Red Sox Deadline Discussion (nothing is credible) thread
- Thread starter soxhop411
- Start date
As well, the Cubs don't have any huge money other than Lester, who they need if they are trying to compete.
This deadline sounding like it could be a huge snoozefest. Lots of stuff seeming like it's not happening/won't happen
Joel Sherman on MLB Network:
Yankees have gotten indication that the Padres are "working on something big" that involves Kimbrel.

Sources: #Padres, #RedSox, #Cubs 3-team trade possibility remains very much alive, with two hours to deadline.

Two hours before trading deadline, Red Sox efforts focused on Carrasco or Ross. JBJ could be going

This has all the signs of one of Theo's classic overly-complicated multi-team last minute trades that falls apart under its own weight followed by a shoulder shrugging press conference.
The only team getting a LOT of consistent mentions is the Padres. They certainly seem like they're going to do something. I'll be surprised if The Sox do anything huge.
Can people please post the text of tweets like Corsi does? For some of us it just shows up as a link. Thanks.
Even could use the word ecstatic that Duffy is working out so well so soon after Joe Panik did the same. What an infield they now have with those two added in with Crawford and Belt, and all home grown.Lars The Wanderer said:
Koji and Owens-or-Johnson go to Chicago and the Red Sox get back Ross and Kimbrel?DrewDawg said:
I know they're selling high (if Cleveland is really shopping him), but the price must be enormous for Carrasco.

I don't see how a package doesn't include Swihart.

Bowden on XM just said there are a bunch of deals that are already done but won't be announced until right before 4:00
Was talking more about how the final couple hours have gone down. Talk that Bruce Gonzalez might not be dealt, this was also when Tomase said the 3 team deal was unlikely to happenE5 Yaz said:
Could the Indians not understand what they have here?ehaz said:
Or are there reasons to be concerned that we can't see?
He sure looks like an awesome target to me
Yeah trading Bradley Jr. would make sense. The Red Sox did a nice job rebuilding his trade value but they've been hiding him in AAA as if they don't believe in him. They probably want to move him.
Watching MLB network, that ex-Rockies GM is pretty smart, not sure why things didn't work out for him with the Rockies, but then again buidling a winner in Colorado hasn't been easy. He is so much smarter than H.Reynolds and doesn't shy away from correcting Reynolds when he is wrong, which is often. He was the first one to argue that getting out of the Gomez deal was a good move by the Mets. I'm not sure why the other commentators couldn't figure that out.

Bowden mentions a blockbuster with the Padres but the teams mentioned were Houston and Chicago. No mention of the Red Sox.
Nightengale on MLB Network saying the Cubs want Ross and Kimbrel and that the Sox are "on the periphery" of any potential deal.
Unless they give up something people don't want to give up. the Red Sox are more likely to end up with David Ross or Cody Ross than Tyson Ross.
Yes, Carasco seems to be the prize here. How would we rank the importance of these rumors?MillarTime said:
1. Cassasco
2. Trade Panda and eat some of his celery.
3. Kimbrel
4. Trade Koji for high end prospect

Agreed, he's been excellent. He had a segment last night about how a team would use an fWAR-filled war room to go after targets at the deadline, it was illuminating.
The Cubs probably need us to take salary back from SD, in the form of Shields and Gyorko. If that's the case, we should get a tasty piece from the Cubs for doing so.
That might be one-sided, that is, only the Red Sox are talking about it (thinking Sandoval specifically). The other 29 teams can't be that deaf, blind and stupid. Sandoval can't field or run well right now. Hell, he can't even stay on the field lately. Other teams don't see that?HomeRunBaker said:
I could absolutely see the Padres taking this risk. Between Norris, Gyorko, Solarte, and Amarista they have given over 1,000 ABs to hitters with an OPS under .700 this season.RedSox040713 said:
Panda has a career .799 OPS and plays a position where the Padres are bereft of any legitimate alternatives. Maybe it's a pipe dream, and it could take some salary and prospect flexibility, but I could see the Padres talking themselves into it.
Farrell said on WEEI to not expect any major deals, but both Pablo and Hanley are out of the lineup tonight with supposed injuries. (Sandoval - forearm, Hanley - shin)
