Just musing, but with Perez going down for 6-8 weeks, I wonder what KC would be willing to give up for Swihart? Do they have anything that would warrant the Sox's attention?

Those were my exact thoughts too.

I do not think Swihart's trade value is as high as his talksox perceived value (myself included).
That being said, how about Swihart, Travis, Johnson and Beeks for Danny Duffy?
(Cue a harmony OPS projection post)
Yes, Clay Buchholz.
Hi, I'm KC's GM. Click...Originally Posted by moonslav59
We'd probably have to give ERod+ or JBJ & Johnson.
Duffy is signed for 4 more years. You'd have to give up ERod, Swihart and Johnson probably. Also, Duffy has never pitched over 180 innings in a year. He's not the guy to put you over the edge.
I'd also rather trade Leon. Maybe KC would want Leon for a AAA arm with upside?
While Duffy may not have gone 180+ neither have Wright, ERod and Johnson.
Maybe they'd take Leon and a pitcher for a better pitcher. Are they looking for a 1Bman or do they feel happy with Schwindel (1.300+ in ST'ing)?
If not, we could add Travis or Ockimey (or Chavis) to get a better return.
Swihart’s value isn’t as a catcher. The Royals are expecting to try and compete, but they know they don’t have the goods vs Minnesota or Cleveland. They’re not going to deal anything of value for a catcher they won’t need come the end of May
This ^^ rebuilding mode there. Too valuable at Trade deadline if they want Prospects, in the Minors.

In baseball, you can't trade 4 quarters to get a dollar. It's not how it works.
ERod is a good pitcher, but right now he's damaged goods. Chavis didn't play at all this ST. Ockimey isn't projected to be a major leaguer. I don't think the Sox want to trade Travis just yet.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!1!11Yes, Clay Buchholz.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
This thread is not titled very well. What KC really needs are personal assistants to carry luggage from the airport to the hotel
I believe KC would jump at the opportunity to get Swihart, first to fill in as catcher for the 6 - 8 weeks it takes for Perez to return. And then KC won't be able to take Swihart's bat out of the lineup and will certainly find a position for him albeit OF, 3B, 2B, or 1B. Thus, it strikes me that KC would be a very willing trade partner.
That’s utter Nonsense. With our maxed-out budget, we can’t afford the phone call to begin with.
