Who knows where the 2022 Sox are headed?
But I thought it would be fun to pitch trade ideas - whether buying to compete this year, or selling to look ahead to next year.
One idea that occurred to me is we might be able to get Tyler Naquin relatively inexpensively from Cincinnati. He’s only signed through this season. He’s 31. He used to play for the Tigers. He has a career .808 OPS v. RHP (and .850 this year, including a .509 SLG) and is acceptable defensively in RF. He could platoon with Pollock (who has sucked against RH pitchers this year) or Engel in RF and could provide sorely needed LH hitting against RH pitching.
What ideas do you have - for buying or for selling?
