If it’s for Will Myers then I’m betting Chris Paddack is coming with him.  Not sure how I’d feel about that since Myers really doesn’t add to this roster at all.

They’re down on Paddack and Gore, but not THAT down…way too many pitchers coming off injuries like Darvish, Clevinger, Morejon and Lamet.  Weathers was a rookie last year and hit a workload wall.

Bellinger for Kimbrel? That seems a bit fantastical. 

Yeah.  Seems ridiculous to me.  Like maybe the Dodgers would throw in Buehler too.  Just for fun.

It's among the worst, but right in line with what they did at 2B. Forget the $1 million Kimbrel buyout, have him at $16 million, and trade him for a $21 million player projected to play to an under 1.0 fWAR.

Eh, I don't think Myers is below 1 WAR kind of bad. 

Kimbrel.

FOR.

KELENIC.

DO IT FOR HAROLD.

This would be outstanding.  I love Paddack.  Really I love most their SPs haha

Why would the Sox say RF and SP are our biggest priorities and then proceed to get financially tapped out before addressing either need?

The incompetence of the FO will never fail to surprise me. 

if i were to guess

Kimbrel for Bellinger (26)down year -.8 fWAR, similar price tag at 17M with one more year of control, left handed OF/1B
Kimbrel for Hanniger (31) 1 year of control right handed older and coming off injury horrid defender 
Kimbrel for Wil Myers(31) 1 year of control right handed with an option bad defense as well

Misdirection 

Or they were wrong in the market and had to adjust.

Harold might type in all caps for months if that happened.

I don't see Seattle trading Haniger. They don't really need bullpen help.

Yes, too bad they won't have a good team this year.

Pretty sure apart from last year, Haniger has been a fine defender

West Coast team? 

Well it won't be OAK. It's prolly not LAD (Lux would be so awesome), I doubt SD wants to blow their remaining cash on him, maybe SF or SEA? 

 

Seattle is intriguing, they have too many young promising OFs for available positions and could use bullpen help now that they're all in.

Is Sheets for Meadows a deal worth pondering? 

I would.

Both Myers and Upton bat right handed. I bet it’s Bellinger, Lux or Yastrzemski. The Dodgers may think Jansen is gone.

The Dodgers aren’t moving Lux for Kimbrel…ain’t happening.

Wil Myers is right handed.

Wil Myers wasn’t LH last time I checked…

Myers bats right handed, I do believe.

Rays are cheap, but they would never agree, instead pushing the aging/declining Kiermaier out.

Well, maybe he's been working on it this offseason.  You never know.

Justin Upton is absolutely washed. He has been horrendous, I don’t know why people are even bringing that up.

Sure, we can have Taylor Trammell if you can manage to fix his offensive game.  Defense is stellar, at least.

Does anybody know if Wil Meyers stands on the right side of home plate when he's batting? (if you are facing home plate from the pitcher's mound)

You can't seriously say what we've done so far this off-season and think they executed the plan they laid out when the off-season started.

Having Kiermaier, Robert and Engel would be the best defensive OF ever.  Holy cow.
