caulfield12 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Price with yet another disappointing performance in the post season. Doesn't augur well for Kershaw. For those hoping Dombrowski would come under pressure to make another big move, events are breaking on cue.

Boston has a good young core of position players at the MLB level with other coming up (Benintendi, I know hes already up and Moncada). This is why I think a deal for a controllable starter makes sense from their stand point. And its not like its for some guy. It's Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know that this makes them go for broke with a guy like Sale or Quintana as opposed to something a bit less expensive. Sale would be shutting out the Indians right now. Price is utter garbage especially in this year and the his career in the postseason. If people don't believe Sale pitches to the level of team he's on, that would be a huge mistake.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) This has to make you really appreciate how good MadBum is. He's so dominant in the postseason. As for the package for either Sale or Q. It's going to be the same and not going to be brought down because I called it months ago that Boston's SP isn't good enough and that Sale will be in Boston in 3 months. Moncada will absolutely be in the package for Sale. Benintendi will headline the Q one if Sale isn't dealt. I want Kopech and Devers in those deals as well.

soxforlife05 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 7, 2016 -> 05:37 PM) Yeah, I get it. I just don't know that this makes them go for broke with a guy like Sale or Quintana as opposed to something a bit less expensive. Mid level SP's wouldn't move the needle for them though. They need top flight starters like Sale that can get them big wins in a short postseason series. With Fernandez's passing I don't believe any aces will be on the market besides Sale. No aces in FA either. If Hahn is patient and holds firm he can clean out their system (Moncada, Benintendi, Kopech, Devers). The Red Sox will lose all the leverage they thought they had - it's make this deal or they will keep coming up short the next 2-3 years. They already tried making the patchwork fixes to their pitching staff this year and it's not working. The Red Sox and White Sox are too good of a match for this deal not to happen. Especially if the Indians sweep them on Sunday. Edited October 8, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan and media pressure in the Boston market makes it a lot harder for them to behave rationally. I think if they blow out in the first round, that will almost force them to make a major splash of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Boston so far has been an incredible disapointment. Would be funny to see the Indians go all the way. Last year it was the Royals, this year it could be the Indians. Next year, the Tigers. The following year the Twins, and then the White Sox will be ready to take over the game, what is that, year 2019. Not bad. Anyway, game is 2-0 indians in the 5th. Let's see if Boston can make a come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta give them a pass on Kluber as he's just really good but David Price? Yikes that guy absolutely blows in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
