You can't deny that's likely going to happen since fewer teams are in the running because of the extension demand. 

Then you trade him in December when 29 teams are interested.  Shut him down in the meantime if you're worried about injury. Selling low is the absolute worst thing to do.

Since when did the Sox have to trade him today?

Jerry and Chris's hurt feelings over his extension demands.

If we move Crochet, 24 hours ago I would’ve told you we’d be getting a stupid haul. I have no faith in Getz to get a substantial haul however now. I’d guess it’s more like something along lines of Rushing and Outman as the main pieces with a lotto ticket as we throw in potentially a reliever or something. I’m 100% expecting to be disappointed.

The offer is prolly garbage because Elias is smelling blood in the water after the Fedde disaster. 

I bet Norby, Beavers for Crochet AND Banks. 

Dude is a shark circling his prey. 

 

Would be our worst nightmare and a cheery on top of this s%*# sandwich of a season if Getz blew a major trade like Crochet or Robert 

Unless you are getting a sky high, clear overpay of a return they should keep him. Force another club to really pony up if they want him. 

 

You certainly have to hold out for a good return, but don't get cute either. Crochet is really a ticking time bomb and Sox won't have as much leverage in the offseason. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good here.

Guess they really didn't want to give up Spencer Jones 

Not thrilled with Levine going out of his way to mention the Dodgers. 

 

some supposed NYY insider saying the yankees are indeed still going hard at Crochet, despite what Heyman is tweeting. 5000 followers but never heard of him:

Well when you take your two best prospects off the table, one of which is vastly overrated, you'll get that response.

That’s really on the other side of the trade to consider. Sox should absolutely be “cute” with this move.

Back in the day the Kansas City Athletics got labeled as being the Yankees farm system.

Yes, and their owner, Arnold Johnson, was thrown out of baseball. Probably after the Roger Maris gift package, but I'm not positive.

I am hoping and assuming we just don't want him.

Getz certainly doesn’t seem to have “perfect” as his compass. ?

Oh they definitely want him.  My guess would be something like Crochet and DeJong for Jones, Hampton and Pereira

That’s just a guess, but I can promise you the Sox are obsessed with Jones and value him way too much

Getz' MO to me so far seems to be targeting batters with good BB/K ratio's.  Everyone in the draft, the most recent trade, Zavala in the Cease trade.. Jones just is soo soo soo far away from that.

Perhaps the sox also signed DeJong thinking he was tall, realized he was normal, and have needed to go get the big boys.

I don’t put anything past these clowns - we gonna trade Crochet for season tickets to a clown show for all I know.

Spencer Jones couldn't have been drafted by a more perfect team than the yankees, has started to struggle, and it makes me incredibly nervous for the yankees to have "softened" on his value. Judge was an outlier, and maybe the yankees found out how to make all that work, but maybe judge is just...an outlier.

Or the Sox wanted a lot more than him.

This Spencer Jones stuff was all hype.  Saying he was off the table was just to hype him up for when they finally offered him up.  Lame.
