Wanne Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 doubtful...as the "all in" approach will continue next year also. Plus...you won't get the return you'd need for either guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine there'd be a substantial return deserved for either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgers pen has been ridiculous this year, don't think they need Robertson. I wouldn't be surprised to see a team take Robertson with a decent return. Outside of the 3 games where we was either on extreme rest and the game he came in in a non save situation he really hasn't been THAT bad. I know it's cherry picking but when you take out those 3 games he has something like.a 1.64 ERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 (edited) Melky could help a team a lot, I think a deal could be struck with him. Edited August 28, 2016 by Soxfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should get a solid prospect for each. but if they were going to do this, they should have done it well before now. But what's the waiver situation on them?

GGajewski18 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Anyone think we can get Conforto for Melky? Mets need an OF and the Mets refuse to call Conforto back up even though he's their best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mets need an OF and the Mets refuse to call Conforto back up even though he's their best option. The Mets front office should be put into an asylum if they made that trade. Another one the Sox should move, if they want to move these guys, is Avilia. He's a good catcher when healthy. I'd sign him long term, if he could stay off of the DL. If the Sox are "going for it" in 2017, they shouldn't move any of these guys on contracts beyond 2016, except Lawrie, and they can't move him now.

If they didn't trade him at deadline they sure as hell wont trade him now...same with Robertson. I don't have a problem trading Robertson at all...in the off season...but IMO it seems ridiculous to trade one of the better hitters on your team right now for basically nothing. But then again...this is the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a pleasure watching him hit and throw out runners this year plus he is a character. When's he's playing poorly a "character" becomes a " clown " on Soxtalk.

Yep. He was terrible last year and not just offensively. I'd rather not wait till his value drops again. Now I will say this, deal him in the offseason, not now.

There's no point in doing that unless Sale or Q are being traded and we are starting a long rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Just read Yankees have been aggressive on the waiver wire. I'd bet any money they'd place a claim on Robertson.
