What should Bloom's plan for 2020 be?

[moonslav59]

Jackie Bradley Jr., J.D. Martinez and Brandon Workman have limited trade value:

... but the Red Sox could pursue trades nevertheless.

Oh, I get that JD & JBJ have very limited trade value, but something is better than nothing. If nothing is all that is offered, I might still do it to save money. (True, no money will be "saved" for 2021, unless JD opts in, but money saved now by Henry could be used to pay taxes later.)

Workman could get us something nice. He could also be packaged with JD, JBJ, Price or Eovaldi to lessen the financial additions we'd likely have to make to dump the last 2.

How about Eovaldi, JD, JBJ & Workman to TX for Odor, Frazier & Hernandez (C prospect)?

I'm not sure the Rangers want to spend this much, but you get the theory, assuming Betts is traded as well..

Isn't it already there and has been all winter?

Nope.

[moonslav59]

Nope.

He paid cash for Perez & Peraza. The checkbook is locked away.

[Bellhorn04]

He paid cash for Perez & Peraza. The checkbook is locked away.

Pretty hard to argue with that point.

Wrong. It was Kohl’s Cash.

I guess I'm not in such a small minority.

According to The Athletic, the Red Sox have discussed a trade involving Mookie Betts and Wil Myers:

https://theathletic.com/1557943/2020...e-betts-trade/

That makes little sense although Athletic reporter Dennis Lin was in on the breaking story of the Craig Kimbrel trade back with Lin was with the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Ewwwww

Harmony forgot to mention significant amount of prospect talent

It's got to include Price or Eovaldi.

I've suggested such trades on the trade simulator- like this one:

Betts & Price

for

Myers, Margot, Quantrill, Campusano & Morejon

[mvp 78]

What if it don’t?

[moonslav59]

Here's one the trade simulator accepted:

Betts & Eovaldi

for

Myers, Margot, Patino & Campusano

If there is no Price or Eovaldi attached, maybe adding JBJ might work, although OF is not a SD need once they get Betts.

Betts & JBJ (+$4M)

for

Myers, Margot, Gore & Campusano

or

Betts for Myers, Gore, Campusano & Rosario

(Not saying I like these deals.)

[jacksonianmarch]

Gore is untouchable per previous reports

[moonslav59]

Gore is untouchable per previous reports

Then, Patino, Campusano plus....

[mvp 78]

Espinoza as a throw in.
