BlackSox13 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) I didn't want him nor at that price. But hilarious all we hear about is the Cubs. Then they say they're the clear front runner and boom he's a Blue Jay. Ha Yup, happens every year. A lot of the sports writers talk all this trash about how the cubs are going sign the best free agents, the cub fans buy into it and then have their hearts broken when the players signs elsewhere. As a Sox fan, its predictably entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have anyone in particular in mind? I kinda wonder if maybe Shields could be the guy ( bad contract) given his age and expected contract length. Regression will happen to him. Maybe the cubs offer a 4-5 year deal to BMac? That would be a gamble topped off with insanity given his injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a gamble topped off with insanity given his injury history. The absolutely most I think any team could ever go with McCarthy is 3 years. If someone gave him 4-5 years, they'd likely have to be committed to a mental institution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Law Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So Castro is now the best available catcher pretty much, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I think Dioner Navarro will be available since the Jays likely keep Thole due to his ability to catch Dickey's knuckleball. A Flowers/ Navarro platoon sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no kidding. I probably missed that with so much talk surrounding Salty. I like the idea and prefer Navarro over Montero/ Castro.

I also had, Loney at first, Iglesias at SS, Josh Reddick in RF ( he still might be a good acquistion). Of course this was all before Abreu , Eaton and Avi since the thread was from late June 2013. I was on the right track with Iglesias ,just picked the wrong prospect but he was traded along with Avi ,by Boston ,in the Peavy deal. I remember when that trade was brewing and everyone thought at first we had got Iglesias and I was like "Oh yea nailed it " !

I remember when that trade was brewing and everyone thought at first we had got Iglesias and I was like "Oh yea nailed it " ! I was with ya on the Lonely/ Reddick idea. I mentioned Lonely once and basically got laughed at, lol. I liked Reddick a few years ago when he was in Boston too. I really think the Sox and Jays could be a match. The Jays are looking for an outfielder and the Sox are looking for a catcher. Viciedo for Navarro fills holes both teams have and their salaries are pretty close too so the Jays would be able to spend money elsewhere. Navarro is a much cheaper option than say, Montero, which allows the Sox plenty of money to be spent elsewhere. Its a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updated order: http://atmlb.com/1xsOfmA I would guess they are hoping Martin has a great 2015 and then they will try to trade him. I am not sure if he received a NTC, but it seems to me getting one almost guarantees you will be traded at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
