Saw someone mention kike Hernandez
I'd run to the airport and pick him up.
He’s having a terrible season, hasn’t played since June 7th with a hip flexor strain, and was placed on the 60 day IL July 23rd. I’m assuming that’s retroactive to June 8th, so he could theoretically come off around the 8th of August, but I just read an article that says it’ll be another week before he’s even swinging a bat. Seems like Ozzie may be back not too much later than it would take KiKe to get right, if that’s even possible this year. I’d take him for the right price (basically just paying the rest of his salary or a very low ceiling prospect if they wanna keep paying him), but just not sure it really addresses our short-term needs. But, the Sox do have a few nice pieces in the last year of their contracts that may be available. I’ll link the article.
MLB Trade Rumors—Red Sox
Btw, I know people are down on Cano a bit, but I think he’s still got juice in his bat—he’s hitting some hard balls into some bad luck—and wouldn’t bail on him being a bridge to Ozzie coming back just yet. Not unless it’s for a younger guy like a healthy KiKe from last year who can give you versatility by being able to play multiple IF and OF positions and can continue to give you value even after Ozzie gets back.
shite, I’m talking myself into wanting him now, but it’s got a lot to do with how good he was last year and how good he’s been in the postseason, but with his current injury and it being a rental, I just wouldn’t want to give up any real asset to get him. HOWEVER, is it time to face the possibility that Ozzie may not make it back this year, and even if he does, he won’t be the same until ‘23? Cause I think that possibility is higher than zero. Maybe significantly so.
