November 25, 20214 yr I’ve really tried to talk myself into being cool with Segura, but the more I look into his numbers, I would have rather they just not picked up Kimbrel’s option if he’s the main piece. Also, for a guy with perceived attitude issues in the past, I wonder how much he’d like batting 9th.

Kingery makes $14M the next two years, so he’d actually represent a reduction in our return with his inclusion.

They would likely get better production with Kimbrel plus one of the lower priced 2B out there (Villar, Harrison, Iglesias, Cesar) than Segura plus a random $2M-$3M FA reliever. Kimbrel will likely bounce back now that he has a solid innings workload under his belt for the first time since 2018. Same with Keuchel. I believe they will keep one or both of the two, can see Keuchel vesting for 2023 as well. Far rather get Lux than another old overpriced veteran at the end of their career.

Pretty sure everyone would take lux, that’s unfortunately just not really our options.

I'd say it's the thought that counts....but that maybe makes those gifts sound even worse.
November 25, 20214 yr I don't believe MLB would allow the Sox to trade Kimbrel for any thing, I believe it has to be a who. The thread title is technically incorrect. I still can't wrap my head around the fact he can only close. Imagine if Hahn traded for a below average set up man and said he's going to be a Top 5 closer because there isn't enough pressure in the 8th.

Also, for a guy with perceived attitude issues in the past, I wonder how much he’d like batting 9th. Yeah It’s hard not knowing the broader view. I get annoyed when the board treats solid players like they are trash. Mainly, I’ve been grossed out by the defense of most of the options - and that’s what I liked about Segura. But I kinda think it’s Phil’s pushing Segura. So I do wonder if this can be a deal we shed Keuchel. Who knows.

We aren’t getting Lux for Kimbrel dude. And no way in hell do they let Keuchel’s option vest under any circumstance.

Well, if they expand the trade beyond just Kimbrel, it's within possible options. Dodgers are the only team able and willing to take on large $ contracts, at least with the current CBA "luxury" tax.

Moniak is pointless If PHI really wants Kimbrel we need to get a third team involved in the trade so that Chicago can actually get something useful as a return.

Alvarado, it should be...correcting the names from Phillies' list from previous post. Would honestly rather watch Leury for 145 games than Kingery, and that's saying something.

Maybe then go all in for Scherzer

November 25, 20214 yr i listening to MLB network while driving to GA. Billy Eppler, mets GM, said they would take on a contract to get a good prospect. So Keuchel & Burger for...?

So Keuchel & Burger for...? Depends on the CBA. If there was a $100 million payroll minimum hypothetically, then Keuchel might be movable without adding much. No minimum payroll but DH in the NL and that probably makes Keuchel and Burger enough to get rid of the full contract. Right now, Keuchel and Burger might be enough to get you partial relief from that contract.

Just sign Conforto and keep Andrew. He's our new Paulie. Even the Big Hurt eventually gave way, Jose isn't forever.
