Who would be your trade target at this point?

Post by Seattle or Bust » Mon May 16, 2022 6:21 am

Boston is in last place at 13-21.

In an effort to rejuvenate this offense I'd trade for Xander Bogaerts and JD Martinez.

Both of them are in the last year of their deal (Bogaerts because he's not going to exercise his player option). I'd try to include Suarez as a salary dump while Boston rebuilds (sort of like what we did with Jay Bruce and Edwin E) and include a package of young prospects. I'd work to extend both of them. Martinez is a great DH. Bogaerts can be the 3B of the future.

One way to circumvent F/A's not wanting to come here.

Xander is a weird fit because he is a SS. We could make him play 2B but good lucking trying to resign him after that.

JD did play some OF last season but Jerry prob views him as a pure DH so doesn't fit his twisted mold of weak hitters that can play all over like Toro for your DH.

If we are using Dipotos perspective he has never shown interest in short term rentals

Another idiotic philosophy because cost is relatively minimal and if they suck you can just let them walk.

Tyler Anderson was a short term rental, so was Denard Span.

Id say get JD, but that makes it really tough for Kyle Lewis to get many AB. They shouldn't save a spot for Lewis, but they will.

Unless they are calling him up for today, then there is no reason to expect him to be ready the next 3 weeks

How on God's green earth is this even possible after a year and a half.

The tables have turned. Boston is ahead of the Mariners in the WC race. Is there anything they could use as a rental?
