Robert for Lux/Outman would be the suggested trade...which I still don't like that much.

At this point, rolling the dice and holding him makes more sense.

Getz would be a moron to accept such a trade over prospects for Robert.  Let’s hope he isn’t that clueless.

They won’t be interested in Lux or Outman… unless the new shiny player development folk believe they can turn them both around… maximize their tools… and then have two high performing assets to trade instead of one.

Fat chance.

The most recent podcast with Garfien explicitly stated that Boston’s existing MLB talent like Abreu was never even a consideration.

We’re not even to Christmas yet and we’re already out of things to talk about… Our toxic collective addiction to this team drives endlessly discussing pointless drivel.

My name is Trevor and I am a Soxtalk Addict. Where’s the inpatient clinic and residential detox program?

TLDR: poop.

The org can't think this way but it's delusional to believe the Sox could unlock something with a guy like Lux or Outman that the Dodgers could not.

Hi, Miguel Vargas.

Hi, Miguel Vargas.

“Fat chance” clearly implies that even this bottom of the barrel organization will not dig deeper to this level of incompetent “logic”.

Soxtalk needs to turn into Around the Horn until at least Spring Training… otherwise we’re going to continue blabbering on about complete horseshit.

I clearly am in a wonderful mood. Horary!

I want Robert gone. However, if that is the trade then I wouldn't do it

Speculation that the new Reds' TV deal could lead to more moves. Obviously, not set in stone that they will but I'm bored so let's goooooo.

Good. Go get Arroyo....eat 5m of Robert's salary to enhance the return....that will still result in a net savings of 10m for Jerry.

Apparently, the Reds were talking Robert trade up until they signed Hays.

Quote

The teams could not find a middle ground on players or dollars, prompting the Reds to turn to Hays on a one-year, $5 million contract, pending a physical, according to sources briefed on the discussions.

The teams did not resolve how much of Robert’s salary the White Sox would have paid, sources said. Reds infield prospect Edwin Arroyo, who missed all of last season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, was one player under discussion. But ultimately, the Reds could not get comfortable with the total cost.

I'm still hoping during spring training a team decides they're a bat short and offers something decent for him.

Guess you don't have much faith that he'll have a strong , healthy 1st half.

I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that way. He's been consistently injured and may have caught whatever it was that led to the Great Demise that plagued Anderson, Jimenez, Moncada, Benintendi, and Vaughn ( not that he was actually ever any good ).

The Sox seem to view Robert as a salary dump?  Awesome.

Looks like they were targeting exactly who many of us were hoping for so that's good. 

It's frustrating that they are hung up on eating money when payroll is only in the 60 millions or so. Fucking Jerry.
