flavum Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 That's what I figured after Merkin's column and Brennan got dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Wouldn't surprise me if another minor deal happened today and Will Lamb got added. Late moves have happened before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 08:06 AM) Tomorrow (Friday) is the deadline for teams to add players to their 40-man rosters in order to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft. Here's a look at who is currently exposed that may need protection, and who is already on-roster that could go. What the Sox do Friday could perhaps be an indicator of direction for the offseason. Thanks for the analysis. For sure Delmonico, May and Engel need to be protected. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) Pisses me off that we traded that kid for Tommy Kahnle He was a legit, although low minors, pitching prospect. Traded him for another cooper fix 'em project. Edited November 18, 2016 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 10:16 AM) Yes, but would you really care? The chances of these guys being impact players is beyond small. They won't get you anything in a trade, and are easy to replace with something similar, especially if they are rebuilding. A team that spent $3 million on Bonifacio should make the effort to protect a utility infielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 18, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) Wouldn't surprise me if another minor deal happened today and Will Lamb got added. Late moves have happened before. Possible, but in the next hour? Lamb becomes the biggest draft risk, with Delmonico behind him some distance, then a list of really-not-likely guys. It seems the Sox like Purke better than Lamb as a left reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the deadline is 7pm. Unlikely anything happens, but never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I saw Rays released John Lamb. Would be interested in converting hkm to a lefty reliever. Sign him to a minor league deal so it doesn't affeft the 40 man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 They have a lot of the same type of these AAA/AAAA relievers on the 40 man. Seems they could have squeezed in Delmonico. Purke, Blake Smith Soto....all LH AAA relievers kind of like Lamb. What about Avi? Isn't he hitting arb? sox keeping him around? I guess they just as soon do so if they rebuild.
