The Red Sox are telling other clubs that they have interest in exploring trades for both starters and relievers this summer, Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald reports. It’s all preparatory work at this point, rather than specific trade discussions, but it appears that the club’s path is beginning to be charted.
Boston’s rotation has been marked by intrigue for some time, with Steven Wright‘s emergence, Eduardo Rodriguez‘s return from injury, and the struggles of Clay Buchholz and Joe Kelly among the storylines. While David Price remains the staff ace, with Rick Porcello also locked into a spot, it appears that the team could look either to bolster its depth with a solid veteran or add another top-tier option.
The bullpen, meanwhile, has seen its share of impressive performances and looks to be a strong unit overall. But the loss of Carson Smith and some concerns with Koji Uehara — who, it should be noted, still carries outstanding peripherals — raise the possibility of adding another impact late-inning arm. It’s certainly possible to imagine the organization targeting a power southpaw if it does so. Robbie Ross has signifcantly boosted his swinging strike rate, which is promising, but Tommy Layne continues to issue too many walks and hasn’t been as effective as usual against opposing lefties.
As Drellich notes, while the focus may be on arms, it remains plausible to imagine a move for an outfielder as well. He opines that the club could pursue a left-handed-hitting platoon partner for Chris Young or chase a bigger piece to take over regular duties in left field.
I’m pretty afraid of how overvalued pitchers are going to be on the barren market. But at the end of the day, this team does need another 2-3 type starter and ideally an effective lefty reliever.
The pitching market is going to get ugly (for buyers). Then again,
* if you are a buyer ‘if you think you need it (one last piece), you need it’.
* if you are a seller, ‘OK then, take it or leave it… I can sit on my assets or talk to 2-3 other teams’
Scary environment (for teams other than the mets, Rays, Indians)
I think they should keep asking the A’s about gray. Yes billy beane keeps saying he’s not available but he said the same thing with Donaldson and then traded him to Toronto so keep asking about him billy will bite eventually.
Its not that grays unavailable. Its that your gm isnt going to like what hes going to ask for gray.
Sonny Gray and way lesser guys for Ball Ramos Travis Devers Johnson Espinoza. Its negotiable, but not by much.
Travis Devers and Espinosa? That’s steep.
That probably isn’t enough!!
I think thats a good start to talks but I can’t see the sox parting with Espiniza, especially with Gray having such a down season. To me a fair trade idea for both teams would be something like:
Devers
Swahart
Travis
Owens
Marroio
Ball
Coyle
Kopech
Ramos
For
Gray
Hill
Doolittle
Would they give up one of there outfielders plus more for Tehran
If by one of their outfielders you mean JBJ or Betts, then that would be a strong no. Those guys are worth far more than Teheran, both right now and in the future.
I’d agree about Betts but I’m not so sure about JBJ. He’s had 2 very strong months in his career (August of last year and this past May) and aside from those 2 months, he’s been mediocre at best.
JBJ has a career 93 OPS (153 this year). Tehran has a 110 ERA (138 this year).
Jackie Bradley has been a star level player since 2015. He is worth a ton more than a number 3 starter
Wrong!! JBJ has 2-3 good months since he’s been in majors!!
In the last 2.5 seasons , he’s only had a .700 OPS in 4 months. (Though 2 of the 4 are this season)
Since the start of last year, JBJ has been worth 4.7 fWAR in 131 games. That is a star’s level. Maybe he isn’t quite that good, but he is clearly a very good defender that is a well above average hitter now. He isn’t worth trading to Braves for Viczaino, Folty, and Teheran combined.
JBJ has been now a spectacular player for 132 games
We’ll betts is 10x more valuable than Julio Terhan, so that’s probably not happening.
Jbj for Teheran is interesting, but not sure the redsox would do that either.
