00:00With the paucity of impact players available,
00:02one GM suggested the Red Sox could entertain the idea
00:04of moving Jaron Duran or Willier Abreu.
00:07More on that in a moment.
00:09They have ample outfield depth,
00:10especially with Roman Anthony ready for the big leagues,
00:12and although dealing at the deadline limits teams
00:14compared to the winter,
00:16the July market craves high-end talent,
00:18and Boston has it.
00:20So one GM suggested Jaron Duran,
00:22we talked about trade rumors involving him yesterday,
00:24or Abreu.
00:26Who would you move out of those two?
00:27Abreu.
00:28Me too.
00:28I don't even think it's close.
00:30No.
00:30Abreu had a real hot start.
00:31I think Abreu's a good player.
00:32I think he's good.
00:33I think we undervalue maybe Willier Abreu.
00:36He's a good defensive right fielder.
00:37I 1,000% did.
00:38So he's better than I thought.
00:40I'd still move him before Jaron Duran.
00:42And I think you could get something good for Willier Abreu.
00:44Yeah.
00:46But I don't know why there seems to be a pushback
00:50of having an outfield of Roman Anthony,
00:53Jaron Duran, Willier Abreu.
00:54And is it so you can squeeze Cedon Raffaella
00:57and his good defensive center field play out there?
01:00I feel like he would be better suited to play all the spots.
01:03Maybe play short or second base right now.
01:06You might even need him at second base for right now.
01:08I wouldn't trade either one of those guys.
01:12It's a cheap – there's a chance for it to be a super cheap
01:16yet super productive outfield for the next three years.
01:20You'd pay those guys peanuts.
01:21Roman Anthony, Jaron Duran, and Willier Abreu.
01:24You're not paying them anything.
01:25No.
01:26And then you're paying big bucks to guys like Devers and Crochet.
01:29And then you sort of take that and you have a nice –
01:32you could even add another two-year starting pitcher for crazy money
01:36and your team payroll wouldn't be that high.
01:38I'm not getting rid of any of those outfits.
01:39I don't see the need to do that.
01:41So I'm not really itching to do that either.
01:43However, and I said this yesterday, I'd listen on Duran.
01:46I don't really love the match with San Diego,
01:48but I'd listen on Duran if I'm getting a high-level pitcher
01:51and now my roster fits together better
01:54because Abreu's in right and Anthony is wherever, left, I guess.
01:59And you can leave Raffaella in center field.
02:02I'm open to that, but I need better than –
02:04than what I think I'm getting from San Diego.
02:06I'm open to that with Abreu as well.
02:08And so it's like, okay, we have a glut of outfielders, if you will.
02:12I don't know that they're exactly, you know,
02:14all-star, all-star, all-star out there.
02:16Raffaella's good defensively.
02:17Yeah.
02:18Yeah.
