    A Realistic View at 2020: Part II

    We're likely not done with off season moves, but I guess it's time for Part II.

    Here's the link to Part I: https://www.talksox.com/forum/thread...at-2020-Part-I

    Wow, no Betts. No Price. No Luxury Tax.

    Our slim ring chances for 2020 took a big hit, but our extended outlook appears much brighter. Back to 2020: here's my take on the depth chart by position (Red are the likely 26 man roster players- some due to no options or rule 5 restrictions).

    SP: Sale, ERod, Eovaldi, Perez, Weber
    Johnson, Houck, Velazquez, Hart, Shawaryn, McGrath, Kent, Reyes, Ward

    RP: Workman, Barnes, Taylor, Walden, D Hernandez, Brasier, Hembree, Brice
    Brewer, Osich, (see SP'ers), Mazza, Springs, Hall, Poyner

    C: Vazquez, Plawecki, Lucroy, Centeno, Bandy, Wong, A Rei

    1B: Moreland, Chavis, Dalbec, Ockimey, Longhi, Joseph

    2B: (Pedroia IL), Peraza, Chavis, Lin, Arauz, Chatham, Marco, Downs

    3B: Devers, Dalbec, Chavis, Lin, Marco, Witte

    SS: Bogaerts, Lin, Arauz, Chatham, Marco, de la Guerra, Downs

    LF: Benintendi, JD, Pillar, (Moreland/Chavis), Puello, Lin

    CF: JBJ, Pillar, Puello, Lin, Wilson, Duran, Castillo

    RF: Verdugo, Pillar, JD, Puello, Wilson, Duran, Castillo

    DH: Martinez, Dalbec, Chavis

    We need a lot to go right to be a top contender, but it could happen. More likely, we'll fight hard to make the wild card game and hope for a surprise.

    The Myers trade is on the horizon. Spring training games begin, soon. Spring is in the air.

    GO SOX!

    Yeah! Wil Myers! Said no one ever.

    Hopefully Quantrill has his dad’s rubber arm...

    So here’s my question.

    If the Sox add Myers and Quantrill, what names are no longer red? You list 26, but not Arauz, whom hopefully Bloom either makes a deal for, or sends back.

    I would guess Weber, but that’s been my guess for a while. But Weber and Lin get DFA?

    I'm curious about the rumor we get more than just Quantrill, but I guess it depends on who we give to SD.

    I'm thinking Chavis or Dalbec, so maybe it's someone else decent.

    So far, no names, and possibly no one significant...

    Yes, it could be a nobody for just Myers, cash and Quantrill.

    No way in hell Bloom is going to send one of our top 30 prospects. By assuming half of Myers' contract, we are simply buying prospects.

    Of course, but adding Chavis or Dalbec (one is likely blocked) for another prospect or two who fill positions of higher need (pitching) might make sense.

    I'm fine with sending just a nobody for Quantrill, Myers and a heap of cash.

    The funny thing is, the Sox still lose out on that deal if the cash is anything less than $39 million, per the BTV Simulator. That's how negative Myers' contract is, even after it's been upgraded.

    They still need to throw in Baez and lower the cash to $30mill to even this out

    Most reports I've seen suggest Myers, Cal Quantril and Luis Campusano (or possibly Gabriel Arias) with not a lot going the other way.

    I make that trade in a heart beat.

    Since the luxury tax number is so much lower than the actual money owed, I'm not sure the BTV break even point needs to be met.

    Maybe, we get Myers, $25M, Quantrill and Arias for some long shot prospect.
