Minor leaguers for minor leaguers can still be traded. Corey Knebel has 6 scoreless appearances for AAA.  Enough big league experience that I could see a team taking a chance especially if he continues looking ok and/or a team has an injury. Probably only a flier prospect but.

This just made me look at other guys we have at Charlotte. Forgot we still had Deivi Garcia. All I can say after looking at his season is: "yikes"

I did not know that

Sox just released Knebel.  So much for that. 

Looks like Knebel elected free agency.  Probably had an out in his contract related to the trade deadline.  If he wasn't in MLB, he could be a FA and catch on with another team.  Imagine someone might give him a chance.  

So for everyone freaking out that the Sox didn’t accept the rumored Twins trade offer that included Keaschall… maybe there was more to it https://t.co/91uOKffWml

This kid hit the cover off the ball, even with elbow issues?  Makes me want him even more, and the TJ surgery just ensures that he matches the Sox timeline to competitiveness better, since next year and likely more seasons will be a losing effort.

If Vargas even pans out, how many years of control will the Sox have left on him by the time they are able to surround him without enough talent for the team to win?

Brock Burke was dfa by the Rangers and they should absolutely put a claim in for him. He's going thru a rough stretch or else he wouldn't have been dfa but he's been good recently and he's only 27 yrs old.  Bannister seems to be good with big lefties.
