I love Madrigal and think he’s going to be really good but I would do that trade for the reason you mentioned. It’s a lot easier to find a serviceable second baseman than a pitcher.

For better or worse, I feel like the Sox are going to get Bumgarner.

?????

What star SP would Cishek even be talking about?

Where would you move Rendon to? Second base? Then move Madrigal for a pitcher?

I'm really warming up to the idea of the Sox trading for either Sale or Price and getting Benintendi as a reward for taking on one of those big contracts. The Sox would then get a quality left handed starting pitcher as well as a promising young outfielder with several years of team control. It kills two birds with one stone. Sign me up for that.

The Bulls need to sign Billy Hamilton to play point guard.

Judging by only his headshot on Baseball Reference, he looks like he would be a really good player. He just has that look. That smile. That confidence.

Yeah, at least this debate can be put to rest.

Clinton Cole writes for FutureSox, and we all know his recent track record. I’m skeptical of all of them now.

People still think Bumgarner is as good as he was at his peak. He’s not. And these are the same people who would complain when he’s getting lit up in the AL. Overpaying for him out of desperation is one of the worst things the Sox could do right now.

Unbelievable how many meatball fans on Twitter want to give Bumgarner a huge contract.

Trade for Price and Benintendi maybe?

Can a mod combine the two Bumgarner threads? It’s kind of getting hard to follow

Let the Twins overpay for him. I’ll take Ryu and Castellanos.

?????

Holy hell is he insufferable

Watch Bumgarner sign with the Sox and become the next James Shields.

This team is such a disgrace. I don’t know why I get my hopes up about anything anymore.

Thanks for the response. If the money is equal, I don’t see why Wheeler would pick the Reds over the Sox. The Sox are in a much easier division and I’d have to think that Chicago is a more attractive destination than Cincinnati.

Gun to head, do you think the Sox will get Wheeler?

Good. Hopefully this moves them off of Wheeler, leaving it to the Sox and Reds for him.
