I do not think it's out of the realm of possibilities that one of Justin Crawford or Aidan Miller is on the Sox after tomorrow, not getting my hopes up but Robert fills such a big void for them and the Mets

If the Dodgers started an offer with De Paula / Zyhir Hope or Mariners Montes or Tigers said here's Max Clark Later Taylor and I don't think it's unrealistic that the Sox could get any of those guys back for the ceiling and long term control of Grant Taylor

Pretty confident in say Grant Taylor would net a HAUL

Welp so much for Gilbert who just went to the Giants in a package for Trevor Rogers

Crawford or Aidan Miller for me nobody else from the Phillies. Vientos, or two of Benge, Reimer, Clifford and Gilbert for the Mets I'm shooting for the moon, I am reluctant to give up a talent like Robert because there are still so many flashes I know I'm in the minority but still just how I feel

I'd be cool with that too lol, I just don't want to lose him for scraps which I consider Angel Acuna, or the Phillies like 10-20 ranked prospects Getz needs to get value for his talent still, I get their sentiment of looking foolish if they simply give him away

Probably in the minority here but let him play today, everybody but 9 teams play tomorrow (Rays-Yankees, Reds-Braves, Rangers-M's) All but the Reds I could see going after him, make it known nobody is getting close to what you're asking for in return for him. More so what I'm trying to say is if the return isn't great hold onto him and pay him to hopefully have a better year next year.

He’s always had command issues before getting into the White Sox system, he’s a work in progress and I feel much better with Bannister guiding him than previous pitching instructors. It just stings more because Griffin and Weatherholt have had great years.

Would anyone be upset if they held onto Robert and pick up his option as opposed to trading him for a garbage return?

Some of Hagen's numbers are wild, I wouldn't call him a disappointment at all, yeah Konnor Griffin or Weatherholt would have been better in hindsight but they did just fine with Hagen and ok then take off Montgomery and they still have two top 100 prospects from that class while Antonacci keeps hitting

They need bats any way they can find them, I'm very cool with them having a bunch of bats in the infield and using some of them to acquire a big bat down the road, we've complained so much about lack of depth, load up on it wherever you can and use that to get pieces

Hagen Smith, Bonemer, Antonacci, I'm willing to add Braeden Montgomery to it also Sucks McClain and Sauke have been hurt - could've seen them making an impact They did just fine if you ask me.

Tanner Scott was a rental though The teams who need a closer or late bullpen help are the ones with the most intriguing top prospects (Phillies, Tigers, Dodgers), even with Taylor's untapped potential I'm cool with moving on if it nets bats, I have faith in Bannister to build up a bullpen and a rotation

For sure, more so just getting the convo started, I'd shoot for the moon for him but would definitely move on if they're getting 2-3 top 100 guys But Clase going down helps with the other guys too which is good

Clase going down sure makes Grant Taylor a little more enticing... If they're able to get a couple top 100 guys I'm doing it in a heartbeat IMO

Robert would be such a good fit for the Phillies, hopefully the Mets noise gets them to move some prospects we’re not expecting for the current version of Robert He’d be a fun fit for the Mets though too, gotta think he breaks out with Soto, Alonso, Lindor around him

I think Kwan is gonna cost way too much for the Phillies IMO and I think Robert fits better. The Phillies have a bunch of LHH and they need help against LHP which Robert is destroying right now and he’s a better fielder than Kwan and a natural CF. And I think Kwan is a Dodger if he goes anywhere

All I’m reading or seeing from the national guys is that there aren’t gonna be high impact players available, have to think this helps the Sox get better returns for Houser, possibly Martin/Cannon, Tauchman, and Robert, at least I hope it does.

I wonder Mike Elias would consider trading one of their younger bats for a Davis Martin, Cannon, or Shane Smith all are on controllable contracts Maybe Coby Mayo or Kjerstad who are having very down years like the rest of their team.

I hope the state continues to show Jerry the middle finger, guy absolutely 1000% does not deserve any help from anybody to build a new stadium when the current stadium is perfectly fine. He’s getting what he deserves, when you spent years cutting corners it’ll come back to bite you. Literally the only thing that isn’t good about the stadium is the product on the field, we’ll show up when the team is good, it’ll make the hour+ commute for some/most of us worthwhile

Jerry has legit nothing better to do in his life right now so I’m sure he’s going to hold onto this thing for as long as he possibly can and run it how he pleases, us fans be damned. I think Ishbia is next in line and Jerry is lining things up for that to be the case but at this point it sounds like it won’t happen until he passes. Until then we have to hope that Chris Getz has enough smart people in place to draft correctly and make trades that net some diamonds in the rough.

So Greenberg lied about Jerry going to Ishbia during the discussions with the Twins? Yeah I’m not buying it, I think it’s closer than we’re all being led to believe but don’t think it’s happening this year or anything

What would a Rangers package potentially look like for Luis Robert?

So Reinsdorf didn’t go to Ishbia??
