southsider2k5 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 An interesting thought... Carlos Marmol might be on the trading block, and the Sox have been shopping for a RH reliever quietly if you believe the rumors... Should Kenny call Hendry?

Baron Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 No.....and its funny to see that the Cubs actually want to trade players. Seems like they didnt want to trade anyone the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 As talented as he is, we have plenty of quality already in our pen, and Addison Reed isn't too far away. Not enough of a need to justify the likely high cost, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The bullpen is the least of the Sox' worries right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 could you imagine the gamethread meltdown if Marmol walked the bases loaded on 13 pitches, then turned a 3-0 game into a 6-3 loss? It would be epic. Greg would be epic too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Bruney is a concern, since Pena doesn't exist anymore....and he was a bigger concern than Bruney, in all honesty. I'd put it at #10 on our shopping list. And even if we wanted to get Marmol, what in God's name would we have to give up? For a reliever that's getting more and more expensive (looking ahead)....when we just discarded Jenks to avoid that very same thing from happening. When we've got cost control over Danks, Floyd, Quentin, Ramirez, Santos, Sale and Beckham....that's one of the few positive lights in our payroll situation. Why we'd trade away Viciedo + Mitchell + Reed + Santiago for another closer is beyond me. If anyone should be going after Marmol, it's the Tigers or Twins.

I could see either of those possibilities, Twins especially, if they decide to be buyers. Where, as you say, it would be priority #10 for us, it's probably the number 1 issue for the Twins.

maggsmaggs Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I like Marmol, but I don't think the Sox have the ammo to trade for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) The Cubs probably think they can get a lot for Marmol. Maybe someone is desperate enough to oblige them, but I would hope it isn't the Sox. Edited July 17, 2011 by Swingandalongonetoleft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying a high price for what would be the 3rd man with as many holes as this team has is silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
