With the Rockies not having a GM and looking at the Arenado deal, they might have what it takes to pull it off. I'd be shocked if it happened though.

I never said that's what I would give up for him. I think Fraizer is over-performing this year when you include his whole career, but the guy is arguably one of the hotter trade chips this year. The Pirates would be stupid to not begin all conversations with top guys. For the Sox to get him, they are totally going to have to overpay. I'm perfectly fine with getting Escobar.

To even have a chance, I think you'd have to start with Crochet and Kelley if Vaughn is off the table.

Exactly.

Yermin absolutely the right call. This team needs guys with positional flexibility right now. Hopefully Yermin can figure it out, because he such a fun player to watch when he’s on.

First Locastro, now this. Arizona starting to blow it up.

I immediately thought Yermin. He's been struggling and offers little defensive value. Sheets at least can attempt RF and competent 1B. Would not surprise me one bit.

.187/.243/.254 with a .497 OPS

It was pretty obvious he had an issue with his hand or arm. Stone called it. He's been inconsistent as much as anyone in the bullpen, but I wouldn't put his implosion completely on his ability tonight.

And people said Josh Nelson had bad takes.

Would love to know it it’s just Escobar or if the Sox are trying to grab an arm too.

What an odd tweet from Bob. Would love to see something happen. This team needs a boost.

Thought the same thing. Very surprised to see Fry optioned.

I don't think Schwarber was ever a realistic option. This team needs a 2B and a RF. Schwarbs doesn't check either of those.

He’s nothing special. Royals let him walk, that should say all you really need to know.

It certainly makes a ton of sense on paper. Although with Nightengale leaking it, I can't help but wonder why the Sox intentionally want this info out there. They normally don't operate like that unless they are looking at an alternative option and trying to force their hand?

Adding Escobar would be a decent addition. Sox need some more thump in the lineup, especially down in the bottom of the order. He shouldn't cost all that much either, which is important because this team needs to add some arms for the bullpen too.

He gotta cut down on the strikeouts still for me. Currently at 37.7%

He only has 14 innings on the year. 1-2 good outings can even it all out.

Yep.

What a fun team. They are really taking to this Twins team so far this seaon! Don't stop now, keep stomping on them!

I believe he did, but do we really know where the tear is exactly?

I don’t believe he has the arm for it. He was drafted as a CF.

How are people convincing themselves that the Sox should trade depth away on a team that desperately lacks depth everywhere else. This is crazy talk about moving Vaughn or Eloy.

I wouldn't look at any of it seriously. Look at Spencer Torkelson - he's only 1 for 20. They just need to get back to playing every day. Judging these guys on 10 to 20 AB's isn't anything when they haven't face live competition in over a year. This minor league season is going to be very interesting for not just the Sox but all 30 teams.
