Roman Anthony?

I would really lean towards keeping everyone at the moment since you really don't know what's gonna happen with how they all develop, what they'll end up being good at and injuries etc.

But if they are convinced of Rafaela in CF, and they felt like they had to trade someone, I would trade Duran. It's not because he isn't good, he's obviously very valuable, but right now a lot of his value comes from playing good centerfield defense (who would have thought).

He would have more value to a team who needs a starting CFer than to the Red Sox if they aren't going to play in in CF everyday.

But again, I don't think you need to trade any of them. Having high quality depth is a good thing.

I wouldn't trade Anthony for pitching - it's a lot to give up fir an arm that is likely destined for TJS thecway it goes for most pitchers these days.

Bleis is a long ways way so he diesnt factor in yet at this point.

Anthony is the only guy within a year or two of making the majors, and when he does theyll probably need all 4 guys.

By then Duran is getting close to free agency, we'll know if he and Abreu can hit lefties well enough.

And with a potentially all lefty outfield and the flexibility that Rafaela provides, and the fact that he's righty, there could definitely be a need for him, especially given the likelihood that at least on of them is dealing with injuries.

Ultimately in free agency the Sox need 2 players, an ace starter, a nb d thus us where Corbin Burnes could come into play, and a right masher, which is a much rarer commodity than in year's past, although if Soto were a possibility I'd forego the righty masher thing and happily go with him.

But I think of those two additions (not specifically Soto and Burnes, of course, but the addition of a righty cleanup hitter and a frontline starter)with Anthony providing cheap labor and starring for the Red Sox rather than Anthony traded away and eventually starting elsewhere.

Anthony's ceiling, one that I feel good about his chances of reaching, is all star multiple times. I dont see that with the other 3 outfielders. I see above average potential that they're now fulfilling but not the ceiling Anthony offers and the Sox need those lynchpin all stars to get back to where they need to go.

The offer would have to be overwhelming. I understand the team composition now and going forward is LHH dominant but even in this new frugal era the team has done well bringing in RHH bats on one year deals who've worked out. If this team is cost conscious from now on a layered pipeline of guys contributing on league minimum (or extended very early!) will be a must and can be supplemented with RHH role players.

Tatis is the guy we should be trading Anthony for. I already proposed my deal.

Anthony
Yoshida
Yorke
Blaze
Paulino

We get Tatis/Devers for a decade.

Yep no PEDs and shoulder surgery have zapped his power #s. Who'd have thunk it? If tatis is dealt his AAV goes up to 31M+. Hardly an albatross since he is still a very good player but I think at this point I'd pass on even trading Anthony for tatis straight up.
