Do a three way trade if necessary, but holy s%*# Getz him and Lux don’t do s%*# for us. It sure sounds like the Phillies ran Bohm by Getz. Why would Getz be asking about Bohm if they're concerned about his 2024 2nd half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey21 Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Jim Bowden, who is a clown, was asked about a package including Kjerstad and Beavers from the O's and sounded very sure that for Crochet it would require ONE of Basallo or Mayo. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5946068/2024/11/25/mlb-trade-scenarios-rumors-crochet-arenado/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted November 25 Author Share Posted November 25 1 hour ago, PaleAleSox said: Maybe the Sox are getting a better prospect package if they take him off their hands? Bohm is worth his projected $8.5M salary, so you’d almost certainly be taking less prospects with his inclusion. I think the reality would love use him instead of additional prospects and then replace him via free agency. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Bowden is speculating on the exact trade package the Red Sox would offer for Crochet, it’s interesting to note his mention of Casas since there has been lots of reporting this offseason that the Red Sox are looking to move Rafael Devers off of third base. If the Red Sox were to sign a third baseman and move Devers to first base then they may view Casas as a palatable trade option if it nets them a potential difference-making starter like Crochet. Bowden suggested that “a package of Casas, Wilyer Abreu, and Connor Wong probably gets close to landing Crochet. The Red Sox could then replace Abreu with prospect Roman Anthony in right field, replace Wong with Kyle Teel at catcher.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 With barely any guaranteed money on the books, it would be easy to weaponize that for a larger return. Phillies should be giving up Eduardo Tait or Starlyn Caba with Crawford and Bohm if Walker comes back.... https://t.co/8ME2Mef7J4 — Footlong Comiskey Dog (@comiskeydog1) November 25, 2024 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are a disater, and watering down the trade return of your best trade asset would be criminal You have to receive prospects with blue chip upside if you are moving him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually only 4 years of control for Casas and Wong. Let’s help the Red Sox re-tool their lineup and get younger while we get older!

Lyle Moooton Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Anything with Bohm makes me wonder if he’d be packaged with Crochet to the Red Sox (who want to moved Devers to 1b) with the Sox sending Robert to Philly for some combination of prospects from both teams (mostly Boston). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 Taijuan Walker for Benintendi in a stand alone deal would actually make some sense for both sides. Saves the Sox $ in the long run and the Phillies may prefer to pay Beni to platoon in LF rather than have to eat all $36M left on Walker’s deal.

Either release him and eat the money like a professional MLB franchise in 2025, or they should find a band contract for bad contract deal that gets them something they need more than Benny.

If Getz was anything other than a moron, he'd realize he's one very old man not waking up the next morning away from being unemployable in baseball unless he actually makes some decent decisions. If he truly feels no pressure than he's an even bigger idiot than we think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
