TheFutureIsNear Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Is Yohander Mendez, Andy Ibanez, Leoddy Taveras, + enough? I guess it depends what offers are/aren't out there, but I think I'd rather just wait until deadline if something like this is really the best offer.

shipps Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think this is good news considering it only puts the pressure on the teams out there that have been lurking and posturing the past couple months. The way to play it is to be quiet for a while and have teams comfortable and then out of nowhere have them scrambling a bit thinking its possible you may be getting close with another team. ***** I am fully aware this scenario is only playing out in my head, likely not what is actually happening******** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantl916 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Assuming there's no way Texas trades Odor, or perhaps Mazara, is there's a path to complete this without them? I'm pondering if something like Yeody Taveras, Yohender Mendez, Ronald Guzman and another piece would do it. seems really light to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnin' two Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 02:46 PM) Ugh. Pass. Texas doesn't have anything that interests me at all. I have to disagree. I would rather have Mazara as a centerpiece than pretty much anyone else mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) Mazara, Profar and Mendez enough? No. If Profar is part of the deal, it better be the last piece. Dude has less control than Q. Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I think if you accept a deal for Mazara, it would only come with 2 other pieces. Not saying that I'm against that but just throwing it out there. Edited February 1, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I really dont think Texas is a match. This is a time that it truly seems like a posturing move by the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Mazara, Gallo, Tavarez, Mendez. Worth noting that Mazara has 1.0 full year of service (seems silly the Rangers didn't wait an extra week). So he would only have 5 years on control, 2 of which would likely be blown on s***ty teams. By the time the Sox may be good again (2019), he'll be getting expensive. Edited February 1, 2017 by ChiSox59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) If the Sox want Mazara (if there is any truth to this rumor), I wonder if the Sox could package Melky along with some money with Quintana so the Rangers at least have a stop gap in the outfield for a year.

Bob Sacamano Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Dammit. A few sources on the Rangers side already shot this down. It makes sense that they would squish this rumor. They're trying to win now just like the Astros. That was fun for a whole 45 minutes. Edited February 1, 2017 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they wouldn't want the Astros to get Quintana. I'm saying that it's a leak on the Sox side hoping that the Astros bite. Rangers call them out since they don't want the Astros adding a pitcher of Q's caliber to help them win now which I guess is still a possible scenario regardless if they think the Rangers are involved or not.

Could also get the Astros to pay more as well, but in terms of next year, ya...Q obviously makes them better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 03:36 PM) This came from Offman first. It seems pretty clear the Sox leaked this locally, then nationally. Then Rangers media members placed calls to their sources with the Rangers, and it got shot down. It does show that clearly moving Q is still priority #1 right now. Yeah this does seem to be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shipps Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Doesnt a leak like this hurt them more than help since it was obvious that they made the s*** up to get another team to budge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
