Just wait until next week when the Sox get Martinez and Price. 

I would not hate this. This may actually be the best option available at this point

Kenta Maeda requested to be traded if the Dodgers insist on him being a swing man. Maybe go kick those tires... or ask for him along with Joc?

Wonder if they try and trade for Quintana

is there any rumors to MadBum to the Angels?  That would be ideal to up our chances to Stras.... No way twins would go that high for him

They are doing the rounds with Cole and Strasburg. Based on Price may push them to him. But they will be a big threat on Strasburg for sure.

Maeda is a good SP.. I'd love having him.. The Dodgers always toyed with him and would rarely allow him to go past 6 IP no matter his pitch count.  I've had him on my dynasty team for many years so i've followed him decently well.

Mods, could someone merge this with the other Bumgarner thread? 
Thanks.

This isn't at all a MadBum thread.. We are talking about what's next.. Maeda, Price, Boston, Robbie Ray.

Hey if we sign Bumgarner atleast we have this to look forward to

I did always enjoy the stair down

It's been a few years since the Sox had a red-assed idiot on their pitching staff, why the hell not

I'd rather have Hamels for 1-18 than Bumgarner for 4 years -18 per

We're somehow going to have to trade I think for an impact arm.  Idk how that happens.

Will be fun to see Barrett/Pierzynski part II with Bumgarner/Contreras.

...or Portis/Mirotic part II with Puig/Bumgarner?

Who though?

after getting chastized all offseason for proposing sox trade for one of the best players in baseball, looking forward to people seeking to trade for robbie ray for 1 year.

Lets sign Bumgarner and Puig and just brawl

Yeah, good question because I have no idea.  But Keuchels and Madbums aren't going to cut it.

Plan B?...It's not too late to trade for Brandon Crawford...the old tricks are the best tricks

Hey, does anyone have the engineering chops to design a MadBum exploding bobble head?   I'd go to that giveaway.

Came here thinking the same thing but having no idea what is possible to pull off.

Now we know what we’ll be talking with the bottom dwellers about next week.

I removed the specific Bumgarner note from the title as I’ve got to admit wondering what the need for 2 threads was myself. 

So the Price and Benintendi for scraps idea seems a bit more reasonable now?

How bad would Bumgarner and Keuchel be?

Probably pretty bad, no reason to do 2 multi year deals either.

Offer 6/180 for Strasburg.  7/225 for Cole.  Make it have a time limit if you want.  If nothing else you tried and cause others to up offers and hurt their flexibility.
