But I don't see a top 100 prospect in that entire system right now, after Groome blew out his elbow and Chavis was popped for roids. It seems unlikely that the Marlins take a quantity over quality trade for Realmuto, which is all the Red Sox could offer if they aren't including assets already in the bigs. I dont see how Chavis being popped matters in the slightest really. Everyones on gear, he was dumb enough to get caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more than 1 team who's going to want him, he's the best catcher in baseball by at least a win right now and doesn't have no-trade protection. So the Marlins are going easily be able to get a bidding war started, and that means teams are going to end up having to pay exactly what he's worth, which is a buttload. Granted, I wouldn't want the Brewers to make that trade, but I'm pretty confident that's what it costs and my money is on the Dodgers paying that type of price. My money is on the Astros. Friedman certainly could roll that way, but I think he resigns Grandal to a 1 year prove it deal to bridge to gap to Ruiz and Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade for JDG with catching prospect depth, trade for Realmuto, re-sign Kershaw, sincerely try and sign Machado/Harper, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenthal can earn up to 14 million in incentives. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1057702685946900481?s=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, they asked for Robles and didn't move him when the Nats said no. 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.

Thelonebillsfan Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 And yes, the idea that the Red Sox would A) completely gut their entire farm system to the point where it would set the organization back years and years for one player and B) that gutting an already pretty bad farm system would even be enough for the best guy at the most coveted position in baseball is laughable. The Red Sox flatly do not have the bodies to make anything resembling an equitable package. Dismissing the best catcher in baseball, who's only 27, who's got years of team control left, as even remotely equitable to Swihart is absurd. You aren't getting a deal done for table scraps and reclamation projects. You want him, you need a bonafide proven commodity or a top-5 prospect. The Marlins will, and rightfully, ask for Devers or Benintendo in any trade talks. As a starting point. That they took a less than equitable deal to get out from under Stanton's contract because they bought a team they couldn't really afford means nothing to trading a guy that's dirt cheap and under team control until 2021.

But here's Heyman: So a top 25 prospect in baseball, plus a recent first round pick who is already in AA baseball. Not many teams can meet that price, but the ones with catching needs can definitely do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nats get enamored with any player who used to close, instead of actually building a bullpen with players who fit different roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a high asking price. Marlins are smart to move on, feel like Cs fall apart crazy fast which is why more and more make the switch to 1B sooner rather than later. If these rumors are legit the Sox are definitely out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume in particular Kershaw gets a lower AAV for luxury tax flexibility for the team, but more years that ups the total dollar value substantially for the player.
