GGajewski18 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Imagine the Sox signing Harper and trading for Bryant lol Ultimate troll job to all Cub fans. For real though, if he is available, Sox shock inquire on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'd guess a trade of Bryant would give them a chance to sign Harper, since they obviously wouldn't need to worry about extending Bryant anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they'd net THAT big of a prospect for him. Maybe more in the Robert/Madrigal range. For the record, I think he goes nowhere as Theo refuses to call anyone untouchable anyways.

Bryant would most definitely return a package featuring a prospect like Eloy. 3 years of control left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I can't see a match of return for the Cubs, and the acquiring team being willing to give it up knowing they still probably won't resign him. At least not at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryant and Harper have the same agent. If the Cubs are thinking of trading Bryant its because they cant sign either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 While it would be difficult to lose Eloy, you have to admit it would be pretty hilarious looking back that it a straight up Quintana for Bryant trade is realistic with the pieces involved. Cubs fans would have been laughing their asses off at that idea a year ago. But not sure many teams could beat Eloy + Cease + 2 orgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I don't understand what the point of signing Harper would be if they're going to trade Bryant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to believe Bryant has similar value. Funny to think, if a rebuilding team had a Kris Bryant and was actively trying to move him, it would probably require a package of: Eloy Cease Another prospect in our 20ish range like a Konnor Pilkington. The Sox basically got this for Q. Amazing. Edited November 9, 2018 by KrankinSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the net between their two salaries next year is going to be absolutely insane, so much so that the added value of whatever prospects would be involved make it a wash at LEAST. And that's just year one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Now, that said, the perfect team for this is the braves. And hooo boy an infield of Freeman, Swanson, Albies, Bryant with an OF of Acuna, Inciarte, (Brantley) is pretttayyyy good. Now, here's the other thing. This rumor makes no sense. It is quite frankly shortening a window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmarComing25 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Title of the article seems very clickbaity, all Theo said was that he doesn't believe any player should be untouchable if the right deal comes along, which makes sense. That doesn't mean he wants to trade Bryant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Cubs have issues. Russell poses a huge PR problem and will be hard to trade for comparable value. Bryant struggled last year with injuries that might not be fully mended. One of the guys on the Cubs I liked for the White Sox is Bote...can play 3rd and SS and has some pop. Guessing Bote might be counted on by Cubs to play a lot of innings next season, especially if they dangle Bryant (who I would be suspect of).

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If Bryant had more team control it would be something I would want the Sox to look into. But 3 years isn't long enough for what it would require to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
