My family and I traveled to Cincinnati to watch the first place showdown this weekend. After viewing game 1 of the series and seeing that we were starting Monasterio and Miller at the infield corners (I know it was supposed to be Anderson at third, but still), I'm even more ready to find a 3rd/1st/DH addition in the next two weeks. The sooner the better.
My preference would be J. Turner, but I don't think the Red Sox will move him as they hope to add to stay in the WC race. I'm afraid J. Candelario is headed for a bigger price tag than we want to pay.
This leads me to blocked AAA-type player. I've brought up Bobby Dalbec before and think he would be an interesting get to see if his stellar bat at Worcester can carry over for a couple of months in the bigs. Any other options of similar player would do.
Maybe a deal with Boston to get Adam Duvall and Dalbec to add two bats. Duvall has really cooled off since his wrist injury, but sounds like he is available as Boston looks to buy and sell.
