hi8is Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSox1917 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 01:22 AM) Sounds good to me. Sale for Urias, De Leon, Bellinger, Puig, and Pederson. Get on it Hahn! Include Melky if you need to for LA. Then Q for Benintendi, Devers, Swihirt, and Kopech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I probably like the Dodgers prospects more than the other two teams because of Urias and De Leon alone even though the other teams have by far the better position prospects (Texas especially). I just feel our organization can properly develop those two (though Urias doesn't need much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Id rank the three teams in terms of best match for us: Boston, LA and then Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 12:19 AM) If DD really doesn't want to give up Moncada, I'd throw in Melky and ask for Bradley, Benintendi, and one of their top two pitching prospects. Huh???t. Boston is short a LF right now w Young out and Holt still recovering. Why would they trade their LF heir apparent and their CF and replace w Melky when they are in the pennant chase. Now they have no CF. As I posted before, Bradley is an untouchable. Betts maybe in the offseason but he will require a lot in return removing a lot of prospects from a Sale or Q haul.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Texas has no shot because they won't want to give up Mazara. I'm not enamored with Gallo and Profar only has about 3 years of control left and with his agent, Boras, he'll want a big contract. Texas' system just doesn't do much for me outside of Mazara. Boston and LA are the teams but I just don't see them doing this deal midseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 A deal built around Mazara, Gallo, Brinson, Ortiz, & Tate could work. Let them keep Profar. Maybe include Melky to help offset the loss of Mazara and to get a couple more pieces back. That's not a bad deal at all. Not as good as a Moncada/Benintendi lead package, but I'm not sure how many other clubs could actually top it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 22 and could turn it around, but MLB results are scary so far. I know people hate on Profar having 3 years of control, but that doesn't mean we couldn't use him. And if they are in a rebuild mode, they, could also deal him in a year or 2. It would just depend on what else comes over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) People were saying the same things about Baez last year they are saying about Gallo now. Gallo may never hit .250, but he is going to be a 40 homer guy. If the Sox got 4 or 5 prospects, he being one wouldn't be too shabby.

caulfield12 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:28 PM) The Pirates went three decades without finishing over .500. Tell me how much better that is than where we are now. Two decades...they were pretty good with Bonds, Bonilla and Leyland. Fwiw, one thing to watch with Baez or even Saladino is they are getting the benefit of mostly favorable matchups. Not sure how well that holds up as everyday players. What are the Baez splits this year? Edited August 1, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 07:56 AM) Think I'd rather have Profar over Gallo.. Not at all impressed with Gallo I know it's been said a hundred times, but Profar only has three years of control and is represented by Boras. He makes little sense for a rebuilding club. Gallo is obviously a risk because of the K's, but he's also got incredible upside (80 grade power) and has crushed every level of minor league pitching. It may not be a popular comparison around here, but he's somewhat similar to a young Adam Dunn offensively with the ability to play as a passable 3B. If I'm also getting Mazara & Brinson, I'm more than happy to roll the dice on Gallo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 They won't move Mazara. Odor is a bit more realistic. Tate and Brinson. Gallo. Plus someone like Chi Chi Rodriguez. That pool of five. Profar could take over second for them. Perhaps Saladino goes to TX to provide another infielder for insurance purposes, although they also have Alberto.