Ideally, Swihart centering a trade for Teheran May have worked, but he’s injured. Doubt the redsox trade either Moncada or benintendi for a #3 like Teheran either. Devers would make sense
Swiharts value has dropped significantly. He cannot catch, and his bat is poor for an OFer. Plus as you mentioned, he’s injured. There is no way he’d be the centerpiece in a trade for Teheran
Thats bogus, Swihart can catch and has caught the Sox a big portion of last season, while hitting on par for a catcher. He would be catching anywhere else but Vazquez is the man. Any team with no good catching prospects would love to have him. He is league average at his worst and league best at his best.
Once upon a time there was anouther catcher in Boston that had trouble with knuckle ballers and his name was Veritek… I guess he couldn’t catch either
Try league average catcher at ‘best’ and left fielder without corner power at worst … MB923 is right …
The example of ‘any team with no good catching prospects would love to have him’ only applies if also that same team ‘had no other options.’
Swihart couldn’t catch a horrible pitching staff, what makes anyone think a team would let him catch a decent (or a good) pitching staff..
If you want to compare ‘what good looks like’, look at what Lucroy provides and ask if swihart has ‘any’ of the same upside (receiving, throwing out base runners, hitting, power, avg)…
Stop calling Teheran a #3.
LOL. Already comparing him behind the plate to Varitek??? If he (Swihart) could Catch, he wouldn’t be playing in the OF, would he?
Varitek had a career DRS of -2 from 2002-2011. That is in large part due to one poor season in 2005. There’s no data before 2002 so obviously this is in the latter of his career. He ranked 8th out of 12 qualifying catchers (which seems like a poor ranking, though it isn’t)
Over the past 2 years, Swihart isn’t listed as Qualified. So if we go to unqualified, it lists 116 Catchers. Would you like to know where Swihart is ranked? That would be 115th. But yeah let’s blame that poor ranking due to 1 pitcher I guess.
Swihart has caught 740 innings. Only 70 of those innings were when Wright was pitching. So you can’t argue and say Wright is the reason his ranking is poor if Wright has pitched less than 10% of his time that Swihart has been behind the plate.
Not sure where you are getting your information about Swihart being a league average catcher at his worst and league best at his best. Last year STATISTICALLY Swihart was the absolute bottom of all catchers in defensive runs saved with a – 9 DRS (the lower numbers, such as negatives are worst). The only other catcher close to him was AJ Pierzynski with -8 DRS (and AJP had caught substantially more innings than Swihart 909.2 compared to 688.0 for Swihart)..
Swihart was also second in the majors in passed balls with 16 which was 3 behind Russel Martin.. Martin caught 994.0 innings compared to the 688.0 innings caught by Swihart. If Swihart had continued his current pace of passed balls and worked the same number of innings as Martin then he would had accumulated 23 passed balls.
The statistics do not back up your opinion of Swihart at all.
The truth is the vast majority of fans tend to value their favorite teams players and prospects higher than other teams fans do. It happens with Braves fans in valuing Teheran and it certainly happens to Red Sox fans as well when valuing their own prospects/players.
What?!?! Russell Martin had that many passed balls?? I wonder why that could be….. and Swihart too?? Let’s put you and MB’s quarter brains together to figure this one out.
What type of pitchers pitched for Toronto and Boston and nowhere else last year? Would that be knuckball pitchers? OMG!! RAB Commenter….. are you suggesting the Knuckleball is a difficult pitch to catch and leads to many passed balls? Why yes…. yes, I am. Swihart caught for Wright last year and Martin caught for R.A..
But lets not let that get in the way of Future hall of Famer talk.
He has a FIP and XFIP over 4. He’s a #3
Teheran is a 3, he isn’t a front of rotation arm.
RAB Commentator , check the sample size for Swihart you troll. 740 innings caught. 70 with Wright behind the plate. You’re acting as if it’s the Opposite (670 for Wright and 70 for pitchers not named Wright). If anyone has a “quarter brain”, it’s you and everyone who calls Swihart a good catcher. If he was a good catcher, he wouldn’t be moved to the OF. I see you have made Zero argument against that. Oh wait, because there is none.
