Sox still negotiating for Myers

[jacksonianmarch]

Looks like Bloom has his eye on buying a prospect or two from the Padres. The current floated idea is the Sox take Quantrill and Myers (maybe more) with the Padres eating half of the contract. The Sox would send a garbage player back and essentially they’ll buy Quantrill for half of Myers’ deal

We need to rebuild our farm, so I’m not against a move like this as long as we aren’t giving up anything valuable for Myers.

[Noles_1335]

Have to get some arms one way or the other and maybe just maybe, Myers can get back to being the player he once was!

[Bellhorn04]

Bloom = creative.

I wouldn't trade Beni, but assuming the Betts/Price deal with LA ultimately goes through, I would indeed call the Padres back and see if they're still interested in sending us Myers...with our newfound payroll flexibility, we could take his contract along with a prospect or two.

Myers (full money), Campusano, Morejon, and Quantrill comes to a flat zero value on the trade simulator...Quantrill would become your #5 SP, and you get a couple more prospects to revitalize the system. Send the Padres any warm body and call it a day.

Bloom is a genius.

Please don't call JBJ a garbage player.

So would this mean JBJ is trade bait? This would give them a glut of "starter potential" outfielders wouldnt it?

Myers can also play 1B. Not like Moreland is amazing

He'd platoon with Mitch, but I wonder if using Dalbec/Chavis would be better unless they are going to move them as well.

There is a potential for multi-team trades in which JBJ might be involved. Bloom is playing a lot of angles so lets see what he can create. I don't think Moreland is going anywhere this year.

[Slasher9]

maybe we can start other threads on more rumors

[moonslav59]

If we get Myers, I wonder why we signed Moreland. We have Chavis and Dalbec to help at 1B, too.

Getting Quantrill would be nice, but even half of Myer's deal is a burden beyond 2020.

I'll wait to see the full deal before giving my opinion.

I wonder if Bloom sees something in Myers he thinks he can correct and see improvement.

[moonslav59]

Here are the values set by the Trade Values site of some SD players of possible interest:

-47.4 Myers -owed $68.5M/3 but Lux is $13.8M x 3
+8.0 Baez (RHP)- pre arb
+8.6 Quantrill (SP)- pre arb
+12.8 Naylor (OF/1B)- pre arb
+13.7 Morejon (LHP prospect)
+16.0 Yates (Closer)- $7.1M x 1 year, then FA
+32.1 Campusano (C prospect)

We already do...

Myers is RHB. Mitch is LHB.
