Shall this man be traded? And for whomst?
Multiple reports this morning that the Sox are “flooded with calls” on Blake Swihart. It’s discussable beyond the limits of the Blake Can Rake thread since it collides with potential trade needs (probably an arm), but isn’t appropriate for the off-season thread.
Here’s one take. McAdam wrote another that’s paywalled.

Since his value has ranged wildly over the last few years—from too good to trade for Hamels to virtually worthless—I’m curious to know what this board thinks would be a reasonable and desirable return. Similarly fizzled top prospect? Change-of-scenery guy? Moderately expensive #3 starter on a tanking team?
It's possible of course to keep him, but he's mightily blocked.
