“Boxberger is not yet arbitration eligible — and the fact that he has only two years of club control remaining to Boxberger’s four”
I think one of those 2 Boxberger’s should say McGee
Steve Adams
Both are in reference to Boxberger. Not yet arb-eligible, four years of club control remaining to McGee’s two.
I changed the dashes to parentheses, if that makes it a bit more clear.
MB923
Yeah it does now. Thanks Steve.

Could be a plan B for the Dodgers or the Padres.

Twins?

I’d be happy with that. Wonder what the price would be.

McGee isn’t quite as splashy as Chapman, but he comes with an extra year of control and is significantly cheaper (not that it much matters to the Dodgers). They are both big lefties with outstanding fastballs. Chapman throws harder, but McGee has much better control. I think McGee will bring a decent return in this market.

Honestly, just about anything would be an upgrade over our ‘pen the last few years. I would be extremely happy with McGee

Phillies need a lefty for the bullpen could see this happening but probably not gonna

It wouldn’t make sense for philly right now . They are not competing for a title this year . So why go after a vet?
PhilliesFan012
Because that’s what the Phillies do, they signed otero Russell Hernandez and frieri for the pen, I don’t think Russell’s gonna be I the pen and with two years of control, he would help them out a bit, the Phillies aren’t as far away from contention as everyone thinks or at least in my mind, they will definitely not be any form of good next year but 2017 could be differant and if not and McGee performs well they flip him for something

If I had to bet my life, I would say the next update will say the Cubs and Rays are nearing a deal. They had a deal two days ago that they were close on, reports in Chicago were that the Cubs slowed these down. I think they needed to get Heyward first, Baez no longer needed in the OF. Hope it happens with Baez + and includes McGee and Cobb.

The market opened up now for the Rays. I see them shopping else where.
raysfan1
I doubt rays would only trade cobb and mcgee for baez+ Cobb can get baez alone
baronbeard
Dodgers would end up giving up a good package for McGee.

Rays don’t even need Baez they have a ton of middle infield depth
lmoffitt
Although it’s true the Rays don’t “need” Baez, his potential power would be welcome, possibly at first base. The Rays should, and probably will, find a way to clear roster a salary space by moving Jennings, Loney, and a middle infielder. Their best return on one of the many middle infielders would be Forsythe, after the solid year he had at 2nd. If offers for Forsythe aren’t solid, hang on to him and let the young guys wait another year.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rays traded with the Dodgers and got a certain troubled Cuban outfielder in return either.
