That’s the trade. I think it will have to include Early he’d give A’s big upside with favorable metrics for higher elevation desert stadium. Looks like a win win. Maybe they’d prefer Witherspoon OR Valera to Holobetz& Phillips.
Down vote for the A's. Early isn't pitching so the A's shouldn't be interested and I recommend Eyanson in Early's place. I don't know if the A's would prefer Witherspoon over Phillips; does that affect the willingness to make a deal? If Boston is really willing to include Narvaez then this type of offer has potential.
Early got a good 2nd opinion, is throwing again and will be back soon. He's already a proven MLB caliber starter, which I think fits the A's window more. Eyanson also does work though if the A's want more clock. I could see Witherspoon in there over Phillips, but I think that limits the amount the A's could get back especially if the Red Sox send back Narvaez.
Early is doing long toss, not pitching, and he has no ETA for when he's back on the mound. Once he's on the mound and giving full effort my concerns will go away. With 2026 shot Eyanson's '27 ETA is acceptable. I don't think Boston is desperate enough to include Narvaez and one of Witherspoon/Phillips but if they are... Eyanson/Narvaez/Witherspoon OR Phillips would most likely get a deal done.
