BlackSox13 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) Even better. Takes away an option for the Tigers to move Verlander. Exactly. I'm really hoping the tigers end up stuck with that contract. I forget who the board member is but someone posted this morning about how the tigers next rebuild will be with a bunch of other teams and how the timing of the Sox rebuild was perfect since there's few teams in the AL currently rebuilding. Excellent points made by that Soxtalk member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent points made by that Soxtalk member. Plus the Tigers have a big problem in that all of their best players have gigantic contracts or aren't cost controlled.

witesoxfan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 QUOTE (FT35 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 01:59 PM) Watch...Darvish to Milwaukee...LOL Unless they get him fairly cheap, I don't see it. The Brewers aren't far enough along to buy big on a half-season investment. Sonny Gray still makes some sense for them, but Darvish is gone after this year and if the Brewers come down to earth a bit and the Cubs start playing well, they're hoping and praying for a shot at a play-in game. That's not worth losing a prospect. The Royals would make sense for Darvish though. They are probably going to have one last hurrah before they are forced to rebuild, regardless of their willingness.

Who can the Royals trade for Darvish though? He'll command a pretty good return and the Royals don't really have anybody to trade. The Rangers could do better.

Yeah, you're right, I was just spitballing a team that could have interest in Darvish.

Yeah but they do have a history of adding the big arm via trade when they are in the hunt--Sabathia and Grienke come to mind. I don't think they're gun shy when it comes to using their prospects. Would be strange to see Brinson heading BACK to TEX though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like 80% sure he was talking about Sandoval. If he was, our payroll is going to be so low next 2 years, I would strongly consider it if the Red Sox would send a few prospects to make it worth our while.

Dangerous game to play there. But I suppose a Panda + Groome + 20M for Frazier may be of interest to the Sox, but doubt the Red Sox are interested in giving up Groome to save $30M over the next 2.5 years.
