November 19, 20196 yr Hadn't heard this rumor before but mlb.com hints at the return of The Shark in #9 on this list. https://www.mlb.com/news/famous-mlb-players-who-could-get-traded They also mention us a possible landing spot for Corey Seager which I don't see as Tim seems to be a fixture at shortstop.
November 19, 20196 yr Sounds more like the title of a horrifying horror film, not the makings of a good off season plan at all.

Man, Seager would be outstanding.

You can makes changes based on something a coach suggests but if you feel it's not working for you then tell the coach and go back to what makes you comfortable. Shouldn't be any fallout from that.

Agreed. If you're a professional, it shouldn't matter. Although one would think if Coop had issue with the whole thing, they wouldn't entertain such a move.
November 20, 20196 yr He would be a better move than any of the other back end SP we are discussing. Edited November 20, 20196 yr by cjgalloway
November 21, 20196 yr ~$18MM for a geezing geezer whose xFIP in a cavernous NL park was >5? Holy fucking shit, is this rumor stupid. Now, IF SFG were to pick up $12MM of his one remaining season, and take a crappy low-level token like Korey Zangari in trade, fine.

Not for $18 Large, of course.

While it could be a defensive improvement, we know Anderson can hit AL pitching, not so sure how long it would take for the other guy. The Sox have a poor history of veteran NL talent working out for them. Shark is just another example.

November 22, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, poppysox said: Just focus on pitching and RF. I agree, but I also think it couldn't hurt to dangle Madrigal and see what's out there for RF options. If we can get a controllable young stud, might not be a bad idea.
November 22, 20196 yr There are numerous 4th/5th starters that they could sign before having to trade for Jeff Samardzija. Sox have a SS; why in the world trade for 2 year Seager and use their only 2B prospect to do so. Trading for short term veterans put the Sox in this mess to begin with. Please don't repeat the failed practices. Edited November 22, 20196 yr by GreenSox
