If they do potentially land Eaton, what do we do with De Aza, he should fetch something decent right?

 

Trade him for a catcher or 3B I assume

If the Sox had discussed Kendrick earlier, I am guessing he is a part of the discussions now too. The hold up is satisfying the difference in values. The Sox getting Kendrick and Eaton for Santiago alone would be stupid good value. Maybe they'll be able to kick Beckham over to LAA with either side kicking an additional smaller piece back to Arizona.

Or he's our 4th outfielder off the bench, which is better than Danks IMO.

Would love it if Hahn could swoop out Eaton and Davidson somehow

No way the Dbacks give up Davidson, Skaggs, AND Eaton for Trumbo. It's stupid enough to give up Skaggs and Eaton for him

All I did was answer the question.relax.

I agree man if RH was some how able to land Eaton and Kendrick for Santaigo (or Hector and another piece) I'd be giddy. We know the Jays have interest in Beckham. Maybe we trade him for some more "exciting" young players like KW mentioned.

How about sending De Aza to Dbacks for Davidson to fill the void in CF with Eaton leaving.

That could be what's going on now, talks of what the Sox send to AZ with Santiago.maybe an arm from the pen?

When it comes to a 4th outfielder, give me a $600,000 Danks over a $3,500,000 De Aza any day of the week.

De Aza on the bench? Viciedo only out slugs him by a small amount, career wise. Meanwhile ADA has him beat on ....handling LF, OBP, speed. And is a lefty bat.

They have Pollock

Not mad, there are lots of moving parts, we would just have to add in someone else. Get it done Hahn!

The other problem is that this makes DeAza essentially worthless...nobody's going to give up anything if they know we're going to be forced to trade him and Alejandro's salary's already going up to $4.5 million or so.

 

He's not really a bargain unless he's projected as a starting outfielder. On the bench, MEHHHH....someone might take him off our hands, but we'd get very little to nothing in return.

 

Definitely not the best way to maximize the return our trade pieces if all we get for DeAza and Santiago is Adam Eaton.

Bench players routinely make $3.5 million, and the Sox aren't forced to move him. This does to hurt De Aza's value that he hasn't already done himself.

 

I also have no idea where that $3.5 million value came from. He's going to be arbitration eligible for like the first time next year. I'm guessing he gets closer to $2-2.5 million, which, comparatively speaking, is a significant amount less.

I'm thinking maybe an arm from the pen is possible. Come on Hahn, we lost 99 games and its Xmas!

This would be a hilariously dumb trade for us straight up, but I have faith in Hahn.

Coming from KW, I'll take that with a huge grain of salt!

I love the people judging Eaton off of last year's stats. So meaningless. The kid missed the end of spring training and the first 100 games of the season, and people expect a rookie to come out of that in full stride? Personally, I'm surprised he lasted up in the bigs and scratched out a .250 average. Santiago for Eaton would be a great trade.

His elbow definitely is a scary situation. Many players have had this same issue and just a matter of time turns into Tommy John Surgery: Carl Crawford, Ardoylis Vizcanio, Colby Lewis, Brett Anderson, Casey Kelly. Those are players that come to my head just right now. I would stay away from Eaton, not a true CF. Reports tend to show he's more suited for LF. Davidson is a better fit. We have a huge hole at 3B.

It's been pretty obvious, IMO, that the Sox aren't as high on Santiago as a lot of us are.

If the DBacks are also getting 2 specs then I imagine 1 is from us, and we're getting something else back.

You're saying this off more than Eaton's 300 ML at-bats? Santiago is nice labor for the price but has anyone here honestly touted his ceiling..like at all?

include De Aza to replace Eaton and give us Davidson

Only one of those was a position player. You expect pitchers to eventually need the surgery because their entire job is to throw. On the contrary, the MRI for Eaton suggested that it had healed up.
