Leury and Engel both hit LHP better than right.

This. Walker could have been a super nice 2nd or 3rd piece in a bigger deal. It’s whatever. But unless we’re moving Collins in a deal, or offense is pretty much set and we could still use another nice bat.

Just don’t understand the urgency to make this particular move right now.

Blehhhhhhh.

Wish Angels got him.

Dude, step away.

Give the man his props! You’re always welcome on the bandwagon! I’ll have to look tomorrow when I get in front of a computer my first mention of Nimmo - Not sure of June 6 has me beat, but it may! Seriously tho - Nimmo is the perfect fit. If working directly with the Mets, maybe taking Lowrie off their hands would help.

I hear ya. Still prefer him assuming a reasonable return for his valid, minimal future commitment and retained financial and positional flexibility to signing either Castellanos or Ozuna. I am not making this Mazara move in mid December tho.

Lol 4 people in 5 seconds

thankfully seems like this isn’t done yet, and other teams in the mix.

I hope this doesn’t happen. I don’t absolutely hate it if the return is minimal, but it’s just such a bleh move.

Just sign Ryu.

? @Chicago White Sox my partner on the original Grandal + Nimmo bandwagon, We still got a shot buddy!

They could afford to fuck around with Collins at catcher then. I will say this - if Collins bat sticks and he can be a passable MLb catcher, that is one hell of an asset.

Obviously not, but he’s gonna cost a lot more than Walker. Maybe that three way with the Pirates where the Sox give up Stiever + Collins + Walker. I’d do that for Nimmo, who has been my guy for months but lost faith Mets would move him. Pirates do want that catcher. Then DH opens for a cheap 1 year masher like EE and all of sudden you got a good looking offense.

You and me both @raBBit!

Make the pivot, Rick.

That'd be interesting

Extra catcher. Sox will carry 3 catchers, as will several other teams I imagine.

He mashes RH pitching instead of LH pitching. Better platoon partner for Leury/Engel.

The Phillies are a couple years ahead of the Sox in the process.

Any updates from Frank Castillo? lol

Because Price's contract is about -$50M in value.

Lol, I think this happens all the time man. Maybe not the leaks themselves, but FO feed BS to reporters all the time. Not saying that is what is happening here necessarily, but it happens.

Becuase of an emjoi? Or has he said more?
