I think he's saying that they could have Cabrera for free if they wanted to go that route.
I'll only be on board with it if he throws in ERod and Devers.No confirmation of this anywhere. After seeing the Yanks trade for Frazer... I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to see some sort of DDom blockbuster and we might be saying goodbye to Benintendi

Yeah, Chase Headley should be available.I'll only be on board with it if he throws in ERod and Devers.
Wait, what?No confirmation of this anywhere. After seeing the Yanks trade for Frazer... I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to see some sort of DDom blockbuster and we might be saying goodbye to Benintendi
You're not a very good poster.No confirmation of this anywhere. After seeing the Yanks trade for Frazer... I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to see some sort of DDom blockbuster and we might be saying goodbye to Benintendi
Maybe unclear. In reaction to the Yankees trade, I'm suspecting that Dom will look for a blockbuster deal and Benintendi will be packing.Wait, what?
Who would we even be acquiring?Maybe unclear. In reaction to the Yankees trade, I'm suspecting that Dom will look for a blockbuster deal and Benintendi will be packing.
I can't see the Redsox trading Benintendi or making a blockbuster, but if they did, Benintendi would be the easiest guy to replace. They already have Young with Brentz and Lin in Pawtucket. Michael Chavis will probably be moved off 3b sooner or later and has the athleticism and arm strength to play the OF. Benintendi would also probably bring more back than JBJ.You're not a very good poster.
I agree, but probably the most likely scenario for that went off the board yesterday when Martinez went to the D'backs, since as you point out, the Sox don't have any credible MLB-ready OF depth beyond Brentz, and even though Brentz is having a nice little year, I seriously doubt DD would consider trading Benintendi and then handing the job to Brentz for the stretch run. The return for Benintendi would have to be spectacular for that to make sense.Doesn't make your claim any less valid, but if the Sox did pull off a blockbuster... Ben10 would be the guy moved and coming back would be a bat better than anyone else we have in the lineup.
Describe awful. He's hitting .247/333/.401 on the year with a BAbip of .263. 28bb/40k in 279 PA. Over his last 87 PA, he's hitting .267/.368/.507 on a miserable .246 BAbip. But he has 5 HRs, 3 doubles, 11bb/9k during that stretch. Strikes me as a guy who has just been really unlucky this year. His LD% is at a career high 25%. His k% is close to his career low while his BB rate is close to a career high. If he comes with a small price tag, sign me up.Cabrera has been awful this year. I'd rather stick with Lin/Marrero than give up anything of even marginal value for him.
Whats his alleged role? He's played 1 game at 3B in his career.Describe awful. He's hitting .247/333/.401 on the year with a BAbip of .263. 28bb/40k in 279 PA.

He'd play 3b despite that. The Sox don't seem to have much reservation in trying guys at new positions with very little experience. And by small price tag, I mean someone like Lorenzo Cedrola.Whats his alleged role? He's played 1 game at 3B in his career.
Wasn't aware. That changes things.He was bitching earlier in the year about being moved off of ss by the Mets. I'm not sure he'd relish a utility role.
Eh, maybe I over-simplified it.Wasn't aware. That changes things.
I take the typos as a sign of authenticity. My favorite was when the Yankees acquired ZBrendan Rtan.I am wondering if he was hacked....that tweet is a mess
IDK, from the blockbuster standpoint you also have to factor in that Ben10 is still the one guy on your table that has the most cost controlled time left, which is going to be pretty valuable in itself the next couple of year when we are budgeting together our annual rosters.I can't see the Redsox trading Benintendi or making a blockbuster, but if they did, Benintendi would be the easiest guy to replace.

The next poster that predicts a trade involving any of the "Bs" should get a warning and then a time out even for bitching back. Define "Bs" as Betts, Benintendi, Bradley and Bogaerts.IDK, from the blockbuster standpoint you also have to factor in that Ben10 is still the one guy on your table that has the most cost controlled time left, which is going to be pretty valuable in itself the next couple of year when we are budgeting together our annual rosters.
If anything and if DD woke up today with a bug in his butt to massively shake up what he viewed as being a flawed overall build core, my guess would be that you start from the back. Which is probably taking a hard look at Xander. Who all wishful hometown discount extension stuff aside...is a little over 2 years away from likely seeing the Jason Heyward treatment in free agency as a 27yo premium position player. Something I honestly can't see myself buying in to when that time comes. From there I also probably ultimately end up seeing Bradley as being more expendable then Ben10 in the right deal and aftermath setup.
I still see the most obvious potential "fix" being a Moustakas signing in free agency (pending what he does the rest of this year), but in fantasyland where we are talking about Machado the first possibility that came to my mind was honestly a straight up Xander for Machado swap. They get the extra year of control on a great overall player, where as we are left buying in that Machado's early struggles this year are nothing and that he'll spend the next 1.5 anchoring the lineup a lot better then Xander would. DD turns around to still make the lesser trade on one of the budget infielder types he's already looking at now to fill the hole at SS (unless he's really sold that Lin is for real I guess), and stays the patient course with Devers. The very latter of which gets a shot next spring to get his feet wet in the majors at 1B, and then shifts back a year latter when we let Machado walk as FA.
Or something more along those lines.
Not even top 5 Gammons.I take the typos as a sign of authenticity. My favorite was when the Yankees acquired ZBrendan Rtan.
Is Toe Nash out of prison at the moment?Who would we even be acquiring?
It would be pretty easy just recycling Andrew Jackson's official portraits.pgammo for POTUS!
Okay, so does Bogaerts and Benintendi get us close to Trout?The next poster that predicts a trade involving any of the "Bs" should get a warning and then a time out even for bitching back. Define "Bs" as Betts, Benintendi, Bradley and Bogaerts.
If Trout is rounding 2nd and heading to 3rd on a short ball to LF maybe they'll be close.Okay, so does Bogaerts and Benintendi get us close to Trout?
Nice try but to address the OP's question, Boagaerts and Benintendi might get *us* close to Trout if they invited him to join a SoSH thread or group chat where we could ask him questions and tell him how awesome he is.If Trout is rounding 2nd and heading to 3rd on a short ball to LF maybe they'll be close.
I'm sorry.... the phrase you're looking for is "divinely inspired poster", thank you.You're not a very good poster.
You calling this a chat board is illuminating. It explains your posting history.I'm sorry.... the phrase you're looking for is "divinely inspired poster", thank you.
But seriously..... I'm supposed to submit a long thought out, research paper in a thread that has "speculation" in it's title... on a chat board full of nothing but obsessed speculators?
