Kimbrel's only surplus value should be just "deadline surging". Dude is on a market value deal. Trading legitimate prospects for him would be a terrible move.

If the Sox are giving up more prospects to save money at this point in time, I will lose my MF mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If the Sox get Kimbrel, they are serious about payroll the next few years. They don't add a relief pitcher with that price tag without it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrankinSox Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Since day 1, Kimbrel has been my #1 target that I wanted the Sox to target at the deadline. Make it happen, Rick!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed comptlely. Just responding to Balta's comment about Cubs eating $. I will lose alot of faith in this operation if the Sox were to ship (say) Crochet and Burger to the Cubs for Kimbrel and half his $ remaining (including next year).
