    Luis Ysla

    Luis Ysla Left handed relief pitcher Acquired from the Giants for De Aza DOB: April 27, 1992, currently 24 years old 6'1, 185 lbs. In the off-season, the Red Sox must decide if they want to protect Ysla by placing him on the 40 man roster. I think they will protect him--he is a left handed...

    The First Base Dilemma

    How long do the Red Sox put up with this? If Ramirez doesn't improve by the trade deadline, are we looking for a replacement? Let's say the Red Sox stick with him for the entire season and he shows no improvement. Can they bring him back in 2017 after two years of offensive futility (91 OPS+...

    The Iggy-Peavy Trade Regurgitated

      It worth noting that the Red Sox traded away Jose Iglesis and while they didn't give him away for free, they sold low (I don't believe Peavy played a vital or indispensable role in winning the championship--the Red Sox would have won it without him).  Iglesis is the kind of trade chip that...

    Should the Yankees trade Gardner?

    Jon Abbey: sorry if you do not want a separate thread for this. . . .   Gardner is such a good player, however (offensively and defensively), and thus maybe deserves his own thread.    According to reports:     Oddly enough, the Red Sox could use Gardner and could put an attractive package...
