MLB Daily Thread: Red Sox Win, USA Beats El Salvador, Frazier K's

[Rock Strongo]

• The Red Sox now have Giants infielder Eduardo Nunez atop their list of possible third-base targets, a source tells MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand (Twitter link). Indeed, the clubs have discussed Boston’s interest in both Nunez and reliever Hunter Strickland, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports. It seems the Sox are also still engaged with the Marlins on third bagger Martin Prado(as well as reliever David Phelps) along with Pirates infielders David Freeseand Josh Harrison. Of course, it’s worth bearing in mind that Prado is on the DL, while the Bucs may be hesitant to deal given the team’s improved outlook. All told, it still seems to be a wide-open search.

id rather have a year and a half of machado with an inside track to sign him, vs 6 years of an unknown devers.

He is a Boras guy. I dont know that there is such thing as an inside track to sign him.

But, if that were an option, Id be all in on that.

Eduardo Nunez (hamstring) hit a pinch-hit single Wednesday in the Giants' win over the Indians.

Nunez was held out of the starting lineup due to hamstring tightness, though that was mostly a precautionary move as the 30-year-old third baseman is one of the Giants' more attractive trade chips. There's known to be serious interest from the Red Sox. If he's healthy, Nunez is almost certain to be dealt before the July 31 deadline.

Varitek was never leaving. After he signed that extension when they put the C on his jersey didn't he say that he gave his agent instructions not to talk with any other teams but to get a deal done with the Red Sox?

Manny Machado To Red Sox? Buster Olney Believes Orioles Should Explore Trade

I would think they would have to give up Devers and more to get him...

Interesting theory but won't happen

oh they would move like devers, JBJ, etc. remember...xander and JBJ are boras guys too and are free after 2018 i believe.

Bogaerts is a free agent after 2019, JBJ isn't a free agent until after the 2020 season.