Look everyone at RAB knows you’re Dan the troll who’s an inside the closet Red Sox fan.
I would say that Vazquez plays into this equation. If there’s no Vazquez he’s the sox catcher moving forward.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia might be a decent comp.
Id give Julio up for betts and yohan machonda
That’s a non-starter.
LOL Julio isnt worth betts and moncada……
Maybe ball, espinoza, devers, and 1 other prospect in the 10-20 range but certainly not betts and moncada.
Betts alone is worth twice as much as Teheran, as you would know if you were the type of person not to choose the username you have.
Why wouldn’t you that would be an insanely good trade for braves but it would never happen cause betts>Teheran
Betts alone is way more valuable than Teheran
troll
Red Sox Interested In Both Starters And Relievers And Position Players Who Are In Shape To Play Everyday
Braves have trade for you Terhan , Perez or Norris , Johnson ,Krol , Olivia , markakis and Braves will take panda if you equal salary of Olivia but they would want moncada , swihart , groome Light , Johnson , ball and either benintendi or Travis and com pic next year and international pool money
Why don’t we give you Bogaerts and Betts too while we’re at it?
And a time machine with Ortiz so you can make him 10 years younger
You forgot about the Sox throwing in 2 years supply of Oreos for the rest of this season.
So a #3 starter and a bunch of throw ins for 4 top level young talents…
Throw in vizzy and Free man and maybe they’d consider
Teheran/vizciano/Ozzie Albies/LHP (Krol) to Red Sox
Moncado/Benintendo/Swihart to Braves
Reasoning- Moncado blocked at 2nd, redsox OF is really good (Castillo not great). Albies softens lose of Moncado, Red Sox get 3 controllable arms for the next 4 plus seasons.
Braves get a legit bat (Moncado) and 2 very good hitting prospects.
Works for both teams.
Getting better than most proposals, but for some reason do not feel Sox are the ones to deal with.
Braves ain’t trading Ozzie Albies. He’s got a much brighter future than Moncada.
That’s unlikely. Moncada has significantly more power
A laughable proposal
Haha….I think they call that fleecing, Arizona style!!!
Just say no to drugs
Why do you keep proposing these ridiculously outrageous 20 player trades? These trades are not at all realistic or worth even talking about. If you said Atl will trade Teheran and Viz for….then ok but Boston doesn’t need/want Olivera or Markakis.
Plus you clearly have no clue about the rules of draft picks….Boston will not have a draft pick they can trade. Plus compensation picks can’t be traded either.
Is there any chance, any chance whatsoever, that the Pads would be willing to offer Drew Pomeranz? Basically could they be in a complete sell mode?
Because of his controllability, low cost, and age….and the fact that he is doing well this year, they would probably ask for the farm. Not that they should get it, but they would. A better (potentially) ask would be Ross. Coming off injury, no numbers this year, could be a huge pick up for the BoSox…wouldn’t be super cheap but still has another year and is bonafide number 2-3 already. Wicked slider on the kid.
To be honest I’m not really concerned about the price tag, just whether or not he could be on the market. Even at a high price he could be a long term answer for the Sox.
Ross still isn’t even pitching at all. If he makes it back this season, which I doubt, it won’t be until after the trade deadline. he doesn’t have much trade value right now.
But he is already a proven 2-3 starter with one more year left…that is what I said. Pom will be more expensive right now since he is on a tear and is controllable where as Ross will be cheaper so to speak (not cheap by any means) but less valuable because he is down right now. Just calling it like I see it…Ross is not made of glass. He will be, why would they rush him for this crap year they are having? They would love to have a healthy trade bait to dangle but again, he will be here next year (unless traded).
I think they should cause his value will probably never be higher and they need a rebuild
Not disagreeing with you….but they wont “give” him away.
