Red Sox/MLB Atlanta’s Chris Sale wins the National League Cy Young Award

[RoccoF14]

.......The Orioles and Sox both present Chicago with acceptable offers for Crochet, but the White Sox prefer a package headlined by Heston Kjerstad over one headlined by Wilyer Abreu.

What then?

Offer more than Abreu?

I’m not buying but it’s interesting

I’d rather have Rooker & Burnes

Usually I would agree, but this year feels different. I think they are going to go to great lengths to make it happen. They know they need to give the fans a reason to come back, and I think they also have avenues of getting pitching help that won't break the bank. They can easily trade for Crochet, and if you can get Soto it will be a selling point for someone like Sasaki. Then work on getting a RH bat and bullpen help and call it a day. They have so much flexibility with the prospects in the system as well as young guys already making an impact on the roster. This is the year to go big while they have this financial flexibility.

No thanks on Bregman

 

[CDJ]

Bregman would be an ideal leader/locker room guy for the young group coming up. Raffy isn’t really that vocal guy.

I’d rather just sign Soto though, he’s a big time leader himself (another reason to pay him $650 mill)

Say you get Soto you trade Abreu and your OF is

Duran- Rafaela - Soto

Where does Anthony play eventually

Rafaela legit CF signed long term and Duran keeps improving and already a very good borderline star

I remain very skeptical with the NY teams

Soto-Duran-Anthony with super utility Rafaela (or trade him)

Or

Soto-Rafaela-Anthony (trade Duran)

Anthony likely not ready till mid to late so they probably got minimum another 100 games of evaluating

With Boras involved I don’t buy this good vibe

Red Sox have a budget and should
Mets don’t & Yankees got money, need, and had him so
