JoeC Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/royals-trade-rumors-whit-merrifield-best-fits.html MLBTR thinks the Sox would be a decent fit for Merrifield. He could plug in at 2B or RF. He's a RH bat, but, barring his would-have-fit-in-with-the-Sox April, he's been OK, and his salary is affordable.

southsider2k5 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 The anti-vax thing with a potential playoff match up with Toronto is a really bad fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Josh Harrison has had a better wRC+ than Merrifield the last 2 seasons. Merrifield just isn't good at the plate anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Mite Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Can't see him helping us, he's been on a downward trend for about 4 years now, forget about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I'll give him this, he doesn't hit ground balls. But if we go after underperforming hitters I'd rather have upside power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Only way I trade for Merrifield is if it's straight up for Leury. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 No thanks. Let’s not waste any of our very limited resources on Whit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveno89 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Agreed Merrifield is not really an upgrade over Harrison at this stage in his career. Royals should have traded him years ago when his value was higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that .635 OPS is a great fit with Leury and Harrison. Sox definitely need more utility players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
