flavum Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) Why would we trade Beckham? He's finally showing something offensively. Selling high, and the Sox are starting to produce some middle infielders--Micah Johnson and Marcus Semien are getting closer to legit prospects. And Carlos Sanchez is still in the picture, but needs another year. Edited July 31, 2013 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasttriptotulsa Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 11:07 AM) What would the Royals want with Rios? Do they think they are contending next year? They think they're contending this year. They decided to go for it when they said Santana wasn't available. They're only 7 games out.

GreenSox Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The Nellie Cruz thing is tricky. He's a FA after this year, so he goes into free agency off of a 50 game suspension. Alternatively, he could appeal the suspension for this season, serve it next year, but he'll have no contract. If the Rangers like him, I would think they could extend him at a bargain and then tell him to appeal the suspension this year, essentially pushing their short term problem to next year.

Hoping we eat some salary and get something of value back tho In this market, he does have some value, despite his best attempts to kill it. Best case scenario, we get a projectable prospect package back (similar to what Boston gave us), and we eat cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Rangers like him, I would think they could extend him at a bargain and then tell him to appeal the suspension this year, essentially pushing their short term problem to next year. From what I read, anybody who appeals their suspension faces a punishment of double the original suspension length, so it might not make sense to appeal.

GreenSox Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 We should be getting a break here with teams like Seattle, KC, Minny, Colorado, not being overt sellers and flooding the market. I hope we can get some moves made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, an appeal is going to be difficult to win in the midst of others on the same list admitting guilt and accepting the 50 game ban.
