

which I would be completely fine with.. I love me some JD

It almost makes too much sense, if the Red Sox were willing to attach Benni..

Benni.

Literally this is what im most excited for

To get a good player in return.

yes he would be maddening. Rarely gets to the 6th inning. High walk rate.s

Ray/Peralta.

Mets, Boston, DBacks all come immediately in mind.

That's an interesting proposal.. I just hate that Gray would only have 2 years left.

That gets you Price and Bennintendi not Snell.. And yes I would trade that to Boston.

Sale had a far better track record.. Take out Snell's cy young year and he's been.... "meh"

Walker DID pitch at the end of last year, so I don't see why there would be any restraits unless he hurt himself in the offseason.

Without a doubt Walker and Salazar are my two favorites from this list. Walker had so much potential but never hit it. Though he still did pitch well when he did pitch. Salazar is just filthy when he pitches. I think Walker is safer of the two but obviously both could just flop. I would jump for joy for either, prefer Walker.

Maybe I misunderstood all the chat and sharing here of tweets mentioning Cease.

Not according to RaBBit and many other insiders. right?

Doesn't mean we should sign someone expensive that becomes a terrible deal...

This is essentially what I want us to do (unless we target Ryu).. Just sign Castellanos and like Encarnacion and create a juggernaut offense and attack SP in the future.

I've gone from excitement over the winter meetings to nervousness and fear. I really do not want us to trade our young core (Cease, Madrigal and Vaughn). . We just are not to that point yet.

would have made it a failed offseason IMO.. This offseason was setup perfectly for our needs. TOR starters, TOP catcher, and some good DH options (we chose Abreu on long term)
