Early trade rumors

Post by Pharmabro » Fri Apr 11, 2025 9:04 pm

I guess Jerry is sniffing around for infield help on the trade market.

I don’t think there’s anything sexy out there.

from what Adam Jude‘s article said it was speculating that they were scrounging through other teams, minor league, veteran additions for players with promotion, clauses, and opt out

So it sounds like they're looking for players on the discount aisle and not willing to do an overpay.

With the addition of Bregman, Devers was there for the taking. The ask would have been steep, but he could have been our regular 3B. Third base is a train wreck right now for us. Our whole infield has been a bit of a mess, TBH.

I wonder how soon till they call up Williamson…

I don't think Devers is a third baseman.

The budget is set. They aren't going to take on salary two weeks into the season. Besides, teams NEVER trade legit Major leaguers in April. Almost never do in May.

And the red Sox aren't trading him, they're trying to win. Besides Devers is signed to a 10 year $314 mil contract. In your wildest dreams do you see the mariners trading for that

Please tell me you are joking. There is a better chance they trade for Putin to play third than take on that contract.
Rafael Devers signed a 10 year, $313,500,000 contract with the Boston Red Sox, including $20,000,000 signing bonus, $313,500,000 guaranteed, and an average ...
