If they're coming to us for Robertson, HOLY f***ING s***BALLS!

 

Doubt that highly. It could be nothing that those guys are sitting anyway.

 

Benintendi is only going if it's a big boy.

I'd bet Quintana.

 

Benintendi, Vazquez, Devers, and Kopech for Q?

Never in a million years.

No doubt it would be as part of Q or Sale trade

It's DD we are talking about, but I agree with you. Maybe it's a package deal or something. Robertson and Melky? Taking a shot in the dark. But nothing could surprise me the way the reliever market is these days.

I'd bet Quintana.

Hmm....that's not a bad trade for us, but it certainly doesn't seem like the big haul we would all be rooting for. Which may mean it's more realistic.

Personally, if it was me, I would keep Q and deal Sale. You may actually have the chance to resign him after 2020, if you so choose. Sale is an ace, but he can potentially bring you the greatest value. And we never truly know if his arm will snap or not, NO JYNXES. Q may be less of a risk and can still potentially take the anchor.

I would be content with that

Agreed. And and as you alluded to, there's no way the Sox will resign Sale when his contract is up unless he really drops off because of injury or something.

Maybe on Q, but not Sale. If we keep going up in flames every year, Sale will leave for a winner.

Andrew Benintendi is still physically with the team in beautiful Binghamton. Indications are it’s just a day off.

Devers is playing tonight too. Can Monday at 3 just get here?

Benintendi wouldn't have a clue if he was traded until he was pulled or they told him after the game. It's probably an off day but let #HugWatch begin

I would hold on to Frazier unless someone blows them away because 3b is so difficult to fill. I'd also hold on to Sale. Everyone else is up for grabs, though I'd also have to be blown away for Q.

 

I know that's pretty conservative and unlikely to make a big difference, but I really don't think they're that far away from a playoff team. Honestly, if Abreu was hitting like he's expected to hit, they'd probably have five more wins. He's not supposed to be a .275 singles hitter.

 

Trade bullpen guys. Trade Shields. If the Sox can get a few 5-10 rated prospects in someone's system for Robertson, Duke, Cabrera, et al, they can build up their system. They don't have to shoot for the top prospects. Those guys aren't guaranteed, anyway, so why get rid of the few really good players you have for the chance a prospect will become a great player?

 

Package a few of them together, and you might pull one really good prospect from Boston, Texas, etc.

 

With Frazier/Abreu, hope they finish out the year very strong then it's possible to get fair value in the offseason.

 

Shields, Robertson, Gonzalez, and Cabrera are the only guys I think it would be smart to move at the deadline. Also, Sale/Q if a team gives up what they are worth.

If I were Hahn I'd be trying like hell to package Sale and Robertson to Boston.

 

Sale and Robertson

 

For

 

Moncada, Benintendi, Travis Shaw, Kopech, Eduardo Rodriguez

 

I think getting Robertson could sway them over the top in trading both Moncada and Benintendi. Would be hard to say they wouldn't be the World Series favorite if Boston got an ace and another dominant set up man.

I better be getting Devers if Sale is getting packaged.

I'll bet Gonzalez gets moved...presumably we could dump up to 4 starters...how awesome would that be?

 

I would not be surprised to see one of Sale or Q and Gonzo get dealt.

I really doubt Boston wants Robertson. Kimbrall started tonight in AAA and is being reactivated Monday. Sale has to bring at least 1 ML "stud" not just prospects. Maybe this type of deal in offseason w Betts in and Benintendi out.

Ideally one of Shields/Gonzo is dealt. The Sox might as well capitalize on how well one of them have been pitching.

Yeah, when the conversation is trading guys at their "peak", when it comes to Shields and Gonzalez, we are probably talking about AOL in 2001 in terms of peak.

Benintendi, Devers, Kopech, Vazquez, Swihart, and Travis for Q and Robertson

Just something to keep in mind. Shin-Soo Choo is feeling better.

This is the third time he's been on the DL this year though.

Benintendi, Devers, Kopech, Vazquez, Swihart, and Travis for Q and Robertson

 

No need to force trying to get a catcher for the sake of quality...Id be much more interested in prospects like Basabe, Trey Ball, Dubon, and Cosart over Vasquez and Swihart.
