Jose Abreu Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Here are the facts. At 5:51 PM CT, FutureSox's Clinton Cole tweets this: He has since sarcastically replied that this was about a pizza that he was eating. At about 6:40 PM, the White Sox announced that Avisail Garcia was scratched from the lineup and was feeling "under the weather". Rick Renteria was not very descriptive about Avi's illness. And, finally, on the pre-game show, Chuck Garfien almost cryptically implied that Avi may be traded before the deadline. Maybe he isn't really under the weather. Anyway, this is a pretty wild conspiracy without much evidence but it's being talked about on Twitter so I figured I'd bring it here.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I was hoping White Sox Dave could have some comments, but unfortunately he’s at the Cubs game and probably plastered. Also, not a good choice by Yolmer there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Very interesting, but I think it's more likely Eloy is coming up and Nicky sent down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Putting all of the facts together, I must conclude that Avi is out of the lineup due to sickness from eating bad pizza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) While probably nothing, if any team makes sense to acquire Avi it’s the Phillies. It’s almost a perfect match to be honest. I’m not sure if they’d be willing to give up the necessary prospect currency to land him though. Having said that, we could make things really interesting for them by adding some pitching depth into the mix. They could use a starter like Shields and another reliever. Is Avi, Shields, & Soria enough to pry Medina & a lottery ticket? The answer is probably no, but if they believe the recent Avi is legit then that could be a huge deal for them down the stretch.

Jack Parkman Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I buy the "trade was close, but fell apart at the end" conspiracy theory. He wasn't at the Hospital, he was on notice in case he had to pack his bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Don't buy it. There's always a guy or two who gets traded mid-game and has to exit the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy it. If it were heart problems Avi would have stayed on the bench instead of eventually being brought in late in the game.

BlackSox13 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I don't think Avi is getting traded regardless of his hospital stint. He's been on and off the DL this year with hamstring issues and to trade him now would be selling low. Then we would have to suffer through all the Hahn hatred for not getting enough. Best we can hope for is Avi stays healthy the rest of the season and performs well. Then revisit the idea of trading him this winter.
