I'd take 2 months of Alvarez for 1 year and 2 months of LaRoche. Edited July 27, 2015 by soxfan2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take 2 months of Alvarez for 1 year and 2 months of LaRoche. So would I. Fwiw, Alvarez is not a FA until after the 2016 season. I am curious about this though. Alvarez is hitting better than LaRoche which is not saying alot. It must be LaRoche's defense that interest the Pirates since Alvarez is a hack.

Damn I thought it was 15 for some reason...I guess I'd still prefer him for a year. Or they find a taker for Alvarez and we give them LaRoche. Edit: he's actually arbitration eligible next season so you could always nontender him if you didn't want him.

I'm thinking Pitt wants more from the Sox than just LaRoche and that's why nothing happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got the Brewers to still pay 40% of Aramis's remaining $5 million, so they only took on a sliver even in that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame Pitt for wanting money since LaRoche is not worth it but I would be willing to pay in an effort to make a trade happen.

Jose Abreu Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I figured you guys were overreacting about the link. I have AdBlock and whatnot, so I opened it, expecting to read about LaRoche... yeah, you guys were right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon_44 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Alvarez for LaRoche would be an incredible deal for the Sox. You make Alvarez a full time DH and he may excel, well, at least improve, in that role. He wouldn't have to worry about his defense at all and that may be affecting him mentally. Plus, I'd do about anything to get LaRoche off the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Alvarez could be just as frustrating as Dunn and LaRoche but at least he'd be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Edwards Shot Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't know much about DFA, so somebody help me out... Why can't they/won't they DFA LaRoche? He's bad enough to warrant it. Are there some union issues/labor contract issues that prevent them from doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't they/won't they DFA LaRoche? He's bad enough to warrant it. Are there some union issues/labor contract issues that prevent them from doing it? Because the Sox would have to pay all of his salary next year (and the rest of this year). I don't think they are ready to do that. I also don't think it would be prudent to assume LaRoche is a bust and I also don't know if we have better options in house. Yes, he is struggling, but he also had some hand issues (IIRC) and they very well might be impacting his performance as well. If I were going to DFA him, it wouldn't be this year, it would be after he had a shot next year (with a fresh off-season / season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
