Squirmin' for Yermin

It's now confirmed you would still get a great piece back for Giolito since Boyd signed for the same contract. Boyd is a DFA pitcher lol. He's like fancy Velasquez.

It's honestly an interesting idea/proposal

a 1/18 million is one of the worst contracts in baseball? You say a lot of silly things. Yes, he was atrocious last year... but it's only a 1/18... it isn't going to hamstring long term franchises like other deals.

That’s because he’s not very valuable to anyone.. including us

Wonder what his cost would be. Big contract.

These last two SP deals make me love the Clevinger deal even more

Would you expect it being our major leaguer(s) or prospect(s) traded?

That reliever sounds good to me

I'd absolutely do that Lowe trade. Duvall would be interesting since we solved 2B permanently. I can live with Hendriks IF we spent his money... It doesn't appear we have here so maybe we have another 8 or so to spend?

Wow... This makes even more excited that we got Clevinger for 12 when s%*# Boyd got 10..

Hendriks absolutely frees up a lot of money. I'm for dealing him assuming we can get a serious piece back. If we can't, then I'd prefer dumping Graveman. You could find a taker for his salary

I'd certainly hope you could do much better than Outman in a Hendriks trade. An Outman for Graveman seems much closer in value per analyzers.

Did his D get better? His dWAR seems to have been relatively favorable last year.

He's absolutely a guy I'd take back.. Just obviously his value has taken a major hit

AAAA player barf.

This is absolutely where I am at. 1 year ago the majority of this board wanted nothing to do with Benintendi when the Red Sox were trying to move him. Conforto - Bellinger - Benintendi

Yes.

Yes, he makes sense if we miss out on the other outfielders.

Haven’t lots of what the skeptics were saying been proven right at this point?

Can we get the official contract terms yet? Thanks.

agreed.

I wonder if Kelenic could be had for one of our relievers. Via trade value analyzer (estimating obviously), you could get him for many different combinations. Lopez straight up, or Graveman + (frees up money) would do it. I think you'd have to do either of those and I'm sure Seattle is looking for BP. Doubt they'd give up on Kelenic for one of those guys yet though, though I believe he's as good as gone this offseason. Fun idea.

He seems like a last minute patch plan. I want no part of another DH in the OF.

I would take the over on many of the offensive players.. seems ultra conservative.

Unrelated but my goodness this Herb guy on the Sox Podcast is the absolutely worst... lol