Seen enough of Cashner, Ross, and Pomerantz… Not sold on any!…A’s have the movable pieces with short term contracts that are more reasonable and have produced far more then the fore mentioned Bravos or Padre players
Yeah…cause them A’s are tearing up the place (stats and wins)…short of Hill (now injured), who is having such a great year that they “produced far more” than the Pads or Braves staff? Just curious, cause Im sure they arent bragging about the year they are having…even Grey is having a crap year (in his standards), but go on and educate us about the All Star staff I am missing.
I really like Pomeranz since he was a prospect. Hes looking great this year and he is cheap. He wouldnt take a lot of prospects because of his injury prospects. Devers and maybe Ball would do it. If im Dombrowski ill already call the Padres for him. We could also consider Ross because right now his value is down.
Teheran, Vizcaino, and Tyrell Jenkins for Moncada, Devers, and Benintendi
Julio Teheran has finally stabilized himself as a low 2, high 3, with one hell of a contract that greatly improves his value to other teams.
Also, Vizzy, now that he is healthy, is one of the more dominant closers trotting out of the bullpen in the NL.
Tyrell Jenkins could be either a pretty solid bullpen piece, or he could become a young piece to add to the back-end of the rotation for Boston. Whichever role they needed Jenkins to fill, I’m sure he could provide value for their team.
JT also has a FIP of 4.14 and also has a horrible HR/9 rate. In other words, red flags to pitch in Fenway.
How bout just Tehran/Viz for Benintendi/Devers
Braves would like Moncada but his contract is $31 million. Might be too rich for them
Sorry, but I think you are confused about the 31,5 million you are indicating here. That money plus another 31,5 million penalty was just to have him sign with the Red Sox. That means before he even put on a RS uniform it cost them a total of 63,0 million to play for the RS. At this moment there is no further money commitment with Moncada. Nevertheless, Red would never trade Moncada for anyone less than a Joe Fernandez or Mike Trout type of player. So for now this will not happen…
Comparing Moncada’s value to Trout and Jose Fernandez is pretty ignorant. Dude is in A Advanced.
At no point did he comparw Moncada’s value to Mike Trout; he is merely stating that any deal that includes Moncada/Benintendi will be for a much better player than Julio Teheran.
Listen, Teheran is a nice piece, but the Red Sox are not going to piss away their future on a decent SP with a nice xontract.
And Ozzie Albies does not have a brighter future outlook than Yoan Moncada, as you asserted above. That’s absurd.
Albies may not have a brighter future than Moncada, but I wouldn’t think he doesn’t have a bright future. Don’t forget Albies will be 19 all season this year and is in AAA while Moncada is a 21 year old in high A. Both players still have a lot of adjusting and growing to do before either is considered anything more than a high talent minor league prospect.
Is it moncadas fault he wasn’t even in the country at 19? He sat out a year from organized ball and is ready to make the climb. Comparing age and and level doesn’t work in this case.
Thanks Salad F, you got my point right on.
I think braves would be willing to start spending. They are baseballs version of the Sixers and need to excite fanbase
If they wanna go for some less flashy names the Phillies have, SP Helickson, LH LF Asche, & RP’s Gomez, Nerris, Hernadez, Bailey.
Not Bailey. We had him couple of years ago and it was not pretty
If Tyson Ross proves hes healthy by the deadline sox could buy low on a groundball pitcher
Preller has shown a willingness to not sell low on guys. Upton kennedy shields kimbrel/gyorko. He doesnt get what he thinks is fair he has no issue holding on to him and trying over the winter.
Last year yankees offered mateo and others for kimbrel and roughly half of gyorkos contract. He balked at that and dealt kimbrel for margot allen guerrera and asjuae. Dealt gyorko and little cash for jon jay. Which jon jay has.put together a great season and is going to be dealt. So he got more for kimbrel and gyorko then the yankees offered.
So i wouldnt consider it a lock preller sells low on ross. Still has 1 more year remaining.
