I'd understand why they wouldn't, but to me it seems like they're the team that would care about handedness in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their top SP target is either Bumgarner or Keuchel. OR 1b. They hate the SP market completely and would rather trade for upgrades there. 2. Lopez, Dunning or both are on the block How would everyone feel if the upgrades this winter were: SP-Bundy, Keuchel RF-Mancini C- Grandal ? If all it takes is Sheets, Rutherford, and Flores to get Bundy and Mancini, I would do that in a heartbeat. I don’t care that much about Bundy, but Mancini would be a fantastic acquisition for RF.

If they would do that deal, I'm pretty sure that Hahn would take it, in a heart beat. I don't care if Mancini bats RH. He hits RH pitching very well. Seems like Flores may have a inkling he's at least being dangled if not involved in a pending trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get that out of Castellanos for just money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those guys were all it took, we'd be paying Mancini something like $22 million over the next 3 years compared to what, $50 million over 4 years for Castellanos, and getting a 5th starter candidate out of it? So we'd effectively be turning Sheets, Rutherford, and Flores into $20+ million in savings and getting that 5th starter covered for $5 million? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Fairly lukewarm on this if Sox are ainvolved. If the price is really just Sheets, it'd be whatever to me. There are definitely worse options than Bundy, but just don't see the point in using trade capital when there are similar arms of the FA market for only slightly more AAV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Bundy would be interesting with Grandal. Orioles catching as a whole was one of the worst in the league in pitch framing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 He's just not good. No idea why they would be looking to him when there are better shitty pitchers available. It would have to include Mancini and that's not even really exciting. I just feel like the limited tradable assets we have could be put to better use than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People thought you were crazy for the suggested package going to the O's... Andrew Vaughn Blake Rutherford Carlos Rodon Luis Basabe Konnor Pilkington No way I'm including Vaughn in a deal for them. And probably not Rodon either because he has a chance to rebuild value and this would be selling him at his lowest, which is dumb. EDIT: And if you are some sort of insider and heard this package bandied about, the Sox are gonna have quite a few PO'd fans should this deal go through. It does agree with raBBits post about the asking price being too high though. Edited November 28, 2019 by South Sider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackDoorBreach Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I just don't get what other player we would even want if it wasn't Mancini. This is all speculative obviously. Some random RP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
