November 29, 20187 yr Do the Dodgers have anything left to make it worth doing for the Tribe? I count 2 Dodgers in the MLB.com top 100, Verdugo and Ruiz, both in the 30-50 range, that seems like a low price for those guys to me.

Smith/Ruiz & Verdugo would be a pretty good starting point for Bauer, who only has two arbitration years left. CLE is likely looking for a major league ready OF so the matchup makes a ton of sense.

Yeah I've read that they prefer to move Bauer due to the cost uncertainty (the 2 arb years you mentioned) while Kluber is signed for 3 more years.

Clevinger & Bieber were never huge prospects but come up and simply get shit done. Meanwhile Cooper has all these nice toys in Rodon, Lopez, & Giolito (sort of) and the results are a mix of frustrating & terrifying. If shit doesn’t gett beter next year, I think it’s time for a change at pitching coach.
November 29, 20187 yr I guess if you're going to do this with a young player, it makes sense to do it with a reliever since they are so volatile from year to year. Still though, if the Mariners are rebuilding, why not sell high on Diaz in a different deal and keep Cano? Unless it isn't a complete teardown? Edited November 29, 20187 yr by soxfan2014

November 29, 20187 yr Schoop was simply awful with the Brewers. I will say that he is extremely close with Machado, so if the Sox show interest in him and Cruz, it could be intriguing.

Until the White Sox actually acknowledge that CF is a possibility for Moncada, I am dismissing that. I don't see it happening, though I definitely wouldn't mind seeing it, even if on a limited basis.
November 29, 20187 yr Author I am just going to say it, Moncada in CF scares me. He has had some really awful IQ plays at 2B. Those kind of plays in CF turn outs into 3B and HR's, not 1B's.

Those kind of plays in CF turn outs into 3B and HR's, not 1B's. Definitely allows his super elite speed to play up though. I'd be intrigued, but wouldn't be so married to the idea what I'd keep forcing it if it just isn't working.
