He could have been had for a Micker Adolfo type of prospect and it looks like we straight up passed on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Interesting timing g that the Sox put this "Story" out there after the EE news broke. Hmmmm. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I’d probably prefer Escobar. He’s been better in 21, he bats left handed, is actually a 2B and he’d come cheaper. But Story would be far better than Leury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Story has the luxury of being a better short stop defensively too. Escobar last time he played there didn't fare too well. Just incase something happens on the infield...hopefully not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 The cost for Escobar will almost certainly be cheaper, and he's been a better player than Story so far in '21. But if the Sox prefer Story and want to bet on his track record/upside, fair enough. But they better land him if that's the case because Escobar just went for a nothing return and he would have been a massive addition to this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know what to make of it because the article may have just been other executives sensing an opportunity to lower his value, but the whispers about Story having an injury are definitely concerning " Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is one of the biggest names on the trade market, but mostly by reputation. Story, 28, is in the middle of his worst offensive season, and some baseball people are alarmed by his poor throwing. “His throws look off and have all year,” one rival executive said. Statcast numbers support the executive’s observation. The average velocity on the top 10 percent of Story’s throws is 78.1 mph, down from 80.4 last season and an average of 85.4 the four previous years. More traditional numbers also point to a decline: Story has made six throwing errors, one short of his career-high." https://theathletic.com/2732480/2021/07/27/rosenthal-trevor-story-max-scherzer-mlb-trade-deadline/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Reinsdorf just invited Nightengale for story time, milk, and cookies after deciding that Escobar’s salary was too expensive and it became this tweet. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Mercedes Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Possible the Sox never did like those other guys and really wanted Baez or Story. Now they leak to Bob to get leverage for one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Only reason for pushing this through Nightengale to me would be to mitigate cost inflation on another target now that Escobar is drinking beers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) well his throws from SS to 1B aren't going to be a problem if he's playing 2b, but dude has never played there supposedly, I preferred Escobar looking at Javy Baez, wow .289 OBP but 22 bombs, story just looks like straight dog shit Edited July 28, 2021 by joesaiditstrue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Would the Sox take on Blackmon to reduce the prospect cost? Ope...never mind. I see he’s signed through 2022 for A LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
