July 22, 20196 yr So says some recent speculation from Boston Globe. Would you be interested? Does Colome, Bummer and Abreu get you even close? What would need to be added? Purely speculation here to discuss...not necessarily saying Red Sox would be interested. Was shocked to see report he may be available.
July 22, 20196 yr Funny how quickly things change. 3 months ago nearly all White Sox fans would have gladly traded Moncada for Benintendi. Now I’m not sure I’d even give up Andrew Vaughn for Benintendi.
July 22, 20196 yr Benintendi would be a nice fit for us. Unfortunately... he's not worth the probable asking price. If the Colome, Bummer and Abreu deal mentioned above was available I would make that deal.

The Red Sox are close on the luxury tax. They had to work cash considerations w Orioles to get Kushner. Betts is in the final year of his contract and Bradley's is also coming up. Benintendi being cheap and under control is very valuable to them. I am sure they would listen but I would think it would have to be MLB ready prospects since Benintendi does not free up cap space.

I am sure they would listen but I would think it would have to be MLB ready prospects since Benintendi does not free up cap space. I don’t see the match personally. And I’m not sure how much Benintendi is actually worth with 3 years of control remaining and heading into arbitration next season as basically a 2 WAR player.
July 22, 20196 yr If the White Sox want a 2 WAR OF, they should simply sign Castellanos in the offseason. Should only cost money since I can’t see the Tigers extending a QO. Puig would be an option as well.
July 22, 20196 yr No. Concentrate on pitching. Okay if they'll take Colome and Abreu, but otherwise, don't move young pitching for him. Benintendi is a very good (never great) player having a down year. Sox got good fortune when Boston wouldn't include him and made Moncada available instead. Edited July 22, 20196 yr by GreenSox

None of the FA fit that description.

Benintendi was worth 4.4 fWAR last year and is mired at just 1.2 this year. Do you really think that Dombrowski would deal him at his lowest value? They had a million opportunities to do that with Jackie Bradley and never pulled the trigger. Granted, Bradley is a better defender at a premium position. At any rate, it’s going to cost a lot more than an expiring Abreu and bullpen guys. Edited July 22, 20196 yr by caulfield12

I agree it’s gonna cost more than Abreu and two pen arms. I said as much. What do you think would be a fair deal. I do think the BoSox would have interest in all of Colome, Bummer and Abreu. What do you think would need to added?
July 22, 20196 yr I really don't see a scenario where they trade him. It's speculation, that's all. Writers always speculate about trading guys at their lowest value, but FO rarely do this. Funny how that works.

This really just sounds like the Boston Globe being standard shitty Boston Media. But, if it is true idk if the Sox want to part with the ammo it would take at this point, I would think Benintendi would get at least half of an Eaton return. At least, someone would beat Abreu and a couple pen arms.

They could play Holt in his spot, theoretically...but then you have a hole at second. I guess in that scenario, Abreu would play first, Chavis at second base and Holt in LF. Leury Garcia being included in the package isn’t going to be enough, either.
July 22, 20196 yr Trade Moncada to compensate for the epic failure of our front office. They got tricked into taking Moncada even though demigod Dave Dombrowski knew he was going to be a bust.

Writers always speculate about trading guys at their lowest value, but FO rarely do this. Funny how that works. I just can't see a scenario where anybody gives what Boston would want and that's likely a MLB ready prospect, (an org's top 1-2 guy most likely), then another back end top 10 guy (likely 2). He's a young OF controlled for three more years and is hovering around a 3 WAR true talent before 25. For Chicago what would even get it done? You aren't trading Madrigal. Robert, come on. Vaughn can't be moved. Nobody else in our top 10 probably moves the needle for them. Jose Abreu, Colome and Bummer isn't getting it done and that's probably our best realistic offer. Edited July 22, 20196 yr by chitownsportsfan
July 22, 20196 yr Doesn't have as much value nor control as you'd think. Bummer, Colome, Steele Walker, and Bryce Bush would work from a value standpoint IMO. Most of it comes from Bummer of course
July 22, 20196 yr Not interested enough to send out any of our high profile prospects for Benintendi. However, this does worry me, as it was known the Sox wanted Benintendi bad in his draft year. If that was KW (not sure), I could see him pushing hard to get him, since he doesn't seem to let it go once he wants a player.

July 22, 20196 yr There is no way this is remotely realistic. Literally fake news. Boston is over the tax already and he is 24. They also aren't going to absorb 20+ million in a couple pen arms and Abreu for him.

What’s his true level? Last year or 2017 and 2019? Is he that much better than Puig or Castellanos that we should be giving up legit MLB ready prospects for him? If they want Colome and Abreu that’s one thing but he’s not that much better than the other two impending free agents that cost only $$$.
July 22, 20196 yr @Flash Well that would get it done but yea not happening. @BackDoorBreach does boston have anybody we can absorb NBA style?
