Red Sox Trade Deadline 2017 Thread

[Slasher9]

Stanton passed through waivers.

Would Bogey, ERod, Groome, Chavis and Travis get the talks started?

2 years ago i wanted us to trade for him very very badly.

[moonslav59]

Who replaces Bogey at SS? Who replaces ERod's spot in the rotation?

Who cares?

Nunez at SS and Price for ERod.

Nunez at SS and Price for ERod.

Nunez is a very bad defender at any position ... his longest run at SS was a 600 inning stint in 2015 where he had a rather impressive -28 DRS. Bogaerts career -1.2 UZR/150 at SS, Nunez -17.9 UZR/150.

Look at the contract my friend. No thanks.

I doubt he is on the block with the sale of the team to Jeter and friends. They ain't drawing a crowd with him, imagine without?

Obviously the cost of Stanton is the contract or why wasn't he claimed? But I guess teams must want a better deal, a lower yearly price for him in exchange for a few players. We would have to give up an outfielder and a prospect or two in exchange for say 17 million a year instead of 30 million a year. Or am I wrong??

Trivia: The Miami Marlin outfield this year has posted 10.3 fWAR, third best in the majors, while the Red Sox outfield has posted 7.7 fWAR, eighth best in the majors:

When you purchase a team, it really has nothing to do with the current on field product. It's about stadium value and tv market.

Teams know, if they claimed him and offered nothing in trade, the Marlins would just pull him back off waivers. That's why nobody claimed him.

Now that nobody claimed him, any team can work out a waiver-wire deal.

I doubt Miami would offer to pay any of his salary. That's the only reason they might have to trade away the only real big fan appeal player they have.

I doubt he gets traded this August. I'd put the odds pretty low for a winter deal as well.

With budget issues on the Sox horizon in 2019 and 2020, I seriously doubt we even kick the tires. My "offer" was somewhat tongue and cheek and was meant to give an idea of what a starting point to any trade might be.

If Boston wants to win a Championship this season the one move to make is Verlander. I don't want to hear about luxury tax and payroll constraints. Pitching wins championships and with Kimbrell on the backend with Sale Verlander price or porcello your going to be the AL favorite
If Houston is talking to Detriot? Henry needs to dig deep..

Red Sox aren't going to eat that salary for a marginal upgrade for a 4th starter.

Interesting package, if you replace Bogey with JBJ you might have a deal

[Kimmi]

Really?

Yes, really.

Yeah, Nunez is getting a lot of love right now because of his hot hitting, but he is not the answer as our full time shortstop, or full time anything, IMO.

You don't care about swallowing Verlander's deal, but Stanton is off-limits?

[moonslav59]

Yes, really.

Hmmm.
