You're right, he should save it for the REAL insiders with less direct communication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It’s amazing how guys like Heyman, Morosi, etc. have input from sources on moves that teams are making but Steve Stone would not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No team would give up 6 years of a top catching prospect for a reliever when there are plenty to sign for chump change. Depends on what the team thinks of said catching prospect. They know more about him than anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Madrigal is being held down for service time reasons, that’s like two weeks. I think Leury and Mendick can manage that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Leury and Mendick can manage that. Personally I doubt he'll be here in that short of time. People forget Madrigal's numbers in AAA were solid but that last game of the season when he went 5-5 kinda skewed his overall stats. I think he'll need a bit more time than 2 weeks. Now Robert on the other hand is a different case. Plus Frazier does play the OF too FYI. Edited December 29, 2019 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Zack has limited trade value right, but giving him up for a reliever with one year of control (plus questionable character) would be terrible. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see us trading prospects for a one year stop gap, but I could see the Sox trading McCann for one if it’s the right reliever. Maybe that’s not Kela though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why Collins might not have a fit on the roster, but I still want him DHing against RHP even with Encarnacion. For Kela, I would not give up Collins. I'd give up an A ball player. I don't think Kela would require much in trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 FA Options: Craig Stammen, Daniel Hudson, Colin McHugh, Tony Cingrani, Steve Cishek, Will Harris, Nate Jones (I bet Sox sign him to MILB deal), Arodys Vizcaino Trade Options: Keone Kela, Michael Givens, Ian Kennedy, Ken Giles, Bryan Shaw, Jarlin Garcia, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 29, 2019 Author Share Posted December 29, 2019 Kela would be a one year rental, I don’t think it makes much sense to trade for him. Same goes for Giles. I would rather just sign a guy like Hudson or Harris personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...just sign Holt to a 2/$8M deal vs trading something extra for two years of Adam Frazier. Also, I could see Mychal Givens being a guy that’s both available and someone we’d be interested. I’ll predict we trade one of OF prospects for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
