OmarComing25 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 07:41 PM) Half of the NL isn't even pretending to compete for next year Are any AL teams even rebuilding? Maybe Oakland, but I would not be at all surprised if they were good next year. Meanwhile in the NL the Padres, Rockies, Braves, Phillies, Marlins, Reds and Brewers are in rebuilding mode or have little hope of contending. What a joke.

Bob Sacamano Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 They got more back than what they gave up because when they got Kimbrel they also took on Melvin Upton Jr. in the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they did was clear 2 expensive relievers to try to improve other positions. The Boston prospects are still at least a year away, maybe 2 or 3.

Bob Sacamano Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 13, 2015 -> 06:52 PM) I wonder what the Sox could get for DRob. I wonder the same. If the Sox were offered 2 good prospects for Robertson I'd probably pull the trigger. Going into last off-season, Robertson is someone I really didn't want them to spend money on. But when they did, it was kind of like "well I hope he does good since he's here." Wasn't exactly thrilled and would rather have the extra money to spend.

I didn't mean improve the roster with just this deal. Mostly the freeing up money to spend in other spots (they've already been linked to Desmond who has potential to be a lot better than anyone they've trotted out there the past couple years).

nitetrain8601 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Wouldn't make sense for the Sox. They need to trade what little they have outside of maybe Abreu to gain more players. Essentially do 1 for 2 or 1 for 3 type deals. I love Tehran and Freeman, but they would be the exact opposite of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wouldn't give up that much. 4.4 fWAR. Had a wRc+ of 114 and wOBA of 342 with 35 homers. He's going to be 30 years old in Fenruary and has 2 years left on his deal.

Harry Chappas Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The age shift in baseball has begun. The prime for players is now 25-30 as it was back when wool uniforms were in vogue through the cocaine craze of the late 80's What is now being called rebuilding is simply teams realizing that players are declining sooner and youth needs to be in the MLB by the age of 24. Frazier is declining in value and the Reds know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
