Is it odd that there is nothing out there about what our plans may be? Is it a sign that we don't know what to do becUse the fact that there really is a lot of supposed friction in the FO? Or is it how Hahn does it when negotiating? Or do you all think they stand pat and let these guys play out the season? Even the normal inside guys on here are quiet. Just odd to me I guess with two days left.

Probably quiet because we went from likely sellers to potential buyers so quickly.

 

I would expect a ton of rumors tomorrow though.

I would honestly add two bats if I want a legit chance at competing. Puig will always be my first option. I don't think he's traded though without two starters going out or 1 starter we need and a hot prospect. The point is that we are buying now. So I would try for both CarGo and Justin Upton. We need protection around Abreu. And just DFA Adam LaRoche.

 

Eaton

Cabrera

CarGo

Abreu

Upton

Get a RF like Cargo, platoon LaRoche & Avi at DH, and call it a day. One bat should be enough IMO.

He had that done in May right and Peavy vetoed?

 

I think that was the year before. But he tried for the second time and Peavy didnt veto that time. The second time is when he said nothing was going to happen.

No IIRC it was same season.

 

Edit: it was the same season in '09. Around May 21, Peavy veteod. Then, on the deadline at the last minute they got it done.

Ah yeah that makes sense. Christ it was 2009? Time flies.

Man the Sox are on fire. They have to be the best baseball team of the past week. It should be an interesting deadline but I would not want to be in a GM shoes.

 

Personally I'd white flag the s*** out of this.

Well, if Rock isn't kidding, we're adding AJP

While I think he was just speculating, adding a third catcher would allow us to use Soto at DH against LHP while still allowing for us to pinch-hit for Flowers late in games (stole this idea from southsidesox). However, this idea becomes pretty pointless if we upgrade RF and let Avi platoon with LaRoche.

Sox are one under .500 with eight weeks of ball left. They played so badly for such an extended period of time, there's no law that says they can't ride this great pitching staff to eight weeks of excellence. I can see why they'd stand pat or try to add just one bat.

Speed defense , some power and very affordable, signed through 2016. He's ideal.

 

Just what we need. Also brings an edge that I kind of like. He's an asshole but an asshole you like if he's on your team.
