fathom Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 1 hour ago, ChiSox59 said: Something like Woo + Montes + Clase doable? Montes is pretty intriguing. I feel like the Sox would prefer an OF closer to the majors. Gabriel Gonzaelez just feels like more of what we have so I'd prefer he not be a major part of the trade. I would certainly take him over Clase in the proposed deal, but that feels pretty heavy with the Woo headliner. That deal would be great, but seems way too heavy on the Mariners side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo seems likely to be more valuable over the years than Kjerstad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Is it weird that I would prefer not so much of the value in a return be tied up in the pitching piece? IE Woo? If dealing with the Mariners I'd really like to pry into that bucket of Young/Emerson/Ford somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dealing with the Mariners I'd really like to pry into that bucket of Young/Emerson/Ford somehow. I don't think it's weird at all. I think people are underestimating the value of a major league ready starter with 6 years of control. That's a nice get, but you won't receive much more along with him. I also don't think adding another starter is really Seattle's area of need though, so I doubt any of their top positional prospects are on the table.

I just really want the Sox to get a legitimate LH OF bat from this trade. We damn well know they aren't going to sign one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but it's a waste of money for a cost conscious team. Not sue what Whit gives them over their current UT/platoon guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the Mariners would consider trading him, but Colt Emerson would absolutely be who I would target in a trade. He could break out in a big way in 2024.

No idea if it’s Cease. FWIW, just scrolling through M's twitter/message board, they think a trade is likely happening, but don't know what. They seem as puzzled my the Mariner's supposed interest in Cease as some of us are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Nothing about a Cease for Miller or Woo plus more makes any sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M's trading prospects for Cease then moving Woo or Miller for bats (separate or as a 3 way) is really the only thing that makes sense to me. Trading 6 years of control for 2 years of Cease simply doesn't. Edited January 29 by Tnetennba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
