According to Baseball Trade Values (100% accurate at all times), Keuchel for Hosmer, Paddack and Gore is a major overpay for the Sox. That contract is toooooooxic.

And pitchers are weird, he's likely awful. But yeah gonna be rough when they add Trevor Bauer. I'd love Bauer lol

April 4, 20224 yr 33 minutes ago, caulfield12 said: How much would the Dodgers have to pay as a subsidy for Sox fans to countenance that? I bet the number for tolerating Bauer would have ticked up considerably in the last 7-10 days. Might as well add Matt Harvey for more unimpeachable character guys. I’m not touching Bauer even if he was free. I get he wasn’t convicted of anything, but he’s got enough of a track record of general douchiness that I don’t want him in our clubhouse.

April 4, 20224 yr The Sox will likely win the division, even with what they have. The issue is depth to the front end of the rotation, to ensure that they have the starters needed in the Post Season. This roster has 4 guys who would likely be good enough to compete in the playoffs; Giolito, Lynn, Cease and Kopech. Lynn's health is critical and not very reliable, at this point. Kopech has the obstacle of needing to manage his work load. Therefore, adding the kinds of arms suggested, so far, only adds regular season depth, of which I am in favor. However, none of the names mentioned would be plausible candidates in the playoffs. Unfortunately, it appears that Hahn is going to have to part with someone, in order to land a #2, or #3 starter. Do any of you have a realistic suggestion to achieve that goal? Please make some feasible trade suggestions. Edited April 4, 20224 yr by Lillian

The Padres were willing to eat ~$30M of Hosmer’s contract, which would put his cash salary for us around $7.5M per year for the next four years. Paddock makes $2.3M this year. We could squeeze both in this year for roughly the same price as Manaea. Still not sure I’d do that deal though.

Let’s let the guys in the minors establish some value and get the right piece in the summer. Win the World Series= goal #1

Paddock makes $2.3M this year. We could squeeze both in this year for roughly the same price as Manaea. Still not sure I’d do that deal though. Paddack is a two-pitch pitcher (fastball, changeup.) No viable third pitch is why he's struggling. He needs to be converted to a reliever if he wants to stay in baseball. He's the Padres' version of Reynaldo. No way in hell are we taking on a bad contract for a reliever.

April 4, 20224 yr I'd easily take a flyer on Cueto, and give him a shot, if the price was right. Folks that think you're going to find a legit 2/3 as a FA, at this point in the year, are sorely mistaken.
April 4, 20224 yr The Twins were looking at Cueto and signed Archer instead. That either means you should want Cueto cause Minnesota's track record of picking up FA SPs has been terrible recently or Cueto looked so bad that Minnesota didn't even want him.
April 4, 20224 yr Johnny Cueto (36, 2.0) Brett Anderson (34, 1.5) Matt Harvey (33, 1.4) J.A. Happ (39, 1.1) Trevor Cahill (33, 0.9) Tommy Milone (35, 0.6) Mike Fiers (37, 0.3) José Ureña (30, 0.3) Cole Hamels (38, 0.1) Ervin Santana (39, 0.1) Scott Kazmir (38, -0.2) Jake Arrieta (36, -0.2) Tanner Roark (35, -0.7) Julio Teheran (31, -0.9) Mike Foltynewicz (30, -1.1) Félix Hernández (36, N/A) Those are your options, so yeah.....
April 4, 20224 yr 1 hour ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: no he would not. Gio - 1 Kopech - 2 Cease, can flip flop Kopech and Cease if you want - 3 DK - 4 (5.23 FIP and 0.6 WAR in 2021) ReyLo - 5 (4.19 FIP ans 0.7 WAR in 2021) So where would Cueto be slotting in at with his 4.05 FIP and 1.5 WAR in 2021........ Oh that's right 4th
