Who said to trade him after 2017?
I wanted to trade him at allstar game for whatever we could get. I didn't want a king ransom I wanted some young arms in single A or AA
Guy is absolutely frustrating player to watch
Looks like star for a week , Disappears for months
The Sox blew it not trading him during that fluke allstar year
The classic holding onto player for too long based on his "Potential"
Guy is going to be 28 early this coming season and its unlikely he magically turns it on and becomes consistent allstar , etc
He is what he is at this point
Never said it was
Like I said there was talk of interest in him at deadline that year but Sox didn't want to move him believing he had finally "Broke out"
I would have traded him for a pair of young arms and advocated them doing it
