JD's contract is an absolute steal anyways, and Price clearly earned his paycheck. I think the Sox could land Realmuto though, did you see the meh return the Marlins got on Stanton? lol. Bet Blake Swihart and Bobby Dalbec would get us Realmuto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd need to offer Hiura+ to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you don't. Maybe academically you could argue that the Red Sox could trade their top 6 guys or something, but the Marlins seem to be prioritizing a quality lead piece instead of depth.

Chavis, Casas, Groome, Dalbec, Hernandez, Houck are all good prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And none of them are good enough to headline. As dumb as the Marlins are, they have leverage. There are at least a few teams that need Realmuto, and he's cheap. They aren't going to give him away to get out from under his contract like Stanton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like a few of them are 100% good enough to headline a deal for JT Realmuto. We ain't trading for Mike Trout here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd probably ask the Red Sox for Devers. Saying you can gather some scraps together and equal a Hiura-lead Brewers offer or Kyle Tucker lead Astros offer is Mets fan internet commenter bad.

And he doesn't quite have that positional value to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devers lol, they ain't that dumb. I think Swihart has more value than common fans think, dude has the makings to be a good C offensively and defensively. Sox have a few good pitching prospects and we have a lot of super high potential guys in the low level minors. Sox can get a deal done if they want to, no question.

Tetsujin Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 It'd be sad to see him go, but we'd better get an A+ haul. Kinda surprised if ATL was never in on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I think Realmuto is the fastest timed player in the MLB on the basepaths that isn't a CF, 2B, or SS. And the best "pop time" in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize that Realmuto very easily could be the 3rd most valuable position player on the Red Sox in 2019, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
