00:00Loomer Loney, Red Sox Insider, joining us here on Jones and Keefe, as he does every
00:04Friday at noon, on Kassus.
00:07What should they do?
00:09Well, the problem is, is the way he's finishing up, you know, it's like diminished returns,
00:14right?
00:15It's not exactly selling high, but, you know, the Rosenthal thing, it's like, I think you
00:21dangle them, you know, just like I think you dangle a lot of these guys, including all
00:25your prospects in AAA, you know, including your outfield, and you have to get a horse.
00:29You have to get a starter to put on top of these guys.
00:33And is that value too low for a guy like Kassus now?
00:36Or is his, you know, the history of him, I think, you know, would allow you to make a
00:41big trade.
00:43And the Rosenthal thing talking about, you know, Devers going to first base and bringing
00:46a right handed bat for third.
00:47I mean, I don't mind that idea at all.
00:49It's just that you keep going back to what he was in the second half of the year.
00:52And you're like, man, I mean, you're too left handed.
00:55You want to give up on that.
00:56But I think you dangle him.
00:57I think you dangle everybody.
00:59One of the righties that has had a successful year is Tyler O'Neal, his 30th home run the
01:04other night.
01:05Are you bringing him back or is there no room for him?
01:08I think it depends on what you do with Masa.
01:10You know, if you're if you want to move him, if you're able to move him, there's a lot
01:13of different ways.
01:14I mean, you could trade two lefties and then turn around and be like, hold on.
01:17We might need a left handed bat in this lineup.
01:19We might just turn into right handed.
01:21Right.
01:22But if that's not the case and you move Masa, then I think, you know, the finish with O'Neal,
01:26I think you'd consider it maybe with a DH right handed bat.
01:30I think there's going to be a lot of stuff in the air this this offseason with trades.
01:35I expect it to be a heavy trade offseason.
01:38And depending on where that path goes, he could still find himself here DHing.
