southsider2k5 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 A deal like this might have some potential upside. It is probably too late in the season to fix and flip, but in general, this is a much better route than we have been in terms of neverceiling guys.

I mean let's be honest. They might say they want the Sox to be where players come to revive their careers, but in all honesty, right now it's the place they go when no one else wants them. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 What's obvious is they are scrambling to find arms to fill out a rotation when all these young guys inevitably need to get shut down. They still have a whole half of a season to get through and they are going to need someone to pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Syndergaard or the next parade of aging arms take some innings in a losing season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already had major injury problems, and are about to hit walls with most of the existing rotation in terms of career high innings outputs. Unless they want more surgeries, being careful now is a really good idea. Throwing someone off of the street to fill those innings is smarter than destroying careers. Look if we are going to go the LAD route of pitching guys until they are hurt, we are going to need a lot more arms anyway. Either way, we don't have enough depth, and never really did with anything but on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I agree that it will happen though. I can’t imagine Sosa having more value in a trade than his potential value if the Sox just play him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any vet that gets an offer should go for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
