I would lessen my expectations for Leon. There's a reason he hasn't been called up or used as a trade piece.

---

I'm half joking, but Arozorena and Adolis Garcia were in the same boat

---

Up until this point in your post I thought this was going on a completely different direction.

Ha!! I didn't even notice it until you said something. And now I can't stop reading it that way.

Depth Chart

C - Diaz, Salazar
1B - Abreu, Diaz or Dubon or Kessinger
2B - Altuve, Dubon, Kessinger
SS - Pena, Dubon, Kessinger
3B - Bregman, Dubon, Kessinger
LF - Alvarez, Dubon or McCormick
CF - McCormick, Dubon, Meyers
RF - Tucker, McCormick, Meyers
DH - Alvarez, Whoever needs a rest, Diaz

Anyone in italics is a starter somewhere else. We need a DH if Yordan is you LFer unless you think you can get by with rotating other guys thru. That means more regular playing time for Dubon, Kessinger, Meyers, & Salavar. We need 1 more position player. We can call up someone (Julks, Loperfido, Leon, Wagner, Dezenzo) or sign someone.

POSITION PLAYERS
I think we need another big-league body to help fill OF/DH. Ideally, someone who hits RHP. I don't see anyone else realistic to take jobs over Diaz, Abreu, Altuve, Pena, Bregman, Alvarez, Tucker, or McCormick.

Thanks for putting this together. It's much easier to look at it this way.

With Dubon, Chaz, Tucker, and Alvarez, we're already crowded for playing time. Even if it's just an extra 1/2 person. I don't see carrying both of Kessinger and Meyers. Especially with the ultimate utility backup in Dubon.

So if you are going to bring in a lefty outfielder, you definitely need to try and get value for one or both of them as part of it if it is a trade or look to maybe get another need for one or both of them (bullpen arm or backup catcher). I feel like this is one area I hope Dana helps to improve the organization. It seems we try and hold on to guys more than we should because we always here about how depleted the farm system is.

Everyone look at Yordans Instagram

Yordan recruiting? Nice

Yes I know it would have to be a trade

But man, what if….

Waiting for texasaggie2015 to tell us if this has legs to it

Should Christmas begin before Thanksgiving?

I want to believe but I just don't see how we have the pieces to pull off a Roberts trade.

Unless they're moving some decent pieces of the ML roster.

Feels like it would take Hunter Brown and Yanier Diaz. Maybe they'll toss Korey Lee into the deal.

I'm half joking, but Arozorena and Adolis Garcia were in the same boat until they changed their "diet". Maybe we just need to do the same for Leon.

Leon and Garcia did have very similar age 25 seasons in the PCL.

Don't sleep on this.

What would it be worth to pair Yordan and Robert in the same lineup for the next four seasons?

The #RedSox are getting trade calls on OF Alex Verdugo, per Boston Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow
