Cole Irvin and Erik Miller would be a very nice package. At this point I feel like the sox need proven pitching more than anything else. Not as concerned with filling the coffers below, and just hope players like thompson, dalquist, and stiever can move up the ladder. And getting the best player back can always be used as a piece for better pitching later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm just curious to see how much they want to move that staff around. Doesn't seem like they want to do a whole lot of shuffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I see a deal between the two teams that would make sense. Definitely on Yates, but he’s also got one more year of control, and will be a “lesser abused” 33 years old in terms of wear and tear next season. Urias...but you’re selling for 50 cents on the dollar. The biggest issue is you have a logjam of similar players in Renfroe, Reyes, Myers (bad contract) and Franchy Cordero and Naylor who are blocked for playing time but have lots of talent. Margot is the only one who really can defend CF, so he’s stuck there until they can figure out a replacement. They will undoubtedly trade the excess for one high quality veteran pitcher while waiting on a handful of young pitchers to separate themselves....rotation, bullpen or trade. Also have Garrett Richards coming back from TJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Vargas is an ancient starting pitcher and the return is a AAAA fodder catcher. I doubt that trade has anything to do with pursuit of Colome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baker Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Would the Sox be willing to take on McCutchen’ contract from the Phillies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can soak in some contract relief specifically for this year and maybe next, but 3 years of a player who may not be the same after the ACL/aging curve is a lot to ask. If you trade for mccutchen you are saying that's your RF of next 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxnfins Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Yeah, because Jason Friggen Vargas is going to save the Phillies & end their pursuit of Colome. And I'm the CEO of BMW. GMAFB Edited July 29, 2019 by Soxnfins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my first one, a 16 340xi B58 I6 from Knauz last month (almost 2 months ago now), I absolutely love it. Went from a Jetta to a 340, almost bought a 435 N55 I6.... Even getting 27 when I hammer that B58. Knock on whatever this is, the 6 cyl is their bread and butter.... Just be sure to have a "guy" on standby lol.
