Ben Intendi to the Royals

[Nasty_Magician]

Like the trade for the Mets. Prospect we traded is the guy we just got in the Matz trade. Lee immediately becomes a top ten (top five?) prospect.

JBJ would already be a Met if the DH was announced. But without a DH Dom Smith goes to left and Nimmo in center. Those guys need to be in the lineup every day.

So much bad pitching in the AL, you know what they do to the o’s or Jays staffs over 19 games per? Demolition. That’s why they are a virtual lock for October every year. Than the elite pitching arrives

TB doesn’t have the names or star power, but contact and situational hitting, they are more suited for October

Yup. Eventually the elite pitching beats the elite lineups. Very rare that a team slugs its way to a Title. And TB is the master of mixing and matching pitchers and having 8 guys who throw 100MPH in the bullpen, too. Different game in October.

I like Nimmo’s bat, but few guys in the league play CF like Bradley. He’s a useful piece...at the right price.

Red Sox are just getting Cordero and some random A/AA pitcher here?? I don’t get it.

Ideal world they announce DH in the NL and the Mets can roll out an outfield of Nimmo, JBJ and Conforto which is just absurd.

Wonderful. Add Benintendi to the list of guys they are paying to be on another team.

I am curious what it even means to be a PTBNL coming off a year where the minor leagues weren't really a thing.

 

[navamind]

Red Sox are getting 3 more PTBNL (two from KC, one from NYM).

 

[Fountain City Blues]

As long as the PTBNL's aren't something obnoxious like say for Lacey, Lynch, etc I am good.

" No, no. We aren't paying you. The Yankees are paying half of your salary. The Yankees are paying you 4 million dollars to play against them"

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Just eyeballing, this is probably the main set of position players the Royals can field as of today assuming Dozier is at 3B.

LF: Benintendi; Merrifield	CF: Taylor; Merrifield, Heath	RF: Merrifield; Soler, Olivares
3B: Dozier	SS: Mondesi	2B: Lopez/Alberto; Merrifield
1B: Santana; McBroom	C: Perez	DH: Soler; Perez, McBroom

Lee looks like he has some speed, but strikes out a lot. OBP is not bad, though. Billy Beane would approve, I think.

 

[nynasty]

Wow. This is a bad trade for Boston.

 

[cerealboi]

Fuck you

 

[cerealboi]

Wow. This is a bad trade for Boston.

I know. Fuck you too.

 

[chappee11]

Fuck you

Lol. This one will take a while to evaluate. The Sox are getting 3(?) more guys here who have not been named. Benintendi was just awful last year, but I really don’t see why you trade him when is value is at its lowest point. I figured he’d be a strong candidate to bounce back this year.

At least hold him to the deadline to see if he can put up some numbers. He's never been less valuable than right now.

 

[redseat]

Well.... Yeah, I got nothing...

Red Sox pulling the Rays and the long run so I guess that's why Beni is gone now

Yup. Can’t disagree at all. Maybe the Sox have some plans with the $3-4m they save here??
