Chicago White Sox

Why do you think that? This is the fWAR leaderboard for 2019 & 2020 combined. Lynn is second overall and there is not a single guy on that list that isn’t considered a high end starting pitcher. When do you start believing that his development of a cutter and him embracing analytics might mean he’s legit now?

Why is Lynn not the answer?

Peralta is way too much of a project to help our rotation this year.

Cease is worth exponentially more than Bundy, so no need to worry there.

Yeah, Bundy is not the answer.

You want to trade for Peralta to help this year’s rotation? I thought you just said it was a long play.

Which is why that dude’s tweet was total BS.

We don’t need a long play right now, we’re looking for help for our playoff rotation.

It would be the biggest no-brainer trade ever

No fucking way.

Again, please not Gonzalez. Little worried after that Merkin “think controllable” tweet.

I would imagine so, although I’m sure if the Brewers were willing to trade Woodruff & Hader for a package based around Vaughn & Dunning Hahn would make an exception.

Total BS. Vaughn & Dunning would be the starting point for either guy not both of them.

Ray has been horrible this year, so can’t imagine he’d cost much to acquire. And in all honesty, he’d be a questionable addition given his control issues at the moment.

Hmm...that’s a pretty good point.

Yup, I absolutely love Dunning, but Kopech has a best starter in baseball type ceiling if he further develops his changeup.

I really, really hope not.

Yeah, it does make a ton of sense to be honest.

There is zero chance Vaughn ever sees A+ ball short of a future rehab stint. He’s either coming up at some point this year or most likely starts 2021 in AAA for a few weeks. The Sox aren’t going to slow play Vaughn when they see their window opening.

Mods - Can we close this one or merge with the other?

Fully agree. I could live with losing Dunning for Lynn, but I definitely would hate to see him go.

Oh fuck it may just happen

I wonder what they’d be targeting from the Brewers?

Depends which Ray you’re getting

I thought about Eovaldi before as a salary dump, but the problem is he’d more or less be your rotation addition for the next couple years and I don’t have enough confidence in him.
