Would you include Dylan Bundy in a trade for Johnny Cueto?

I don't see any top tier assets headed our way unless we have a Competitive Balance pick to trade.

I wouldn't be against Cueto/Bruce from Cin and Smith from Mil added though. The farm system would basically be the top 10 guys in the GCL, Stewart and the AAAA players in Norfolk..

I'd include Bundy in a package for Cueto and Bruce provided Cueto's health could be verified.

They're not selling to us.

Probably not. From Bill James, noted Red Sox employee, on his web site on July 8, 2015:

Hey, Bill, I noticed old friend Felix Doubront had a good game last night, as did old friends John Lackey and Jon Lester the previous night. That leads me to ask whether, if everything else is equal, you'd rather trade a player to the other league or at least another division than to a division rival, or whether that's not even a consideration. For me as a Red Sox fan, I'd rather see John Lackey beat the Cubs than see him beat the Red Sox. If Chris Archer beats the Red Sox, well, it's still a loss for the Sox but there isn't that feeling that he could be on our team but for a trade.Asked by: flyingfish

We don't normallly trade within our division, but not exactly for the reasons you suggest. We assume that the player we trade is going to help the team he is going to. We don't WANT to help the Orioles; we dont want to help the Yankees--therefore, we don't normally trade with them.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!

      While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.

      I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.

      Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.

      Starters vs Minnesota?

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Povich is off vs Detroit at least. Even if they carry a 9 man pen, Doubt that 5 will be left handers

      I hate to say it because they are all eligible to succeed or fail ( DC just coming back ), would probally go with Soto.
