Red Sox Exploring Trade Market For Center Field Help ? MLB Trade Rumors
Here we go deal Tabata and his 8.5 tied up for two years for Buchholz one year at 12 million.
Shame is right now Tabata has more value but maybe Buchholz needs a change to the NL?
Seriously the way Buchholz is pitching right now you might be able to claim him off waivers soon enough.
Marte for Boegarts?
My personal thoughts on this would be that they are trying to move Jackie Bradley Jr. to get someone that is more established. That is just a guess on my part though.
Not sure if you are serious or not, but I think Boston would walk away from that deal. I haven't looked at the numbers, but i just think Boston has no interrest in moving Boegarts.
It says center field help, not bench help. Tabata is not a center fielder.
Didn't want to start another thread, so I am hijacking this one for a second. Tyler Glasnow finally had one of the outings like we saw from him last year. 5.2 IP, 1 hit, 12k, 2 bb.

Rollins is an intriguing option. I wonder what it would take to get him. The contract is reasonable enough, and we're far enough under budget, that we could take on his whole salary to cut down what we send away. But since he's having a good start to the season, how much would it take, and what are we willing to part with?
We do have depth at both outfield and pitcher in our system. Perhaps send Mercer the other way to "fill" the hole which would be left, or Barmes, though I would guess Mercer's trade value is higher. Maybe send one of our second-tier pitchers or outfielders, as well, and perhaps one of our AAA relievers if they want a little extra value.
This is brilliant IMO. Not sure if any of you follow pre-draft coverage at all, but the way this draft is shaping up, a lot of teams sound like they will be passing on injured first round talent in the first round, drafting players they can sign for under slot deals then using that money in the comp and second rounds. That means the Pirates should get good value from this slot. Possibly one of the slew of pitchers that have recently been injured.
