Grisham has been as good or better than Luis Robert over the last month.

I like Grisham but let's not undersell Robert. Robert has easily been better over the last month. 

Grisham over the past 28 days: .295/.368/.590, .958 OPS, 7 HR, 5 SB

Robert over the past 28 days: .363/.422/.613, 1.035 OPS, 5 HR, 13 SB

    I give Jason Kinander some credit. He has swung and missed more than Adam Dunn, but he keeps on swinging.

    I predict they will dangle Abreu, Bummer and Colome and walk away from trade offers since they won’t get the value they want. 15 days to go.

    I’m surprised you don’t fear the team jet going down, because that’s the only part of Murphy’s Law you’re missing.

Nimmo is a CAA guy.  Van Weenie ain't trading away one of his guys.  Go for Conforto.

BVW is such a wild card, I have no idea what he may or may not do.

Todd Fraizer is also a CAA guy and he's likely to be dealt soon. Brodie is worse at his job than he already appears if he allows his past life to affect his decisions as a GM.

Frazier already got his money and is a free agent after the season.  There are at least 10 (I stopped looking) of his former clients on the Mets current roster so I'd say his past life has greatly affected his decisions as a GM.

I guess Boston is looking at Abreu

Any chance the Sox could package Abreu, Colome, & $$$ for a Darwinzon Hernandez, Jay Groome, or Tanner Houck type?

Guys like Sanchez, Engel, Jay and Garcia are not without value as role players on good teams.

Nah.

Except maybe for Garcia, who we should keep. He's not a bad player. Reminds me a little of De Aza in a good year. Yolmer, Engel, Jay? No way anybody wants them IMO.

If Boston wants him, we better get a nice return. A lot of you think Abreu blows at this age, but as far as a hitter, he is a fricking all-star. I'm not saying you get the haul we got for Sale, but you get 2 damn fine prospects and one flier on a prospect. Seriously folks, you undervalue Jose, but he could be a nice piece for Boston for several years. He helps them win the title this year then signs and plays there til 37. Not everybody is afraid of a guy's years 32 to 37-38. Go Jose!

To be fair, you also keep telling the entire board that Abreu is secretly 35.

B.S. I asked if he was older than he says. Never stated it as fact. Some of you guys make stuff up. This is a flat out untruth. I have never said he's 35 and you know why? I have no idea how old he is.

And guess what? It's fair to ask if some guys are older than they say. If he's the age he says he is, great.

I wonder why...Boston isn't in the 2019 race any more than we are.

Boston is 3 games back in WC with 1 team in front of them.  We are 9 back w 4 teams in front.  Love to see Boston miss out especially to an AL Central team. But they have more home games( where they have struggled) than any team in MLB left.

Hope they make a strong offer.  I wouldn't if I were them.

Garcia is he only one with value in that group.  Sanchez makes too much and even if we ate the rest of his money, he hasn’t hit well enough.

No thanks. I want all division teams to fail and then sell off good players for prospects that bust lol.

Please explain. 

Nothing.

I'm also guessing nothing.

I don't think they will. They have a few options at IB so they may offer a salary dump but hopefully Hahn doesn't go in that direction. 

With the recent pen troubles of the Dodgers, I think they might swing a trade for both Colome and Bummer, which I would be fine with, hopefully headlined by Dustin May.  

If Boston wants Abreu, I would trade him for Houck and Mata, then resign him in the off season.

No offense, but if you are a contender there have to be better options than trading a real prospect, a can't miss, to Chicago for Colome, a guy who we acquired for just Narvaez. This year we truly are overvaluing our guys. Picture yourself as a GM. You don't acquire Bummer and Colome for a stud. Not to mention my prediction Bummer is somebody the Sox have no reason to deal. Too young for the flip mania.

My preference would be to keep Jose for another year or two.  Vaughn will be ready and Jose will be getting older.  There is certainly no reason to be trading Jose for a box of rocks.  Until reinforcements get here someone has to knock in some runs.
