caulfield12 Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 Walker seems to be one in particular that’s drawing positive attention as a solid bounce back guy. Maybe our new (pitching) niche is that we can become known for successfully rehabbing so many TJ guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is Lopez is one of the few starters without a major injury (knock on wood) in their past and he’s actually the one with the most high-risk profile in terms of high velocity fastball usage.

That would only put our system back to 28th-30th in the majors. They have no incentive to deal Marquez. If they do, they’re trading Arenado, dumping Blackmon and completely rebuilding. Gray at least makes some sense, but they need him, Freeland and Hoffman pitching to their potential to compete. No pressing desire to trade him right now when he’ll still be under control for 1 1/2 years at the deadline. Unless someone blows you away with an offer, which the White Sox most certainly won’t do.

Flash Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Probably been mentioned but Chris Archer might be a change of scenery candidate. Guessing Pirates would be fine unloading him, perhaps in combo with Marte who MLB Trade Rumors says Pirates will move, ideally for a young catcher. Do you think Collins, Fulmer and ??? would get their attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But realistically what hole is going to need to be plugged in from the minors? This roster is essentially set for the next 4 years after we add a RF. I wouldn't have any problem trading away anybody after Vaughn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then you’re stuck eventually where the Cubs are, but at $160-170 million instead of their $200+ million payrolls. Their only hope is to leverage Contreras for the perfect combination of players. Not easy. But I’m sure every Sox fan would take another World Series and four consecutive postseason appearances (granted, 2018 was a disaster in the end.)

Collins might have some interest to them, but not as a headliner and I don’t see the Pirates selling Archer this offseason while his value is so low. He looks like more of a trade deadline type to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Vaughn or someone big but not Robert obviously. I'd be so pissed. You don't cannibalize the fruits of rebuild to get a pitcher. It's self defeating. Just spend some damn money or take on a bad contract as the main compensation in a trade. Edited December 8, 2019 by SoCalChiSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal. I really don't see the Sox moving major prospects (Robert, Madrigal, Cease, Kopech, and major young pieces at MLB level). Give 60% of the Wheeler offer to Ryu. Sign a backend SP or trading from prospects that don't currently project to be major pieces in 2020. Trading anything that projects to be a major piece moving forward after going through this process would be something. I guess I could see a scenario where moving Vaughn makes some sense, but it would be for a major piece in addition to signing Ryu - not in lieu of.

Miley?...Keep your assets Jon is right. This has been the plan of the FO. No need to switch course now. Sink or swim. Let the rebuild/tank results speak for themselves with the names mentioned. Free agency is the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
