ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just now, fathom said: Heyward is the great defensive RF who can hit RHP they seek. His contract is awful but it offsets the price for Yu. If it offsets the price then the Sox shouldn’t have to give up Dunning. That’s my point. They can have Stiever and a couple other filler pieces.

I just don’t think Darvish is worth taking on Heyward’s contract too, then it truly limits you’re future spending and you’re all in on Kopech and Vaughn turning out to be stars... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvish has been light years better than Bauer over the course of his career. It's not even close. Jack you know something. ..... You seem to be hinting that this may be going down.

I know nothing. Ask others. Apparently this deal has been floating around all day online. It makes too much sense, depending on how much money is being eaten on Heyward's deal by the Cubs. If the Sox are on the hook for only 27M of Heyward's deal that's huge. That's 9M/year for solid D in RF and whatever you get from him offensively is gravy.

If you can get Darvish cheap via taking Heyward (with Cubs eating $$$), and can also pull off a Lance Lynn deal, the Sox are stacked going in to 2021. What would you be willing to give up for one year of lynn? I like your idea . I don't want to go all in either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Heyward would be an incredibly expensive strong side platoon option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I would rather sign a FA than trade for Lynn if we get Darvish. Giolito Darvish Keuchel Quintana Cease for 2020 and then Kopech Stiever and Crochet battling for 1-2 spots in ST 2021. Fuck yeah depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pederson at least carries a wRC+ over 100 (for the most part). Heywards beats him out in his defense, but that's about it. Even comparing their fWAR, Pederson has him beat. I think I'd take the HR potential of Pederson than Heywards speech-giving abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
