bmags Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 https://theathletic.com//202710/2018/01/04/...s/?redirected=1 In this, and don't ask me to send you screenshots, Rosenthal says Indians are still interested in moving salazar who has 3 years left. I've always loved salazar. I have no idea what a guy like him would require to get. He needs to get healthy, we get pitchers healthy (not named Rodon). Basically, I think yesterday was the most exciting thing that will happen before soxfest, so, yay or nay, would you give up anything for a 28 year old starting pitcher with 3 years left if his name is Danny Salazar.

Dunt Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I would be all for this depending on cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think being in the same division would make this cost-prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably buy him at his low point right now, right? I'd imagine Indians would be looking for big league help and they could likely use an OF. Would you do an Avi for Salazar deal? Hope to get Salazar right and if so either extend him or trade him. If Salazar got healthy and good, he'd probably bring back more than Avi in a deadline deal. I think if the price was prospects, I'd have to pass on anything in our top 10-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a deep affinity for pro ball player for pro ball player trades so the answer is yes. I feel better about flipping Salazar for prospects than Avi. Salazar could also end up being a new wade davis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if the Sox got him, I'd put him in the pen and let him have the 8th and then proceed to the 9th if he can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The kid has an absolutely live arm, though I don't think giving up real pieces for him is a good solution for where we are now. If we are going to do that, I would much rather have it be a position player than pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hasn’t he missed time in each of the past two seasons due to elbow issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofhahn Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 He's a good buy low guy. I think the problem is the Indians are close they are looking for immediate impact guys. I'm not sure you can swing a deal. Maybe you offer Garcia but is that enough? They need bullpen help more then anything. Don't see a matchup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Salazar is at his low point and Avi is at his high point I'd probably look for 1 more piece coming back, like whoever the Indians drafted in the 3rd round last year or something like that, but on paper that's a reasonable match. Gets us several years of control out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets us several years of control out of it. That makes sense - I'd probably do it straight up, but I obviously won't complain about another prospect. From the Indians perspective, not sure it makes 100% sense. They could use Salazar in the pen this season and then protect themselves in case one or both of Miller and Allen leave next offseason. They do need another bat in the OF though most likely and RH bat fits well with all the lefties they have - Brantley, Chisenhall, Almonte, Zimmer.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I've always found Salazar to be underrated. I'd love him on this team. But like everyone else here has stated, his value is hard to peg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I would do Avi for Salazar straight up in a heartbeat. I'd drive Avi to O'Hare myself if that was offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 This would be so amazing. I'm not holding my breath at all but imagine if the Sox got him, made him the closer, and he thrived? He's controllable through 2021 so his value would be through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Can't see him coming cheap, especially to a division rival. Pass. Edited January 8, 2018 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
