I know injuries, weird season, but I didn’t think this Sox team would suck, and so far they do. Anderson, Moncada, Grandal, Abreu, Mazara combined 0-25 in today’s doubleheader. Mazara and Encarnacion can both leave town right now as far as I’m concerned.
What a difference a week makes.Don't love the fact that the offense is entirely reliant on the long ball, though it is a lineup built to do just that. This is a fun team right now.
Giolito no hits Pirates, Ks 13 and throws only 101 pitches. Baseball is fun on the Southside for the first time in a lot of years!
Lots of Brewer/Sox trade chatter out there.
What have you heard, Dish?
Could be a combo or just one of Woodruff/Anderson/Hader. From the Sox side, some combo of Kopech, Vaughn, Dunning, Stiever.Personally, I don’t think either side will get to either Woodruff or Hader, but I could see Anderson for Adolfo (who I’ve always liked).I think Vaughn is going to be an elite hitter. I’d be torn on a Vaughn/Dunning for Hader trade (Sox would probably need a lower level prospect there too).
Hader I can see but I’ll be shocked if they move Woodruff
Yea. If Hader is going to be used as he has been, I’m getting on board with a trade. I don’t see why they’d trade Woodruff.
Saw this tweet from yesterday.https://twitter.com/regionrat14/status/1299737716259729413?s=21I just can’t see a homegrown pitcher like Woodruff with as much control that he has be someone the Brewers trade. Unless it’s part of a package for an already elite MLB starter.
It’s a tweet from a Sox season ticket holder. Who’s apparently in fantasy land the Brewers will relinquish an all star closer they control for three more seasons, and a starter they control four more seasons. All you need to know. I can’t imagine the package Stearns would want back for both. One exec said he wants a ridiculous return for Hader alone. Which it should be. No hurry to move either guy unless a ton is coming back.
Edit: Bob Nightengale (so take it fwiw) is reporting the deal may involve Engel and Kopech as Cleveland's return.Perhaps Clevinger's dumbassery ends up helping the White Sox.
Clevinger goes to SD.
