Eduardo Nunez; Perfect fit for what is needed on the Red Sox. Add in Hunter Strickland (28yrs, 2017 Salary $555,000, Earliest Arb Eligible 2018, Earliest Free Agent 2022) & SF becomes a 1 stop shopping center for all the Red Sox needs at the trade deadline.

Here is what Lowrie is owed;
2017 age 33 $6,500,000
2018 age 34 *$6,000,000 $6M Team Option, $1M Buyout
Earliest Free Agent: 2018
He does seem to be injured a lot & that is a concern. I wouldn't be opposed to him but wouldn't be willing to give Chavis.

Josh Harrison (Pittsburgh Pirates) is a 3B/2B/OF who Bats & Throws Right Handed. He could be a valuable Utility Player or even a starting 3B. Is he to expensive for the Sox to acquire? Would he be a better starter/back up then Marrero or Rutledge?
2017 age 28/29 $7,750,000
2018 age 29/30 $10,250,000
2019 age 30/31 *$10,500,000 $10.5M Team Option, $1M Buyout
2020 age 31/32 *$11,500,000 $11.5M Team Option, $500k Buyout
Earliest Free Agent: 2019

Why is Velazquez pitching on the 25th? Why not follow up Price with Sale & Pomeranz?

He will get to Boston in August, a week or two after the trade deadline. I think he (should) gets promoted to AAA any day now.

I think the Red Sox miss Brock Holt and I think the biggest hole on the team right now is a back up infielder. San Francisco is falling fast & Nunez will turn 30 in a few days & a free agent at the end of the year. He can play 3B, SS, 2B, & OF, is a good Right Handed hitter with some power and can steal bases. Perfect fit for what is needed on the Red Sox.
What would it take to get him?

When Pedroia comes back on Friday the Sox should return Rutledge to Colorado send down Marrero and add Court.
Devers should be promoted to AAA & Chavis to AA.

He is having a good year in AAA. Has he finally put it all together? Is he a better option then Rutledge and/or Marrero?
When Pedroia comes back on Friday should the Sox return Rutledge to Colorado send down Marrero and add Court?

This team needs another Bat. If Seattle falls completely out of it in the next 30 days maybe the Red Sox can get Cruz.
This is what he is owed; 2017 36yrs Seattle Mariners $14,250,000 2018 37yrs Seattle Mariners $14,250,000
JBJ for Cruz

With 3 RHP scheduled to start the series for Seattle will Sam Travis get a start? Or will he be on the bench for all 3 games and only be used as a pinch hitter?

He has looked good here in Portland & has been a pleasant surprise (at least to me). Could he get to AAA this year? Will he/should he be protected from the rule 5 draft this December? Would he get selected if not protected?

When they get back home from this road trip I hope to see some roster moves.
This team needs another Bat.
Hopefully Panda & Holt will both be ready to come of the DL.
I think Rutledge should be sent back to Colorado.
I think Marrero should be sent down.
I think Selsky should be called up.
I think Sam Travis should be added & called up.
I think Velazquez should be sent down.
I think with Mondays off day they should adjust the Pitching Rotation and Brian Johnson should get the start if David Price is not ready on the 27th.

I could see him being moved as a "you have to take him if you want José Quintana" deal.

JBJ should be a 4th Outfielder. A defensive specialist that comes into the game in the later innings. He should not be a regular starter getting to bat in the 6th inning down by 1 with men on 1st & 3rd.

So since the end of his hitting streak last May 26th, he has 21 HR in 478 at-bats with an OPS of .710 and great defense, and this supposed to be unacceptable? Is that the premise here? Yes, and those 21 Home Runs accounted for 32 of his 61 RBIs. He had 13 solo shots, 5 2run HRs & 3 3run shots. So, only 29 RBIs in his other 113 games

I don't understand the question. Are there other, potentially better options available? There's no minor leaguer knocking on the door begging for playing time. I like Young but think he'll get exposed playing full time. Plus, jbj's babip last time I checked was fairly low. He's streaky and been somewhat unlucky this season. We have more pressing problems (re: third base and bullpen and fifth starter) than a streaky center fielder with good power and plus defense. Or am I missing something? I don't understand the question - The Question is; How long should the Red Sox wait on JBJ? Are there other, potentially better options available? - Yes, Young & Selsky. Holt when he is back (though he should probably man 3B) am I missing something? - Yes, JBJ is a hole in the line up

How long should the Red Sox wait on JBJ?
Since the end of his hitting streak last May 26th JBJ has played in 134 games with 478 At Bats. He has 109 Hits in that span for an Average of .228 with 21 Home Runs, 61 RBIs, 77 Runs Scored, 8 Stolen Bases, 53 Walks & 131 Strike Outs. His On Base % is around 300, Slugging is around 400 & his OPS is around 710.
For his career he has had 1338 At Bats with 1 good hitting streak of 100 At Bats; with 42 Hits for a .420 Average, 496 On Base %, 800 Slugging & a 1259 OPS.
Yes, he plays GREAT Defense.
But is it enough to carry such poor Offense?

This team needs another Bat
JBJ for Kemp
2017 32yrs Atlanta Braves $21,750,000 10.049 $3.5M paid by Los Angeles Dodgers, $2.5M paid by San Diego Padres
2018 33yrs Atlanta Braves $21,750,000 $3.5M paid by Los Angeles Dodgers, $2.5M paid by San Diego Padres
2019 34yrs Atlanta Braves $21,750,000 $3.5M paid by Los Angeles Dodgers, $2.5M paid by San Diego Padres
Get Atlanta to pay 2.75M in '17, '18 & '19 bringing what the Sox would have to pay him down to 13M each year

I can't believe they have to bring up Kyle Kendrick for the start tonight. How many Home Runs will he give up tonight? I hope I'm wrong but I think the Orioles are going to crush him.
Thornburg to the 60 Day DL (Great trade Dave)
Hernandez to the 10 Day DL
Kendrick Added to the 40 Man & Activated

The Sox sure could use a 3B. To bad Shaw is in Milwaukee. Meanwhile... Thornburg is nowhere to be found

I'm watching for any team that has/gets 2 1st round picks in next years (2018) draft. I think Jimmy G could get traded at the trade deadline this year to one of those teams if Brady stays healthy & Brissett develops.
Looks like Cleveland has 2 1st round picks & 2 2nd round picks in 2018, and Buffalo has 2 1st round picks in 2018 as well.
I think Cleveland is positioned well to make a run at Jimmy G at this years trade deadline.

Rutledge should be returned to Colorado Because he's hurt? You realize he can still be put on the DL, yes? Because he is not worth carrying on the roster. There are better hitters/players on the 40 man roster to carry as the 25th man. Yes I realize he is hurt and can be put on the DL. That's what probably saves him from being returned.

Lets take this up again when he gets to 1800 plate appearances. I think you'll all see by then.
