Reported last night that #Dodgers are finalist for Romo and also talking to Blanton. Another reliever who remains on their radar: Blevins.

If romo signs with dodgers could be a fallout of nationals going after robertson since they were on romo

Rays and Pirates have been doing it longer.

 

They would basically do it out the gate though, before the player established any presence - especially not to the level of Sale, Q and Eaton.

Rays sign Logan Morrison. 1 year $2.5 mill. That lineup really needs right-handed bats. This is sort of a head-scratcher.

Blevins back to the Mets too. Market is about barren at this point.

Nationals have to be getting desperate.

 

Highly doubt. Shawn Kelley is very good, and their bullpen is better than most people realize anyways. Robertson is a midway point trade piece.

#BlueJays in agreement with free-agent reliever Joe Smith on a one-year, major-league contract per @Ken_Rosenthal

Hammer to Royals.

More supply off the market. Every little bit helps.

lol. Jason Hammel signing with the Royals is an indication that Q stays? 0 chance. No way Sox were giving him a 2 year deal. Other pitchers still on the market just like him.

Felt for a while now he was the replacement for Q if a move is made. It's fine though, don't mind Q staying based on some of these mediocre trade proposals.

They can get anyone still available to replace Q...they can just bring back Peavy. They're not going to compete either way.

I don't think there's any correlation between the two moves at all. The Sox can easily sign a one year stopgap not named Hammel to round out the pitching staff for 2017 if Q is traded.

The guy they took in Rule 5 is Q's replacement. A Q trade dependent on signing Hammel would be idiotic.

Worth noting that this isn't official. Another team upped their offer and there is no agreement yet with the Dodgers.

I don't really think the Sox care about a replacement. No matter who it is, I think the goal is to have a couple of these starters up here for the 2nd half of the season, which means if someone sucks and gets dumped, no big deal.

Exactly. They just need a warm body to eat MLB innings.

Mike Napoli probably going back to the Rangers.

Deal is agreed upon now. Won't be official until Feb 14th when Fielder can officially be added to the dl.

Chris Carter to the Yankees.

 

This week should be very active for remaining free agents. Maybe a trade or three too.
