Even when he didn't play that well. I was just thinking last night: “man, a 10-year $300M deal for a star player’s 26-36 age seasons would be an absolute steal right now.” Oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How stupid could this franchise get? They have done a lot of stupid things so it honestly wouldn’t be that surprising. I love TA, but looking at the contracts these shortstops are getting, there is zero chance he will get that money here unless Jerry Reinsdorf is no longer on this Earth. So trading him for a haul now and reloading might not be the worst idea. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I was nit picking. Sorry, I worded that like a dumbass. Nothing I know if pending, but they are listening, I and would be happy to move him. 1 addition by subtraction. 2 his value is probably at its peak today, higher after Swansom signs.I believe I said on here right after his last injury he would not be back with the team the rest of the season and i believed he played his last game in Chicago. People can vouch that I've called this going back now. And long before his personal issues, and I am not referencing anything to do with that. I would put him almost as likely to be the Sox SS in 2023 as he is in ATL or LA. He is 100% not untouchable or not I discussions. That "like" is no coincidence. 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is one guy is currently penciled into a middle infield spot (if Dodgers signed a SS, he would be at 2B) and one is currently penciled into the OF, along with Trayce Thompson. I don’t think Muncy sees a starting job at either 2B or 3B and Chris Taylor is semi-regular bench player. They are thin.

flavum Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 To be honest, I think the Sox should play for being in the best position they can be for 2025. We aren’t winning anything the next two years. Astros are too good, and too many other AL teams are better now and in a better position for the future. What I’m trying to say…sell the team, Jerry. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 The Dodgers GM yesterday said they have no interest in Correa and cited fan backlash as a reason why they don’t want to sign him FWIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll look at the White Sox trying to include Lux and realize it's not a smart setup for either of them. They'll push to have something else in Lux's place. The Dodgers aren't going to be desperate enough to make their big league roster worse in order to add Anderson. Pepiot I'm not sure, they do have a pitching need next year too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard from a LAD friend that they really don't want to give up Lux and prolly would offer Busch instead who is really more of a 1B than 2B and that doesn't help us really. On the other hand, we don't care about defense so maybe RH will be fine with Busch if they add in something else on top of him, Pepiot and Outman.

If we are being smart about this, something like Anderson and Hendriks to them for Andy Pages and Gavin Stone is an interesting concept as it's two guys the Dodgers aren't likely to rely heavily on this year as big league contributors but who each have substantial value. The Dodgers seem really unlikely to give up pieces that they can't replace without doing more trades, unless there's a FA option available comparable to Lux? You might be able to work something in where they give up a lesser prospect in exchange for taking Moncada's deal on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
