He could have been traded to a contender like the Dodgers, and they probably would’ve given him the extension he wanted if he didn’t demand one. Afterall, they gave one to Mr. Glass-Now. It’s one of the weirdest moves I’ve ever seen a player make. Just dumb. And now it’s gonna bite him in the ass because he will probably be stuck here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingering questions now about durability won’t disappear over the offseason. Absolutely should have traded him. Not trading him was egregious. I don’t care if you take a “lesser” return because a lesser return could still be a lot better than the return this offseason plus you risk injury.

They should have traded both Robert and Crochet. Take what you can get. When have we seen a Sox player’s trade value actually increase the closer they get to free agency over the last 5 years? Eloy, Kopech, Giolito, Lynn, Cease, moncada, etc. the value of all these guys diminished the longer they held onto them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
