call me crazy but what about a trade for Dansby Swanson. the way i look at it, we need a bridge guy to get to mayer, the braves have had talks where they could think about this free agent class with Swanson being a free agent soon. Swanson would immensely help our defense and not be too costly while being able to extend him 4-5 years

Swanson would immensely help our defense and not be too costly while being able to extend him 4-5 years I agree, Swanson is an excellent target. His value is akin to Whitlocks. Would you be willing to give that up for 1 year of a guy who's never had an OBP over .325 in a full season? Why not just give Baez a 5 year deal at that point, and not sacrifice assets

Swanson is gonna need a raise, he'll be looking to make more than what the QO rate is next season. Baez will only cost you money, so yeah I believe the overall sum of the costs is cheaper

Disclaimer: I wouldn't do either what would you do then about a "bridge guy" to mayer If they're insistent on a bridge guy, I'm signing one of Correa, Story, or Baez, or I'm letting it play out this season with Xander, figuring out what he wants to do, and hoping that Downs takes a step forward in development

I dont want Swanson but the reason he wouldn't stay with the braves is they're kind of cheap and may not want to give him a long term deal. They're haggling with Freddy freeman over a 6th year on a deal, which is bananas if you ask me.

Swanson would probably require a longer contract than what the Sox need to cover SS. They might get a 1 or 2 year stopgap. Or maybe X sticks around and stays at SS. Baez or Taylor could sign and man SS fir awhile, but more likely it's X.

Dont get me wrong im excited to follow him and think he's got a good chance to be good but personally I don't think the Sox should be saying we can't sign this SS to a long term deal because we got Mayer. At least not yet, I think hes at least got to be producing in AA before he should even be in their future plans. He wouldn't be the first highly touted player to not pan out.

Looks like the Braves might be looking for a 1B, or at least exploring back up plans;
Dalbec for Kyle Muller
