The position of SP is what he's describing as being coveted, not necessarily a player who is coveted by the league in general. Can safely say he meant coveted as in the player is coveted by others
December 9, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, fathom said: Can safely say he meant coveted as in the player is coveted by others Could go either way, but I take it as the Sox coveting a starting pitcher are looking to trade for one. Like his other tweet, "Not able to speak to any specific targets but the quality of players the Sox have on the table speaks to the potential return," I don't take it to necessarily mean that the Sox have one of their top prospects on the table. All he says is that the potential return is proportional to the quality of the players you give in exchange. Nothing earth shattering about that! He doesn't speak to the quality of players the Sox are offering one way or the other.
December 9, 20196 yr I am guessing our big trade proposals for controllable starters would be something like these two options: A: Madrigal or Vaughn + Stievers + Dunning B: Lopez + Collins + Basabe ++ Option A gets you a #2 with Ace potential, option B is probably a #3 that could peak at #2. Who would take those and what would they give up?

Who would take those and what would they give up? I would much rather give up Lopez, Collins, and Basabe. I think the Sox will regret trading Stievers. He seems like one of those prospects that burst onto the scene. I wouldn't mind seeing what Madrigal + Lopez could fetch.
December 9, 20196 yr I think trading Madrigal would be a colossal mistake. I don’t really want to trade Vaughn either, but I’d already rather deal him than Madrigal. Nick is going to be special.

When payroll constraints are a thing...I think trading either of them is a colossal mistake. We should be signing guys like Stras or Cole, but we already have so many needs before trading either of those guys that we've ruled them out before even trying. The only way we have resources to fill those holes is to fill as many spots cheaply as we can.

Who would take those and what would they give up? Option B is fine. I want no part of Option A

I hope the Twins give him everything he wants.
