Who even fits into that category though? Micker will most likely have to go to a team that is rebuilding and those kind of teams wouldn’t trade those kind of pitchers away.
If there was a 2016 Chris Sale out there, then yeah I would trade Vaughn as part of a package. Problem is that guy doesn’t exist right now. Certainly not trading him for 2 years of Montas. That would be awful.
So we all know the Sox have interest in Manaea, but they might need even more if Lynn is out for awhile. Any other decent starting pitchers available? Maybe John Means? Thought I would start a thread for discussion purposes.
