January 5, 20188 yr https://theathletic.com//202710/2018/01/04/...s/?redirected=1 In this, and don't ask me to send you screenshots, Rosenthal says Indians are still interested in moving salazar who has 3 years left. I've always loved salazar. I have no idea what a guy like him would require to get. He needs to get healthy, we get pitchers healthy (not named Rodon). Basically, I think yesterday was the most exciting thing that will happen before soxfest, so, yay or nay, would you give up anything for a 28 year old starting pitcher with 3 years left if his name is Danny Salazar.

You could probably buy him at his low point right now, right? I'd imagine Indians would be looking for big league help and they could likely use an OF. Would you do an Avi for Salazar deal? Hope to get Salazar right and if so either extend him or trade him. If Salazar got healthy and good, he'd probably bring back more than Avi in a deadline deal. I think if the price was prospects, I'd have to pass on anything in our top 10-12.

I have a deep affinity for pro ball player for pro ball player trades so the answer is yes. I feel better about flipping Salazar for prospects than Avi. Salazar could also end up being a new wade davis.

I agree, if the Sox got him, I'd put him in the pen and let him have the 8th and then proceed to the 9th if he can handle it.
January 5, 20188 yr The kid has an absolutely live arm, though I don't think giving up real pieces for him is a good solution for where we are now. If we are going to do that, I would much rather have it be a position player than pitcher.
January 5, 20188 yr Author Its one of the players I would just love to know the trade value of in discussions.
January 5, 20188 yr He's a good buy low guy. I think the problem is the Indians are close they are looking for immediate impact guys. I'm not sure you can swing a deal. Maybe you offer Garcia but is that enough? They need bullpen help more then anything. Don't see a matchup

Given that Salazar is at his low point and Avi is at his high point I'd probably look for 1 more piece coming back, like whoever the Indians drafted in the 3rd round last year or something like that, but on paper that's a reasonable match. Gets us several years of control out of it.

Gets us several years of control out of it. That makes sense - I'd probably do it straight up, but I obviously won't complain about another prospect. From the Indians perspective, not sure it makes 100% sense. They could use Salazar in the pen this season and then protect themselves in case one or both of Miller and Allen leave next offseason. They do need another bat in the OF though most likely and RH bat fits well with all the lefties they have - Brantley, Chisenhall, Almonte, Zimmer.

January 5, 20188 yr I've always found Salazar to be underrated. I'd love him on this team. But like everyone else here has stated, his value is hard to peg.
January 6, 20188 yr I would do Avi for Salazar straight up in a heartbeat. I'd drive Avi to O'Hare myself if that was offered.
January 6, 20188 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 6, 2018 -> 12:15 PM) Rumor has been Indians asked for Happ for him Yeah probably not a match haha The point is that, Danny, if you are listening, I have big plans for you on southside if you can somehow get released.

January 7, 20188 yr This would be so amazing. I'm not holding my breath at all but imagine if the Sox got him, made him the closer, and he thrived? He's controllable through 2021 so his value would be through the roof.
January 8, 20188 yr Can't see him coming cheap, especially to a division rival. Pass. Edited January 8, 20188 yr by soxfan2014
