Kershaw wants Puig off the Dodgers?

Not sure the Sox have much to offer that the Dodgers need, which is pitching. Take Sale, Q and Rodon out of the mix and its difficult to see a matchup.

 

then have the sox Beck, and Nolan Sanburn for him, if they say no.... then screw it.

In 2013 and 2014 Puig was a top 5 hitter in the league. The lowest they MIGHT go is something like EJ, Micah, and Montas.

The Dodgers are looking for a pitcher to potentially take Grienke's spot in the rotation so I'd bet they want something just a bit better and more proven than Beck/Sanburn. Look at the Dodgers farm, Beck and Sanburn wouldn't be tempting in the least bit for the Dodgers.

And he is only 3 months older than Trayce Thompson.

Gotcha, were on the same page.

 

I'm hoping the Sox are more focused on 3B and SS. Not that an upgrade in RF wouldn't be nice...

Gomes is a reliever. :)

Renato Bermudez of ESPN Deportes reports that Yasiel Puig was recently involved in a fight with a security guard at a Miami nightclub.

Details on the altercation are limited at this point, but Puig reportedly came away from the fight with a bruise on his face. We'll surely find out more about the incident before long, but it's certainly not a good look for Puig, who has his detractors in and out of the organization due to attitude issues. He was limited to just 79 games this season because of injury.

:lol:

 

The Puig clown show continues. f*** Puig and his entourage of bulls***. Glad the Dodgers are his baby sitter.

He may have issues but I remember when Miguel Cabrera had issues as well. Not the same level of talent there but still. Problems now doesn't mean the guy can never mature.

maybe this will finally kill the sox puig trade ideas.

thanks for that info. :D

 

but i look at his profiles of 3 solid pitches and a weak 4th. that is starter stuff.

 

but maybe he will be a newer, younger carroll for the long relief and maybe a spot starter. i still have concerns on an injury next yr for sp's.

 

now that paranoia personality is on me, i always want backups.

I would inquire to see what the Dodgers would want. His value would seem to be low given his recent injuries and off the field issues. If we could get him on the cheap could be worth the risk

Dodgers aren't gonna move him when he's being investigated by the dang league.

Literally only way I'd take him now is if he was just given to us.

Well the good news is, we didn't go after him aggressively and then have something like that happen.

I could argue Puig has more talent because he can be an impact defender to go along with being an impact bat. Both were terrific early in their careers with Puig's only down offensive season being in an injury prone 3rd year. This is a talent and I'd love it if the Sox bought low for once, however, I'm also not that up to speed in what just happened (off the field).

 

Sounds like the guy truly is a mess though.

Nah, he just needs to be tested for antipsychotic's to make sure he is taking them. Which I don't believe he is...

Olney podcast discusses Puig to W.Sox and suggests any Puig deals are more likely to be around ST if they happen at all

 

There's a little Frazier/W.Sox mention too
