I HATE trading position players for pitchers, but it’s all star week and the Sox will need a high level, controllable starter for the next few years, if not this season with Rodriguez going down with what looks like a serious injury. . Now, I love Devers BUT would you do this then buy a third baseman in the off season and hope Chavis or Dalbec can reach MLB in the next two years? Yeah you’re giving up a lot but you’re getting a lot back - a potential #2 starter with #1 days in him.

I'm not sold on Snell as a top-line tarter and dealing for him seems like a real "buy high" proposition.
I had wondered on whether there was any chance ERod, Benintendi and a couple of prospects would get DeGrom and Asdrubal. But I doubt the Mets would actually move DeGrom. And the injury would complicate that.

Thats an even worse trade, E-rod, Benni and a couple of prospects for 30 yr old Degrom. That trade reminds me of the time when a poster here said that for us to get Stanton we will have to start by giving them Betts and lol. Well you know what I mean.

He may be 30, but he's a top 10 Pitcher, and maybe top 5. As good as our team is, the pitching staff isn't really built for the postseason, and a dominant Starter is worth more than near anything in baseball.
Though I'd be happier to deal the deal for Syndergaard. But I suspect the price would be higher.

When I saw this on the ticker on the left of the homepage, I was afraid that this was a transaction that had been completed as opposed to one that was a fan proposal.

Though I'd be happier to deal the deal for Syndergaard. But I suspect the price would be higher. Benintendi is on pace for 6 WAR with a possible (probable) higher peak given that he’s in his second full year and has 4 years of control at age 24. DeGrom has less control and is 6 years older and probably peaking now, and is a higher injury risk as a pitcher regardless. End of proposal, before adding Rodriguez. |

Snell's home/road splits are intense.

Yeah you’re giving up a lot but you’re getting a lot back - a potential #2 starter with #1 days in him. Theoretically it would allow them to go after Machado, and Snell would make Porcello and Pomeranz expendable to cover most of it and prob get at least one high-quality prospect back. Interesting proposal. But I genuinely think Devers is going to break out big, and I’d need to see more back for the extra control year and the position player vs pitcher injury risk. Plus, yeah, as Beasley says you gotta wonder how much he’s helped by the Trop. |

I think if this were a video game, this deal would be done, but you have 2 rivals in the same division trading young generational talent with one another in this scenario. I just don't think you would ever see it.
