SoxBlanco Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I gotcha and makes sense. Just feels like now would have been a good time to splurge on a starter since Keuchel will come off the books next year and we really have nobody waiting in the wings. Bassitt would be a fine addition, but a little nervous to speculate on what he might cost even as a one year rental. I hear ya, and I don't disagree. Two questions regarding a potential Bassitt trade: 1. A Bassitt trade would be similar to the Lynn trade last year in terms of cost, right? 2. If we make a trade like that, who are the best free agent starting pitchers next offseason (assuming we don't extend Bassitt like we did Lynn)? I suppose Google can quickly tell me the answer to that, so I'll get on that as soon as I hit "Reply". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, we don’t have any top 100 prospects, but maybe they would take Burger as a centerpiece. We’ll have to wait and find out I guess.

I'd rather just grab Bassitt for a year if Castillo would cost Vaughn+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This was a good deal. I’m happy for the Mariners. Those fans have been through some poop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably want Sheets and Burger…as they’re still likely to trade Olson. Chapman needs to build his value back first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 This stings, not a ridiculous contract that any contending team could have offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirmin' for Yermin Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I wanted nothing to do with the Ray and Gausman contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
