daggins Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The Cruz deal was too straightforward for them, now they have to do some real upside-down calculus and do a "sell" trade while also contending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe part of the contingency of the Cruz deal is that he had to be the oldest player on the roster lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I assume that means they are making a move for a SP or someone is getting promoted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got 95 innings out of Hill, probably more than they thought they were going to get, and can see where he's heading. They get a 4th round pick catcher out of the deal. Not bad.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 3 minutes ago, Dan Pasqua said: Charlie Blackmon in RF is my trade target Welcome aboard! Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I hope to god a 35 year old, overpaid Blackmon isn’t their plan for a bat. His defense has also deteriorated, which makes a very poo acquisition IMO.

Purely just a video game trade proposal…this has no basis in reality. Do you make this trade? Story + Blackmon + Marquez for Cease + Burger + Dalquist + Romy Gonzalez + Adolfo. Rox send $10M of the approx $40M owed to Blackmon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking on salary, giving up way more control, including Cease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d probably make that deal without Dalquist and if Rox picked up more $. I’d take Marquez over Cease next two years. Burger is blocked. Adolfo is purely clearing 40 man space. Sure we punt some control of Cease on the backend, but if you have Marquez, Cease probably isn’t in the rotation anymore if everyone is healthy. Again, just a video game trade for discussion.

Those slight tweaks down in what the White Sox are giving up have made it much closer to even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I like Marquez but I don't want sox to do anything that disruptive, especially to essentially solve SP longer term. The time for taking on a huge contract to get an elite player probably ended last year - that roster spot is too valuable. Sox have a great core right now. I think getting rental players and solving a limited number of positions year to year is the best approach, and keeping flexibility in case an elite player becomes available unexpectedly.

Tho getting an well above LH RF this offseason would sure be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
