And ask about Hendricks while talking to the Cubs. There's not much out there that isn't super expensive. If I had to choose between Cease and Dunning as the centerpiece, I think I'm going Cease. Cease+filler(Sheets, Burger, Adolfo, Rutherford type guys, maybe 2 of them) for Gallo and Lynn? Who says no? I don't want to, but that solves a bunch of problems with one deal.

I mean, yeah if you ask about Darvish or Hendricks, you're going to pay a lot. That's ok. It's time for the Sox to take a swing for the fences.

Vulture Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Quintana looked really good the couple times I saw him pitch in '20. Granted, he only pitched something like 12 innings all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they're just taking advantage of the "Winter meetings" to try to drive in more traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Q is still much, much better than Gio Gonzalez. Gio Gonzalez has to throw 45 pitches just to get out of bed in the morning. At least "lesser" Q can still easily work into the 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Chris Young would get off to quite the start by unloading their two best trade chips for players we, as fans, don’t mind giving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'd much rather just wait til next week when the Phillies owner is having a temper tantrum and makes Harper and Wheeler available again. Gallo is... not enticing. And Lynn really isn't either. IMO, sign Adam Eaton and Dahl, give up no prospects, and that is a whole lot better than Gallo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I’m stunned people want Eaton back. He was hated by his teammates here and he’s a member of the “Yoan Moncada limp every time you run hard” club. His defense has been quite poor lately as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really want two light hitting outfielders (Engel and Eaton) playing right field? I'm not sure I want Heyward in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
