I think this is going to be a slow week all around. Not many FA have signed. They really should back these meetings up month or so, and maybe provide some incentive for teams and free agents to sign sooner. Maybe make the compensation lower for the tendered guys the earlier they sign.

 

They could still hold the job fair.

Heyman subtlety setting up a JBJ for Schwarber trade. Edit: nightengale not heyman

 

Why would Boston do that? JBJ surely has more trade value than Schwarber after his replacement level 129 games in 2017?

 

I get Cubs fans are obsessed with him, but outside of playoff heroics he just hasn't been very good.

So they're not getting Benintendi for him like they think?

Nothing remotely interesting

The first day of the Winter Meetings always seems boring. First night through the third night always seems active. Day 4 is just the Rule 5 Draft for the most part.

Pretty sure the Sale deal happened at like lunch time on Monday last year.

I was just saying it usually seems that way around the meetings overall. That would be an outlier for sure.

 

Edit: Sale trade was actually the second day on the 6th (that Tuesday).

Sounds like the Red Sox want to replace JBJ with a power hitting run produer in the corner spot. I'm thinking they will sign JD Martinez, put him in LF and shift Benintendi to CF.

 

It will be interesting to see how the market lines up for Abreu. Bruce Levine said the teams who missed out on Stanton-- SF and STL can come calling for Abreu. (No surprise there) Hahn would be selling really high on Abreu and i'm assuming he would have to be extremely overwhelmed to deal him.

 

What does the market look like for Avi?? I feel he is the biggest wildcard going into these meetings. I say there is a 70% chance he gets traded and a 20% chance Abreu does.

Yes. It was around noon when my phone blew up.

Yeah it was around noon when I became completely un-productive at work.

Yeah it was in the afternoon (also did nothing post-deal). Was not day one though.

Oops, my bad. For whatever reason, I had it in my head that Sale was Monday noon-ish and Eaton was late afternoon Tuesday.

All good.

Jon Heyman‏Verified account @JonHeyman 41m41 minutes ago Yankees are interested in gerrit cole, who they once drafted. But initial impression is pirates arent trading him.

Ha yeah right. He sure as hell won't be extended.

Would Abreu plus Avi G be enough to get Benintendi . Chavis,. and another prospect from BoSox?

I don't think so, but thought I would ask for other opinions.

That's an excellent Clint Frazier match.

I don't think they want to trade Benintendi.

Yeah especially since they may move McCutchen. Frazier, Marte, Polanco in the OF then.

Hahn says there’s been a heightened level of trade talk since the meetings began.

I really don’t think Carlos Sanchez will be on the White Sox 72 hours from now. A lot of teams are looking for 2B and Sanchez is probably one of the more attractive options.

It's early, but there is growing sense #WhiteSox might not top Rule 5 Draft Thurs for significant activity this week. Repeat: it's early.
