Barstooldave hypothesized martes tucker paulino fisher stubbs Merkin replied no tucker People asked why He said he heard "astros were really high on tucker" That doesn't mean astros are refusing to trade tucker, it means that when throwing out proposed trades, merkin isn't guessing tucker himself because he's heard they like him a lot. That is what I saw but he added something different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con te Giolito Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Merkin did say he was just guessing about no Tucker. If that Archer rumor is correct they obviously are prepared to move him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he doesn't think Tucker would be in a deal due to the Astros thinking highly of him. Only the Sith talk in absolutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With deal A you're basically praying Bregman makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 @MikeSox56 I'm not saying it won't. Just saying I heard that Houston is very high on Tucker— Scott Merkin (@scottmerkin) January 6, 2017 I think we kinda moved past this but, again, merkin not saying Tucker would never be included, he was just participating in speculation.

beautox Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 04:10 PM) I'll repeat my polite request from a couple of weeks ago: if we're dealing Quintana to the Astros can we please include C Garrett Stubbs in the return? Rated highly defensively (former Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year), hit .325/.401/.517 at AA last year and is reasonably far enough down their prospects lists that you wouldn't think he'd be a deal-breaker. Thats the boat im in as well. Martes/Tucker/Paulino or Reed/Laureano/Stubbs, less "high end" more depth and floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Pretty evenly split on Trade A or Trade B. I'd go A, even though it's a 2-for-3 instead of a 1-for-5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I like the Bregman+ package for frazier/q because it fits our needs better. That gives us a potentially fully Allstar infield in a couple years with potential MVP candidates. We already have depth in our outfield and pitching prospects. Plus the ability to run after a Harper to fill an outfield gap. Or maybe we forego that route and go after machado to solidy the allstar infield and target Meadows with Q.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 If I felt like the Sox would make a serious run at Machado in a few years, I'd prefer them to get Meadows to lock down CF for the foreseeable future. However, I don't see that as a realistic possibility so I'm hoping they get Bregman and tank hard enough in 2017 to get Seth Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada could move to CF, while Bregman could go to second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
