oldsox Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 20 hours ago, Balta1701 said: That's part of the problem - When you are buying guys in their late 30s, going for them to fill your DH role specifically because they're cheap and because your team isn't developing enough guys to fill that spot internally, there is a very high chance of it busting. Adam Dunn, Adam LaRoche, Edwin Encarnacion - 3 data points is enough to define a pattern. All of them seemed like smart signings at the time. I don't think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the obvious trade acquisition that should have happened in 2010, but didn't. He was the stat-head darling, the 3 true outcomes dream. He was going to save the franchise until he didn't. LaRoche and Encarnacion were reactions to missing out on all the big pieces of that off-season. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely did, until he came to the Sox and forgot to hit like he did with the Reds and Nationals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had a re-draft of the 2024 first round, Smith would be pretty high on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was thinking him and/or maybe Valdez, who they’ve been peddling a little bit, via a three-way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Astros were trying to cut some salary with that Tucker trade. Not sure if they would want to add Robert’s money now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I saw an Athletic article that I can’t access but it talks about Houston “seeking sustainability.” Not sure if this mentions what they are looking to do. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5992938/2024/12/13/kyle-tucker-astros-cubs-trade-analysis/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Phillies need a CF A’s looking for a 3B Some sort of Robert to Phillies and Bohm to A’s 3 team? Starlyn Caba, Mick Abel, Max Muncy, and Denzel Clarke for Robert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_Kuntz Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 In that case it's way too much for Robert. I doubt Robert is worth 55-50-45-45. Philly could probably get Robert for Caba and Abel and just trade Bohm for the A's prospects. Although not sure the Sox would want Abel.
