GGajewski18 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Maurer scared me a little bit. I wouldn't mind Allen Webster and Anthony Raunado from the Red Sox though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Other teams have already approached the White Sox about him, including the contending Mariners and Giants, according to one major league source. The Mariners, the source said, would consider trading 23-year-old right-hander Brandon Maurer as part of a two-player package for him, so it's reasonable to expect that the Red Sox would have to be willing to part with one of their young arms (Brandon Workman, Rubby De La Rosa, Allen Webster) to acquire him.

GGajewski18 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Honestly, any one of those 3 have me giddy from the Red Sox, just add another pitcher with one of the 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Honestly expect Viciedo, Beckham, Danks gone. Well see about Ramirez because he has some good value and is under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Maurer is likely the best you could get for DV. Those Red Sox names are a pipe dream, pulled from a hat by one sports writer. Ignore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'd be thrillied with Webster or Workman for Viciedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I don't know what kind of stuff Maurer has, but he's clearly been pushed hard upwards by the Ms as he made the big leagues by 22. If they think there's anything there and that guy is on the table then Viciedo should already be in the other dugout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 That said, lets just hope DV has a big series and the M's decide to pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like they haven't watched him the last few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'll be pleasantly surprised if the Sox can make some trades, because it means they're getting back players they think fit in the long term plans. Until then, I'll believe it when I see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I've never been in favor of trading Viciedo, but if we can get a couple decent prospects back, I'll take it. Do not like Maurer though, just based off the numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a matter of figuring it out like some of us have said the whole time. I get that too, but I'm looking at his 2nd year arbitration status next year and realizing that the time it might take for him to figure it out will start getting a lot more expensive soon.

Feeky Magee Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) Maurer seems reasonable. Any of those Red Sox names and we'd be absolutely laughing, enormously doubt the Red Sox would do that though.

Say Viciedo hits 265 with 20 HRs and 65 RBIs this season, do you keep him next year and part of your young core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His minor league track record is legit. Obviously needs to figure it out at the next level still, but that's what one should expect in a return for DV.

No because with a slash line of 260 300 430 and awful base running and putrid defense that is a .5 WAR player. Most here, despite the constant refrain about the importance of base running and defense, ignore it with Tank, as if he hits enough to offset it, uh no.

If he put up those numbers, of course I would love to still have him, but if the right offer was there then I think I would deal him. If the Mariners offered Brandon Maurer and Austin Wilson then yes I would say yes. If the Red Sox offered Allen Webster and Anthony Raunado/Brian Johnson I would say yes to that too.

elrockinMT Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Viciedo is only 25 years old. He still has quite an upside. Trading him for a genuine pitching prospect or two is the only way we win by trading him. We haven't seen too many prospects we trade for come through. It is a big risk and made worse if we undervalue Viciedo and his potential. But, I am not dismissing the possibility of a trade. De Aza is coming around with the bat and he may be a stop gap measure for a team. I like De Aza but. Jordan Danks back up at least improves the defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The fact that teams are talking about sending young pitching for Viciedo probably tells us that the league doesn't think as little of him as Sox fans do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
