Merloni: Curious to see what you could get for Koji

Share

The MLB trade deadline is approaching and the Red Sox should be sellers given their current standing in the basement of the A.L. East. 

Clay Buchholz was talked about by many as the team's most valuable trade chip before he got injured. So who is their most valuable chip now? 

Are teams interested in closer Koji Uehara, and if they are, what would he fetch?

"I just wonder how much you can get for Koji," Lou Merloni said. "You’re going to have to eat some of that money. I’m looking at guys like Koji, [Junichi] Tazawa, [Ryan] Hanigan. It’s like I don’t know, I don’t think you get anything for Hanigan. It’s not going to be enough. I'd rather have Ryan Hanigan backing up your young catcher next year. I don’t think you can get anything for Tazawa. Koji I’d be curious to see what you could get for him. With all the closers that are out there in this market, I just don’t think you can get anything."
