Best trade partner?

The Red Sox are said to be looking for both starters and relievers. Wouldn't it make sense to try and match up a trade of Teheran and Viz for a big package in return. They have quite a bit of offensive prospects available
 
I still think Texas is a good match. They have a deep system and have needs where we may have players available. They are pretty deep in positional/hitting prospects...may not have the pitching prospects to our liking.
 
I would trade Teheran for Moncada straight up. With Benitendi or Devers, they would have to add a significant asset to get Teheran. But one of those two would be enough to fetch Vizcaino imo. Under those scenarios the Sox are overpaying. But I want to win those trades. And we should be able to do so by exploiting the eagerness of contending teams to do something this year. If not, keep what we have.

I would do Teheran for Gallo straight up. Don't have interest in Brinson.
 
I think if the Sox really believe this could be a world series year with another starter, they may be willing to give up Moncada... I would if I thought it would get me to the WS.
 
And with how much pitching we drafted... I'm fully expecting Teheran to be dealt with his high value right now... also especially since we are still a couple years away from legit contending.
 
They're also apparently looking for a platoon partner for Chris Young in LF.

Julio, Vizcaino, and Markakis (with his salary paid for the rest of this season) for Benintendi, Devers, and Anderson Espinoza. Make Sims a Closer.
 
I think the sox are a great match.

But they have to give up some studs. We don't need to trade Viz or Tehran. We have a lot of high contact no power guys. We have a lot of mid rotation or back of the rotation starters.

I'm only giving those guys up for some impact. Even if it seems silly to give up Tehran for one minor leaguer, he needs to be a guy that can make an impact. Has to be raking at AA or better IMO.
 
The Sox are a perfect match. That rotation is horrible, add Teheran with the offense and that really pushes them into a solid position. They need two solid rotation arms honestly, but you do what you do. If they had Viz to pitch the 8th, with Kimbrel to finish, jeez.

I think adding Viz and JT to that team makes every starter that much better. You add a #2 starter to them and slide everyone else down.. then you shorten the games by another inning and you have a very good team. I seriously would slot them up there with the Cubs at that point. The offense is better than the Cubs, The starters would be worse than the Cubs, the pen would be better..

Viz and Teheran for Moncada, Benitendi, and Chavis.
 
Think Julio's certainly trade bait with all the pitching drafted.

Sox are a good match.

If they do think Julio could be the missing piece, really do wonder if they'd trade Moncada for him. Dombrowski isnt shy about trading prospects.

Giants are in need of a closer/set up guy, wonder if they'd trade Beede.
 
IMO, there are 3 good trade partners for Teheran and Vizcaino
1) Boston Red Sox- they can use both Teheran and Vizcaino: I'd WANT to get Moncada, but a package of 3ish prospects including Benintendi would get it done for me
2) Texas Rangers- not sure if they need much help, but Darvish got injured again (I think): A package including Brinson, Beras, and 1-2 lower prospect would work for me.

3) And my favorite, the Pittsburgh Pirates: They could trade for just Teheran or both.
Any package with AUSTIN MEADOWS (I love him as a player and have wanted him since he got drafted) would make my do FLIPS. He's raking in AA this season and he'd be our elite 5-tooled OF prospect and player by mid 2017. If we can get him in any trade not including Freeman, I'd love Coppy/Hart even more..

I think Moncada is probably off the table, but the others along with Devers, and the currently injured Swihart are probably in play. Two of them for Teheran, or three for Teheran plus would be a pretty good haul, and likely fill two of our three glaring holes for next year.
 
My thoughts exactly, and Dombrowski has never hesitated to blow up the farm in order to make the MLB team better. See the Tulo deal in Toronto.... Moncada would be a great pick up for us. He is hitting .299 with 3HR's and 36 SB
 
I agree about Dombrowski being loose with the prospects but what involvement did he have in the Tulo trade? I wouldnt trade Teheran unless its a kings ransom. I really dont want to trade either but I think with a strong demand and little supply left I think we will get that haul. The new wild card should help because no one wants to be in the play-in game. We should be able to pit division opponets against each other like if the Red Sox dont want to give us what we want we can turn around and open negotiations with the Orioles.

It's damn near a perfect storm for us as far as the Sox are concerned. Playoff push, stacked farm, exec that's known for shipping out prospects, BIG need for our best trade chip(s).
 
I could be mistaken, but I could have sworn that he had a big portion to do with making that trade happen, then left for the Rex Sox after the season.
