There really isn’t much it would make sense to trade Thorpe for, especially when the Sox could be on the verge of trading away two of their starters. If Thorpe isn’t untouchable, he’s probably the closest to having that status on this roster.
As far as your second question, I’m not sure but I doubt it matters much with cell phones, laptops, tablets, Teams/Zoom, etc. Getz should be able to analyze any potential trade and get feedback from the rest of his staff within a matter of minutes.