And he’s also made mistakes. Where he should have shopped Shields and gotten Fulmer so the jury remains out. Is he more intent on trading a little lower seeing that they are going to spend huge on the international market. Or will he keep Ross knowing that shoulder injuries are extremely problematic and could return nothing. IMO I think he keeps Ross to try and have him rebuild value.
I know trade within a division don’t happen, but the the Sox could use Andrew Miller, and a Moncada plus a lesser prospect could get it done maybe.
Agree sox could use miller, but so could every other contending team. Sox fans have to begin to accept the notion that Moncada no longer has ‘top 100’ value (too many teams have now seen Moncada play ‘away from the island’) and (ref above) Swihart has more value ‘not’ as a catcher, which means his overall value is drastically diminished (is his bat a ‘top 100’ bat? No… Is he a ‘top 100’ corner outfielder? No.
Swihart is a very good prospect (probably better than Moncada), but where does he ‘slot’ now that he has proven he won’t be a stud ML catcher?
What are you talking about? Moncada is batting 300/419/476 in high-A as a 21-year old? Those are insanely good numbers. He’s also stolen 35 bases in 56 games and has a K:BB ratio of 56:40. These are elite numbers and make him not only untouchable but easily a top-100 prospect, probably a top-10 one, actually.
Laughable
Well if he was a “good player” he still wouldnt be in low ball.
I make fun of RS as much as anyone (so easy) but in this case you’re way off. Moncada is easily a Top 10 in baseball prospect. Some consider him the best position player prospect in the game.
I hope this comment was sarcasm, but if not…well, teams generally send their prospects up the ladder, one level at a time. He spent last season in low A, this year he’s in high-A. I would guess he’ll get jumped to double-A this season and spend a bit of time in AAA next year before making the majors.
He’s very young for the league – he’s a year and a half younger than the average player in the league. He is the #3 prospect in baseball according to BA and the #7 prospect according to BP and MLB.com.
Wonderful logic going being discussed today…..
Huh? Moncada is a Top 10 prospect. Swihart is no longer a prospect and even if he was, his ranking would drop significantly.
Swihart at this point is nothing more than an injured quasi catcher quasi outfielder. He might improve with the bat somewhat but he has shown horrible defense so far as a catcher and his bat (even at it’s best) profiles as a below average left fielder. Those types of players scream “I’m a back up at best”.
The RS may challenge for a playoff spot but with 100 games to play they have a lot of “iff’s.”
If they trade from their present 40 their isn’t much there teams would take.
Travis gone for the year. Swihart will take months to rehab a bad ankle. Kelly and Buch are a mess. Hanley is mired in a slump–looks awful at the plate. Panda done for the season. Holt may be a month away with concussion. It’s amazing they are 1 game out.
I would hesitate trading some of their top prospects when they are an injury to Ortiz, Pedroia, Vazquez, Betts, Xander, JBJ away from being out of the race–yes this early.
Be patient Sox fans–if BB wants to move Gray–he will be in touch with DD. Tehran, if available–the Braves know every jewell the Sox have. Espinoza is not leaving the Sox.
Sit tight BB and see if Elias can fill the 5 th slot in two more weeks or give Buch another shot. We are not desperate yet. I would like Miller back.
Watch out for the Yanks–Miller, Betances and Chapman with a lead after 6 are just about unbeatable.
Your scheme is also valid for any of the the other 29 teams in the MLB. RS just like anybody else will always needs to identify the best depth available in the market at the moment to strengthen their weakest positions. Since you’ll never know when you’re forced to use it.
Julio is not going to the Red Sox unless they get desperate. He is not an AL East SP. I think the Red Sox will make a move for Pomeranz. I don’t know who they give up but I think he fits more their style.
For the right team Julio is a solid number 2 but could also be a real good number 3. With room for improvement. He is young and cost controlled so a team would not only get a quality SP that has really only had 1 bad year but they get potential in a deal as well because he is still young enough to grow into what he was projected to be.
