Red Sox Get Crisp on Paredes' Arbitration, Could Be a Plus in Trade Talks

A recent arbitration ruling has brought clarity to the potential price tag for Houston Astros infielder Isaac Paredes. According to reports, Paredes and his team ultimately settled at $9.35 million after filing at $9.95 million and the Astros countered with $8.75 million. The figure falls squarely in the middle, a clear indication that both sides were willing to meet in the middle.

This development comes as a welcome relief for the Boston Red Sox, who have been exploring options to bolster their infield. Their current plan includes playing Marcelo Mayer at third base and using a platoon at second base. However, an ideal scenario would be to avoid using a platoon altogether, which could significantly boost their chances of securing an American League East title.

If the Red Sox were to acquire Paredes, they would be responsible for his $9.35 million salary this season. He also has a $13.5 million club option for next year, but it could potentially become a mutual option if he finishes in the top 10 of MVP voting this season.

Paredes' impressive numbers from last season - 20 home runs and 53 RBIs - make him an attractive target for the Red Sox. With his power output, he could prove to be a game-changer for the team's lineup. The question now is whether Craig Breslow can secure a deal that justifies Paredes' value.

The prospect of adding Paredes to their roster has piqued the interest of the Red Sox, and it remains to be seen how this development will play out in potential trade talks.
 
idk if the Sox are ready for a $9.35 million guy... they're already shelling out big bucks for other players 🤑 and that club option is gonna come due sooner than later 🤯 they need to think about what's best for the team as a whole, not just splurging on one player 💰
 
I think the Red Sox would be crazy to give up anything for a guy who's going to cost them $9.35 million. I mean, they've got some great young players like Mayer and Reynaldo Lopez, it's not like they need to break the bank to make their infield solid. And what's with this idea that Paredes would be a game-changer? 20 home runs and 53 RBIs are nothing special, anyone can hit those kinds of numbers. The Red Sox should just stick to developing their own talent instead of overpaying for someone who might not even make a difference in the long run 🤔
 
I'm thinking the Red Sox would kill it with Paredes on board 🤩. He's got those sick numbers from last season and would totally boost their lineup ⚾️. The fact that both sides settled in the middle gives me hope they can work out a deal 😊. I mean, $9.35 million is still a lot of cash for a player, but he's worth it if it means winning more games 💪. What do you think about Paredes' potential with the Red Sox?
 
🤔 I think this arbitration ruling for Isaac Paredes is a good sign for the Red Sox... I mean, $9.35 million is still a pretty steep price tag, but if he can deliver on his power numbers, it's worth it 🎯. The Red Sox need someone to step up their game and give them that extra boost in the lineup. Marcelo Mayer at 3B is a solid plan, but having Paredes would be like getting two players for the price of one 😊. Now, if Craig Breslow can find a way to secure a deal that justifies Paredes' value... that's where it gets interesting 🔮. Maybe we'll see some creative negotiating from both sides?
 
idk why ppl arent talkin about the bullpen depth tho 🤔 red sox need that 5th arm or else its gonna be another year of blowing leads like last season lol 💥
 
the red sox need a solid 2nd base player 🤔, paresdes could be the one 💡 but they gotta make sure he fits with craig breslow's contract, can't have him overpaying for paresdes' value 💸 8-10 million max would be my target range 📈
 
I'm loving the way the Red Sox are going all-in on building that infield! $9.35 million for Paredes is a steal considering what he brings to the table - power and clutch performances. It's great to see them willing to meet in the middle with his team, it shows they're serious about making this work.

If they can get Paredes on board, I think they've got a solid shot at taking down the Yankees in the AL East. No platooning required, Marcelo Mayer's gotta bring the heat at 3B! This is exactly what the Red Sox needed - a boost of talent and some much-needed excitement to the lineup 💥
 
I'm skeptical about the Red Sox getting a good deal for Paredes... I mean, $9.35 million is still way too much money for what he brings to the table 🤑. He's got some solid stats last season, but it's not like he's going to single-handedly lead them to an AL East title 🤔. And let's be real, Craig Breslow's going to get a sweet deal on Paredes' contract, just watch... that guy's gonna end up overpaid and underperforming 😒. The Red Sox would be better off sticking with their original plan of playing Mayer at third base 👍.
 
🤔 I think the Astros would have lost Paredes if he went to arbitration anyway 🤑 $9.35 million is a pretty standard salary for an infielder with his stats 💸 The Red Sox are definitely getting a solid player, but they need to make sure their lineup chemistry is on point 🔥 Have you seen the projections for the Red Sox' offense this season? I made a quick chart and it looks like they're gonna need some extra oomph 📊
 
I'm not convinced about the whole "Paredes is a game-changer" hype 🤔. I mean, 20 home runs and 53 RBIs are nice, but what's the real value here? Is he worth that $9.35 million this season? And what's to say he won't just be a flash in the pan? The Red Sox need more than just power at the plate... they need consistent, reliable performance 📊. I'm all for giving Craig Breslow a shot, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here 💸.
 
I'm reminded of when Mike Lowell played for the Sox back in the day 🤔... he was a game-changer too! Okay, okay, Paredes might not be Mike Lowell, but still, he's got some serious pop in his bat 🎟️. The Red Sox need all the power they can get if they wanna compete with those Yankees and Rays. I'm kinda hoping Craig Breslow can work out a deal that makes sense for both sides... we don't want to overpay for Paredes like they did in '03 when Mike was leaving 💸. Fingers crossed, maybe this trade talks thing will go smoothly and the Sox can get their hands on some new talent 🔮!
 
🤔 I'm kinda surprised they didn't try to lowball the Astros like they usually do in trade negotiations... but I guess that's not always the way things go down. The $9.35 million price tag for Paredes seems like a sweet spot, and if he can bring some of that power to the Red Sox, it could really boost their chances of making a deep playoff run this year 🚀
