Control is frequently the last thing to fully come in line for power pitchers. If you traded every young power pitcher who struggled to go deep into games when he was young you would have traded nearly all of them.
July 28, 20196 yr Author Less than 80 hours to go until the deadline, we got to start seeing some action soon.
July 28, 20196 yr I'm going to change my guess from doing nothing. If anything, they move Jay and Nova (along with cash) for players to be named later or some struggling but interesting A-ballers or something.

July 28, 20196 yr The Phillies are a very interesting trade partner as I don’t think they are looking to make a huge deal but could use depth where we can provide decent vets. A weird package like Nova, Luery, and Marshall could interest them. Would probably have to be a package from their 40 man roster, but I wouldn’t hate taking a gamble on giving a pair of 26 year olds with decent upside a change of scenery in Franco and Pivetta
July 28, 20196 yr Author Lots of activity finally happening, I predict the Sox make a move tonight (and no, Covey’s replacement doesn’t count).

What do you expect them to do exactly? And they probably won't announce a Covey replacement until late afternoon tomorrow (return of Tim Anderson perhaps with 12 pitchers being on the roster?).

I honestly think they do a mix of buying & selling. I fully expect Colome to be moved and us adding at least one controllable piece (SP or RF).
July 30, 20196 yr Cardinals just optioned Bader. What would it take for the Sox to trade for him? Does Colome by himself get it done?

Sure would be one way of compensating for Eloy’s lack of range in Lf... Seems like overkill playing 81 games at the Cell. Rather find a traditional RF (preferably left-handed) with plus power.
