The MLB offseason has several rumors swirling around top players and free agents. While some deals come through, some fall apart, and many teams fail to sign players for various reasons. There is no shortage of trade rumors and ideas that might be impossible.
MLB insider Hector Gomez shared one such trade idea. The idea involves Fernando Tatis Jr. going to the Boston Red Sox with five other players in a blockbuster deal. While these are just ideas, some fans believe they are not worth sharing, especially if it comes from an MLB insider.
While Gomez shared the idea on his X account only to amuse, fans couldn’t help but troll him for his actions.
Here’s a look at some fan reactions.

“Hector, so not any of the top 3 prospects? This is a joke of an offer. Plus I think the league feels Abreu is just a guy,” one fan responded.

“Cmon, man. This isn’t happening, Hector. I think you’re unfairly treated. But this doesn’t help you,” wrote one fan.

Hector my man, Fernando isn’t getting traded. He will be a padre for the rest of his career. He loves San Diego and San Diego loves him. His contract proves that. 14yrs. 300m+ and no trade.
