Which team is willing to trade for a cheap SP with a very good track record and not judge him on a less than 10 start stretch? I’m going to say it would be 29 teams. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An absolute best case scenario in a trade is something like Kimbrel for Pollock. I forgot the Sox have this amazing pitching depth that they can easily replace Giolito 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't understand that, I can't help you. With all three of the SP who had big drops in fastball velo this year, they have to hope that a healthy offseason and a full ST brings the velo back.

I’m going to say it would be 29 teams. Sox don’t get a mega haul, but Gio still has trade value despite some struggles in a weird year. A good team not afraid of a long term commitment to pitchers would happily take him and lock him up for 5+ years at a market rate. The idea that he’s magically a non-tender candidate is so laughably bad that it doesn’t deserve any of the attention given in this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Robert is just too much of an undisciplined hitter to hit with an open stance. He's not Manny Machado. He's just not willing to hit the outside pitch the other way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His strikeout and walk rates are still basically identical to last season. His track record still matters. Losing 1 MPH of velocity isn't crippling. He's going to be fine.
