Neither of those two are bringing back anything of significance by themselves anyway. Looks like everyone in their infield is hitting terribly. Edit: and their outfield is bad ha Pham works in a platoon with Raley. Expand Everyone is hitting terribly. But Pham might be a bigger negative than a positive for that clubhouse.

Expand Exactly…. I just don’t think any of their top young players are on the table, I think Elias is willing to deal MLB pieces that have been rumored to clear the way. My guess is the prospect availability now starts at Bradfield. I don’t see anyway Mayo or Holliday was/is on the table. As for Basallo, I’d trade him as we have Adley. I think he might make him available in a deal for Crochet or Skubal. But he and what they are willing to deal likely isn’t enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to this point and since the day Elias started here he was upfront about what he would and wouldn’t do. He’s mentioned untouchable tied to Holliday, Mayo, and Kjerstad at some point. Would he deviate after Holliday’s lackluster 30 ABs in the Majors at 20 years old? I think chances increased from 100% against to maybe 98%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a DH type in LF who looks shaky on every play. A closer who is either brilliant or awful. A All-Star SS playing sloppy defense. Need another starter, a RH veteran LF , another BP arm. And a terrible swing at the first pitch organizational approach. Spending on Crochet or Skubal won’t fix that. Honestly, Elias would have to empty the cupboard to fix all the holes.

With Detroit closer to contending than the Sox, you’re still gaining an high quality pitcher, but also setting back another AL team who, with Skubal, could be a couple key pieces from contending along with you. That gain is definitely valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
