BigHurt3515 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Half the league is so its no surprise but I doubt we give up enough for what they are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably more of a sign that we are in the catching market more than we are actively in on Realmuto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The only way I see this happening is if the Sox sign Harper and then decide to "go for it" next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) This would be the wrong place to allocate the remaining financial resources and, or prospects, after spending a fortune on Harper. Pitching, pitching and more pitching!!!! Edited December 7, 2018 by Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 As with the Grandal thread, if we're actually "in" on any of these catchers beyond just due diligence, it would be a big statement that this org doesn't believe they can develop Collins and a strong hint that we blew another first round pick in 2016.

Pitching, pitching and more pitching!!!! Agree. The Sox really can't start trading prospects because they don't know what they have yet.. Take CF - 3 good prospects, but they don't know which will be good (and their track record on evaluating such things isn't the best).

Dominikk85 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think the Sox try and see if they can low ball them. Let's say the Marlins do it for basabe, sheets and burdi of course you do it. It is unlikely but Marlins have done bad trades before. If they ask for eloy, cease or Robert you simply say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 As others said, its probably a check in to see what the asking price is in case we get Harper and decide to go for it. Who knows, maybe they really love one of our guys who we aren't as enamored with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Craig Mish hasn’t mentioned anything about the WSox being after him. He’s a great Marlins source. Yesterday he thought Braves were most likely winner. As I said in another thread, I wonder if the Sox would go after Flowers then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Really curious to see what the price for Relamuto will be. The Marlins have made some weird trades so who knows. I’d throw them an offer of something like Collins and Hansen just to have some skin in the game...I’m sure someone will offer more tho.
