This *NEW* Red Sox TRADE Proposal Is FANTASTIC!!

50 comments

1. I would be fine with a trade for Lopez but i DON'T want to see Fitts in a trade package, not keen on Hamilton or Abreu headed to Minnesota in a package either. I'd be ok with Crawford and some prospects headed north for Lopez……

2. Again with the middle of the rotation stuff when you need a proven, bona fide front of the rotation starter (like Corbin Burnes), who BTW is there for the signing. Also why is there so much talk about trading away young talent when there are free agents out there? Keep the players on the club and in the farm system and spend some money. That is how you keep your team and system strong. How does it help long term if you KEEP trading talent for talent. The key is to develop and keep talent and keep acquiring more. Not to trade one position to get another or to mortgage your future to make the playoffs now (we are not even talking about winning it all). ???

3. I'd really like this trade however I doubt the twins would do it.

4. We're over here kicking tires and trade ideas while the Yankees are cooking. They just signed Goldy. Still plenty of FA to be had but Sox still acting poor

5. I said a month ago they should be looking at the twins. Correa and Lopez. Both have 20-30m contracts. Twins lost their RSN. Ownership is trying to sell. Owners tend to look to get off of long term deals in lead up to selling the team. It kind of perfectly lines up. Wonder if Kutter/Abreu/Hamilton and a bullpen piece or prospect in the upper minors gets both of them. Then you can move Grissom or Campbell to the OF and your lineup gets balanced pretty quickly.

6. Interesting that now you don't see wins and losses. Times have changed.

7. In your wish list hierarchy you left off Jared Jones… if you could get either Lopez or Jones but not both which would you choose? I am assuming Jones but the cost to get him is higher which may change your decision.

   The Red Sox could reduce the cost a little by agreeing to take the Christian Vazquez contract in a Lopez deal which is one year at $10 million. The Twins are on record as wanting to reduce payroll. I know Vazquez’s bat has dropped off but looking at his savant page he is still an above average receiver in terms of blocking, and framing. Could help a young pitching staff and allow Narvaez to develop at Worcester. I feel the Sox need more depth at catcher.

8. I was lukewarm on Lopez when I first heard about this idea, but you convinced me of his value. Since I see the Sox's true window for contention to be 2026-2030, I prefer someone with a higher ceiling over that period. But given that that's likely not available, this sound solid.

9. I like the Trade !! Mayer I trade !! For that Pitcher 😊

10. Crawford and Hamilton seem like a fair trade. I really like Hamilton, fastest guy in the league, but Story and Mayer will play shortstop and Campbell and Grissom will play 2B. Romy in reserve.

11. Gives up way to many home runs

12. I agree I think he would be a good pick up. David Hamilton would be a decent catch. He’s a young enough and calmer. Why not

13. Talk text had me all wrong. I was saying he’s a young and up and comer. He would be a good catch.

14. I'd love to trade for him, but it all depends on what the Twins want for him.

15. 26 HR in 32 Games?

16. What about Carlos Correa he should be included in that trade

17. I think this proposal is much better than yesterday's singing we need healthy impact players as this pitcher as advertised..
    I feel this can work

18. Yes. Thanks Corbin!

19. Forget about burnes not coming here

20. Don’t you think they want to move Vazquez with a Pablo deal? And aren’t we perfect candidates for a reunion?

21. i love it. would love to have pablo. i do think given price of SPs this offseason, the package could even be Kutter + Wilyer. Would be an overpay but frankly I’d take it. Could then focus free agent $$ on Teoscar plus bullpen and not worry about paying a FA SP.

22. I think it is possible

23. Correa as well

24. Good solid pitcher that could eat up solid innings. Good value

25. While the Stankees get Bellinger and Goldsmith and pitching ..Bosox keep signing rehab lost souls, so forget 2025 at best Bosox might end up kissing ass cellar for the 4th year..Lopez is not the answer, we need power hitters to score runs, the shifty lineup that we have sucks, can't delivered runs..

