Rey21 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 What would a Rangers package potentially look like for Luis Robert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Dodgers' fans definitely speculating he would be the perfect fit over there...depending on prospect capital surrender. They get to watch him on a daily basis in Glendale...after all. And they really don't have a clear CF right now...really looks like Edman will play second.

He looks healthy and that's all that matters. If he's healthy, production will be there. Even when he came back last year he never looked right imo.

I would have a pretty radical rest plan for him as it's the only thing that really matters, certainly more important than having him hit a game winning HR or something. I'd start him three days a week in the OF and twice at DH and let him rest the other two. It will never happen but if this org really was serious about maximizing the chance of a quick(ish) rebuild it would be implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I have no idea if this guy has any contacts, whatsoever...

Bob Sacamano Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Idk I just don’t think anything he does or anyway he looks during Spring Training is going to move the needle on a trade (outside of another team having injuries and Sox coming down on price) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody who was ready to pull the trigger on a deal, but an owner advised them to make sure he's healthy. I'm making all of this up, of course.

They could probably get Acuna or Baty or whoever for taking on the Marte contract...and we actually need another outfielder, in all likelihood, but that will never happen if JR's still calling the shots. He'll more than likely be happy to get some 80-120 range MiLB prospect back for Robert...just for the cost savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure it makes a huge amount of difference by waiting. It would take more time than the Sox have to pump up his value to where we would be satisfied. In a different era where teams weren’t holding onto prospects, there could be more upside to waiting. We should just make our peace with the idea that we aren’t going to get what we’re looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was only part of the fear with Cease. They weren't getting great offers on him because of his down year so , to me, it was more the chance of him being the 2023 version than the 2022 version. When you're trading for a top of rotation pitcher you make decent offers. If you're trading for a #4 guy with a 2nd place finish in the recent rear view mirror your offers are a lot less. If you hold him and he still pitches like the #4 guy that 2022 season is even farther in the rear view mirror and offers get worse.

Bob Sacamano Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Looking into the Mariners projected lineup, unless they are bumping a guy they just extended to the bench (Robles) which they could do, trade 2 years of Arozarena to move some money, and want to play Robert in a corner, the Mariners don't really seem like a fit.
