I guess if Rodon gets and rejects the QO then I'd do it because the picks even out, but I don't like giving up draft picks. They're really valuable.

This team is competing, not rebuilding. To hell with worry about losing draft picks. Sign players to win now.

I don’t see how it tracks that they are okay picking up a Kimbrel option in order to trade but they wouldn’t do same with Rodon even if they didn’t want to keep him.

Its a one year deal. Guys like Smyly were getting 11 last year on a lot less results the previous year. I don’t see an issue moving that.

Can’t trade Rodon until June if he accepts the QO without his consent.

Rodon was one of the best pitchers in baseball. Not enough innings but he was worth 5 fWAR. Are we just assuming that Kopech replicates that because I’m certainly not. 

Rodon was awesome. But the Sox need someone that will be awesome in October more so than May and June. Does anyone feel confident that will happen with him?

And for Kopech, no...you have to look at him as a #4 and consider anything beyond that a bonus.  

I've been saying since the Sox were eliminated that they need to work on acquiring a TOR starter or starter with TOR potential soon, and if you need to dangle Andrew Vaughn  towards that, then you consider that IMO.

  • Nick Castellanos, Reds
  • Michael Conforto, Mets
  • Freddie Freeman, Braves
  • Robbie Ray, Blue Jays
  • Corey Seager, Dodgers
  • Marcus Semien, Blue Jays
  • Trevor Story, Rockies
  • Noah Syndergaard, Mets

Other players that could receive one:

Less than three hours to go!  The longer this drags, the less convinced they will QO Rodon.

Hahn already said at his presser that they want Rodon but will see how his market plays out. Doesn't sound like he will get the QO if that is indeed true, because I think he'd accept it. 

I kind of read it the same way, but Hahn speaks lawyer so hard to be too certain about anything he says.
