This whole thing is bizarre. Probably because he doesn't think Kimbrel is worth anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LH bat that can play 2B or OF. Coming off a down/injury plagued year though. But I could see Kimbrel being a splash piece Cohen and the Mets want to go after Yeah…even if the NL gets the DH, they have Dom Smith for that. Basically either trade/turn McNeil into a bench player with his versatility , or trade/release Cano. Or trade Nimmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's probably going to be different views on this one. Some may think the Sox caused his regression and returning him to his closer role will bring back the dominant Craig. Others may think 'Bad Craig' is back and that's what they will get. Personally, if I was a fan of another team in need of a closer, I wouldn't touch Kimbrel with a 10 foot pole.

Yep there are people who think just getting anyone to pay the whole contract and get a tiny nothing piece in return would've been good and they might not be wrong. There are also people who would rather have the payroll flexibility than trade him for Segura and Sox fans who think Segura an expensive, old, piece who bats with the wrong hand. Then there are the Phillie fans who think Segura is a valuable piece and Kimbrel is worthless. If he does go to the Phils we are going to have some controversy on Soxtalk unless somehow the Sox get the Phils to eat his whole contract and get a B and C prospects.

I highly doubt the Mets are counting on him at all coming back from suspension. He was playing in one of the winter leagues, and now has a back issue. I doubt the Mets could have traded him without eating most of his money anyway, but now they might as well just hold on to him and see what happens in spring training.

bmags Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I think personally that even as a pro -Segura-is-a-solid-player person that he would be more of a target to include from the Phil’s side. I don’t know why, but I think they will go after Baez. So if I am Hahn, I think that’s a scenario where Id push to shed more, and that would be Keuchel. But a Kimbrel/Keuchel for Segura/Marchon package frees up $19M from Sox and seems unlikely. A big win from my side is if we send out Kimbrel to LA for some mid level, ML near guys. Getting Jacob Amaya or James Outman adds some much needed position player depth that plays across the field, and opens up 40-man spots for dodgers, where Sox have a good amount. Kimbrel for Outman, Amaya would add a much needed defensive SS (unless you think Sanchez is that) and upgrades Luis Gonzalez, both with guys who if they refund their bat (Amaya) or bat is real (outman) add some real talent. And it seems Sox could get a better player if Eat some cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I don't know why the Sox would be in a hurry to trade Kimbrel especially if the coming days are as crazy as we think they're going to be. More than a few teams are going to miss out on their reliever targets and when the lockout is over they will be scrambling for help. If I were Hahn I'd sit on this until after the lockout when there should be a hotter market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Frazier just got traded to the Mariners so he was available. Good call on that. Doesn't sound like much of a return. 26 yr old minor league relief pitcher and a 12th round draft pick who is 21 and hit .390 in A ball but only 141 PA.

If I were Hahn I'd sit on this until after the lockout when there should be a hotter market. Let’s be honest though, the market for $16M relievers is incredibly small. I’d wager there is far more risk than reward by holding and if you get a solid offer you should move Kimbrel now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but why would they sell now if offers are improving. I think @Harold's Leg Lift is right, they would be better off holding out if they will receive a higher return later on. That’s probably what the holdup is. Edited November 27, 2021 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
