Rays discussing Joey Wendle in trades… any interest for second base? Good D… 3.8 fWAR… 

Most games played in his career at second. Left handed. 14 drs average per 162 at that position. Almost a .800 OPS vs RHP last year.

Not enough pop?

I thought about him at some point during last season. Wouldn't hate it for 2B to go along with Conforto in RF.

All this talk about Conforto, has anyone heard any rumors about him? Not just from the Sox perspective, but any team.

Padres aren't gonna sign anyone without getting rid of Hosmer. Phillies sign one of Conforto/Castellanos, then HOPEFULLY we sign the other lol.

True, I'm surprised they haven't spent more than they have so far.

He appears to have 2 full years of control remaining, which means for a decent player he won't come as cheap as you want. It doesn't involve Vaughn or Crochet, but it would likely involve a package of players going back since our system doesn't have that many strong players available. That said...good fit if they could make it work.

Here's the good news, a lot of our prospects are young and years from 40 man protection which is what rays would like.

I think the Marlins eventually up their offer for him too 

Offseason so far is about like a kid receiving Werther’s Originals from grandparents instead of virtually ANY other candy he actually wanted.

Let’s finalize one more signing or trade to ease on our minds during the lockout.

Bastards. I really liked the idea of having him. Looks like it’s simply a 1-1 deal with a prospect going back. Will like seeing who that prospect is.

This is more upsetting to me than not signing the other players we weren’t likely to sign anyway.

I’m pissed at this one but three things:

1.) Wait to see who the Marlins sent

2.) Wait to see what we end up with at second base

3.) Maybe the Rays didn’t want an AL contender getting better

 

Kris Bryant would fit this perfectly. Just as he would of at the trade deadline. Think he wants to stay west though and no way we beat any offers.