26. Sox can trade Story for Lopez

27. You know what it makes sense to actually spend some money and get some damn names into this damn team

28. Really love the move you proposed here Corbin.

29. Wouldn't be surprised if the Sox' signed Randal Grichuk. Fits into Coras' lefty vs righty.. righty vs lefty pinch hit strategy.

30. I think if they can center a trade around Wilyer and sign Teo, that would be a great move.

31. RIP Rickey Henderson

32. I think we should give Kutter some time. His only issue last year was hrs. That can be fixed

33. No surprise to me.. Yankees sign 37 year old Goldsmight. Continuing the trend of stocking their roster with slow.. older players.. I love it! I thought I had Rizzo signing with Pittsburgh as the worst free agent signing.. Yankees' take that crown.

34. Yo le daría a wilyer abreu y prestar y asumo el 40 % del contrato

35. I doubt this trade will happen.

    Here's what I think the Red Sox are thinking. The additions of Campbell, Anthony (at some point) and healthy seasons from Story and Grissom are likely better than signing anyone from the thirty-something brigade – Bregman, Teo, Santander – to big contracts just so they can say they are more right-handed, and effectively balance out the lineup R/L.

    Offensively, the talent is in-house. And now that we have Crochet, I don't want to trade Abreu. All we do is complain about how bad the Sox defense is, and then we get a guy who wins a Gold Glove and we're like "Trade him." No! Let's keep him in right and let Anthony polish his game in AAA. If they both have good seasons and there's no room for Anthony in 2025, that's the proverbial "nice problem to have."

    There will be injuries and it's nice to have quality depth in AAA with Anthony and Mayer. I think Campbell breaks camp with Boston as the starting CF and has a Jackson Merrill type rookie season. Forget 2B for Campbell. I don't want this explosive a player limited to 2B. I want him at a premium position. Move Ceddanne into a super sub role, sign Grichuk as insurance if Ref has a down year. I'll take my chances with that group.

36. Refsnyder fits in the lefty vs righty strategy.. that Cora prefers.. which I am in favor. One question is.. Is Crawfords' ceiling higher than this guy ( Lopez ) from the Twins' ? I am not trading Abreu.

37. Twins lost Kepler to the Phillies so maybe looking for outfield help.

38. I read something this morning where Corbin Burnes is seriously looking to sign with a West Coast team I don't think he wants any part of the East Coast the Red Sox are going to miss out again just like they usually do yes they got Garrett crochet but we need another bat and we need another starter

39. kutter and Yoshida sounds fair to me.

40. baseballtradevalues is vastly overvaluing Lopez with 48 million player value. Try more like 25-30 with his 64.5 million on his contract. The current 48 player value has Lopez 4.5 WAR per year at three years. His past performance doesn't justify that value. Abreu for 5 years for Lopez no more!

41. OK I'm out on this channel. Stop with the awful click bait titles. Haven't been right yet.

42. We need a right handed bat bro.m

43. Yankees fan here. Hope you guys have the worst season possible. Take care 👍

44. Has any of the trade proposals featured in a video in Red Seat Radio history?

45. Here is to the late great Ricky Henderson !!!! Awesome player !!! R.I.P.

46. I truly love this idea of getting Pablo Lopez to Boston however, I have a feeling that the Twins are going to want a bigger return then the players you mentioned.

47. Twins also just lost their RF Max Kepler to Philly

48. You do a good job with your channel, but I have to say that the titles are misleading, this one for example, infers that there's has been a trade, but when you play it, the first thing you say is "the possibility", so its misleading

49. Do you feel that you have to post a video every day ? I am so sick of listening to rumors..Sox will not get Lopez.Let me guess what your video tomorrow will say. Sox make major trade. Sox traded LH Pitcher Booser to White Sox for 18 year old RH Fajardo.who has some upside but he’s only 18.

50. Nobody seems to want Alonso. He bats Right I think. We could sign him (8years 200M I think he will take this. He turned down 7 years 156M fr9m the mets then got no other offers) then he could play first base. Trade Casas and a mid prospect to Seattle for Luis Castillo. Then I believe we will be set.
