Soxnfins Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Would be ironic to see him go back to MIN where he started. Give up on him, he comes back with a rival, now you pay for him. I'm in favor of that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxforlife05 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) Someone should end up taking him for a respectable prospect. Probably lower minors with some upside. Which would definitely be my preference over a high floor/lower ceiling high minors guy that we got in Tilson for Duke.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Getting anything for Swarzak is a win because he was a minor league deal guy but it seems like there is some interest out there: Jon MorosiVerified account @jonmorosi 15m15 minutes ago More Anthony Swarzak has appeal at #TradeDeadline because of multi-inning capability: 17 appearances of 4+ outs, 0.98 ERA in those games. @MLB 6 replies 28 retweets 44 likes Jon MorosiVerified account @jonmorosi Jul 12 More Anthony Swarzak is a sleeper trade candidate. He's having career year with #WhiteSox, will be free agent after '17; 1.00 WHIP in 41 IP. @MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 He's definitely getting moved, but it's going to be a for low level talent. Wouldn't mind adding another middle infielder for Kannapolis or Winston Salem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Swarzak should be in Rizzo's price range so maybe we see a deal with the Nat's after all. Now that a closer and setup arm are off the market, I think fair market value for Swarzak would be Carter Kieboom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yeah I guess Yolmer could maybe land something decent. It's unfortunate Leury got hurt, if he kept playing anything like he had he might've returned something really nice. Though still plenty of time for that if he comes back and plays well the rest of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 With some rumors previously about Avi being out there or maybe they package Swarzak its Melky somewhere. Or by itself I'll be curious about the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'll take anything with upside, but the two areas I'd try avoiding are A ball OFs and starters in AA/AAA. We have huge logjams in those areas, but an A ball arm would make plenty of sense for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Sox are light on up the middle acquisitions. Not sure that Swarzak can help remedy that, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Kelly would be great but if the Sox had to settle for a package headlined by Bader, it wouldn't suck. Like that kids bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't send a team out with 0 vets, he's needed as a mentor at the least, also think he's the long term RFer with Robert in CF by 2020 and Jimenez in LF by 2020 as well, Rutherford is a ways away and struggling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Starting to think that unless Avi + can bring back a top 100 prospect then go ahead and wait until the off season to re-evaluate. If Avi continues to hit his stock will be up this winter and Hahn can dangle him at the winter meeting to see what kind of offers he gets. Or,Moncada/Abreu/Avi could give us a glimpse of what the future could be like and may want to keep Avi around. Ha, never thought I'd say that. Still skeptical of Avi so I'm hoping the Cards get desperate and make Hahn an offer he can't refuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marlins could have a couple elite OFs on the market this winter plus there are a couple good free agents. Might not be the best time to dangle Avi.

Honestly any contender that can use an arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Honestly any of the contenders make sense given his likely price tag. Teams that make a lot of sense: Rockies Rays Twins Rangers Nationals Cardinals Brewers Maybe even: Cubs Red Sox Less likely - because they want elite relievers: Astros Dodgers (pen is too righty heavy) I'm going to predict the Rays.