I can see the Red Sox making a move for Krol although the return to the Braves would be minimal.
I think an Upton/Pomeranz package would make sense for both teams. Now Red Sox fans what would you give up and Padre fans what would you want ?
Braves Fans- stop making trade proposals to the RS.. just wait for some rumors.
I, personally, was and still for trading with the Pirates.. Meadows is much better than any prospect we can get imo and even if we do Teheran for Austin Meadows straight up, I’d be doing flips.
Keep reading that Boston needs relievers and it’s just not true. What they need (should) do is stop see-sawing Hembree back and forth to the minors when he’s been one of the most stable forces in the pen, just because he has minor league options. Just DFA Layne, he’s only good against LH hitters and awful vs RH hitters. Let someone else have him if they want him.
Also? Stop throwing Hembree, or Barnes out there for 2-3IP at a time as long relievers, or 1 at least. 1 can be the setup guy to Taz for the 7th-8th inning. Barnes might walk a lot, but hitters just flat out are not getting around on his 97+FB this season after he show them his curve and Hembree? He comes out throwing 94-6 with a filthy slider in his 1st inning of relief and during the 2nd-3rd successive inning? The velo drops to the 92-3 range, making his slider a bit more hittable for a 2 pitch pitcher.
IF Bucholz HAS to take up a spot? Use him and Ross as long guys.

Whats his temperment? is he a good clubhouse guy? can he handle the pressure of boston? what will it take to acquire him? Of course the longer the contract on a team friendly deal the better, the shorter the contract on an expensive contract tbe better. But its a total oversimplification

Now does that help you little
I commend your dedication to this but this chart is perhaps the most muddled and confusing thing I’ve ever looked at in my life.
Also every one of these pitchers are right handed .
I really like Pomeranz since he was a prospect. Hes looking great this year and he is cheap. He wouldnt take a lot of prospects because of his injury prospects. Devers and maybe Ball would do it. If im Dombrowski ill already call the Padres for him. We could also consider Ross Because right now his value is down.
What is funny to me…is last summer Diamondbacks fans said their GM would never ever ever….about 1000 times….but he did….one thing has become overly noticeable over the years….GM’s (actual GM’s paid to do this for a living) value prospects and players much differently than their fans think they do…personally I would rather see the Braves match up with the Yankees in a Teheran Freeman plus….for Miller, Judge, Bird, and Sanchez…..maybe a little back and forth between the AL East mega monies will get what Coppy wants….amazing thing is Braves dont have to trade anyone…can sit tight for as long as they want too…there is little to no pitching avail that can match the stats or contract of Teheran….if someone wants him the will pay…and they will pay huge…
lets not forget the good ol’ Frank Wren who did such a wonderful job dismantling the Braves farm system and blowing out our budget on bad contracts is now a VP to something / an adviser to the BoSox GM….might be time for some pay back lol….
Hope they trade for Sonny Gray or Thor
Those pitcher will never be trade gray is face of franchise and Thor well it’s mets I now but at end of the day there still in New York they will never going to trade them and beside both are pre arb players there is no need to trade them the same think is to be said with Fernandez and the Marlins so you all need stop with your pipe dream those team would have to get every team farm systems and2 all ready budding super star ml player so stop dreaming Red Sox fans
Sox need an outfielder, starter and reliever. Would consider calling the Padres for Myers, Pomeranz/Ross and Rodney. A Benitendi, Swihart, Devers, Owens package could work. Would also consider giving the Mets Shaw and a high pitching prospect for Harvey and putting Moncada at 3B.
Travis Shaw for Matt Harvey? That’s not a real proposal, is it?

Ow bye the way j is julio Tehran so you see he better then all of you think Tehran look better when you look at his age statices and his very team friendly contact so I hope you now realize why the Braves would want so much for him and if you look at what you all call number 1 you mite be surprise how closer to the number are not adding his contract and age so take time to look up numbers since you all think he not worth what Braves fan have been saying he worth
