I like the idea of McHugh as a swingman. The Sox will have a lot of starting pitching options once Kopech and Rodon come back but you can never have too much pitching. And since Keuchel was his former teammate, McHugh might want to come here.

I’ll take Encarnacion and Betances

People on Twitter are saying the Sox overpaid, but I like it a lot. 3/54 is fair to me I think.

LET"S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don’t know what to make of this.

That is so sick. Congrats man!

Color me skeptical. If Keuchel really agreed to a deal with the Sox, you’d think one of the big name reporters would have some info on it.

Don’t know if it’s realistic or not, but if the Sox could get Price for like 3/60 after Boston eats some of his contract while still getting Benintendi, I’d be all over that assuming Madrigal/Vaughn aren’t in the deal.

Cole and Sale (if he’s healthy)

Look at the last sentence. Does he know something?

Um...because it would be silly to burn a year of team control for like 2 weeks worth of games for Robert/Madrigal, and in Kopech’s case, it makes sense to start him of slowly in the minors considering he’s coming off a major surgery.

If the Sox were going to trade Madrigal/Vaughn, don’t you think it would be a much better idea to trade them for a cost controlled starting pitcher instead of a 3rd baseman on a huge contract, especially considering the Sox already have a star 3rd baseman making pennies?

They should’ve just signed Rendon if they wanted an impact bat.

Anderson is under cheap team control for a long, long time. That matters to a team like Cleveland. And they could sell the trade to their fans by saying they just acquired the AL batting champ while getting some prospects in the process. But it only makes sense for the Sox if Lindor signs an extension.

Not that it will ever happen, but Anderson + a couple smaller pieces for Lindor (if he signs an extension) would be interesting. Lindor would replace Anderson at SS and the Sox could keep Madrigal at 2B.

What would a Lindor extension even look like? 8/240?

At this point, you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining. Gio Gonzalez is a lot better than the Covey’s and Despaigne’s of the world. This is a big upgrade for the Sox.

This has to be a 1 year deal right?

I think he probably means Matthew Thompson, the Sox 2019 2nd rounder. But if Sheets and Thompson is all it takes for Lindor, sign me the hell up.

LET’S GO!

Since we all love fake rumors, here’s something to talk about.
