Odds And Ends: Fields, Grilli, Boras, D'Backs

I'm betting the D'Backs con someone into overpaying for either Garland or Davis, or both.

Lopez to the Cubs, release Miles unless he has options, give a few AA players to Arizona.

There are other agents in baseball?!

I don't believe it.

So are the White Sox buyers or sellers? If they are buyers how about Bedard to the Sox for 3B Fields(MLB) and 2B CJ Retherford(AA)? This can give Fields another shot with another team. It also gives the Sox an Allstar caliber pitcher.

You MUST be a Sox fan?

"Gavin McCourt, the son of Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, was drafted by the Red Sox. The 39th round pick says Scott Boras wouldn't fit into his "family dynamics," so his dad will represent him, according to the LA Times ."

Wouldn't that be a conflict of interest? The owner of the Dodgers representing a player negotiating with the Red Sox?

Fields needs a change of scenery and Baltimore is a pefect fit. How about Wigington and cash for Fields. White Sox get a 3b with pop who is not playing with the O's. The O's get a young 3b that will get a full time chance.

Now if I would have posted a third player there all I would be reading is how the Sox wouldn't give all that up for a rental. But if I put up an expendable player plus a second base prospect with power for a rental people think I would be giving Bedard away. There is just no way to win! Ha. And for the record im an M's fan. I want them to extend Bedard but I don't think they will.

M's can get a hell of a lot more than that for Bedard. KW would personaly drive cross-country to deliver those two players for Bedard.

and i bet he'd apologize to fields too, LOL...

I'm not sure how this works out for the Sox. They would move fields to make room for Beckham not another 3B.
Sox can put Beckham where he belongs at ss and Ramirez can move back to 2b. Wigington can play 1b,2b,3b,of and he hits with pop. If the O's paid all the money I don't know what the loss would be to the Sox.

The Wigginton for Fields move would be brilliant for the White Sox. Then they can leave the young infielders alone with Getz, Beckham, and Ramirez. If the O's paid all the money, what does it hurt to have a versatile player, like Wigginton, coming off the bench and playing practically everyday while they rest some of their key veterans.

I don't think the Sox would trade Fields for Wigginton. I think they'll trade Fields to the Astros who really need a 3B right now. They're starting Blum who's done a good job but is a better bench player/pinch hitter. I'd say something like Fields for Arias, and prospects. Arias is a good RP that could turn into a great set up guy. The Sox need another bullpen arm badly. And I am really tired of seeing Fields strike out every At-bat, its annoying.

trade field for wigginton?! thanks the stupidest thing ive ever heard.SO 5 homers this year is pop huh? and how bout that 235 batting average, yea we could sure use another under performing player on are team. and btw i dont like fields either but y would we bring in another old veteran when are team is filled with that to begin with, which is one of are problems.
