I will take Harold reviving this dead thread as optimism that something is brewing.

When your baseball team stinks threads like this happen.

Just a high upside tooled up lower level prospect. Snips from the BA top 100 posted today, and from the Yankees 2024 top 10.

A Hampton/Arias centered package would make me pretty happy. Just starting to wonder if it's actually on the table.

I think I'm with the hold onto him until the deadline if the low-ball offers are true crowd. Stick to your guns. Also gives me a reason to watch the White Sox at least every 5th day. Roll the dice.

I think I would prefer Hampton if it's either or with him and Jones. Fill in the rest of the package with Arias, and some combination of Lombard/Warren/Lalane and I'm good God I hope something happens soon because I hate this thread.

I'd be perfectly fine with that package. Bradfield sure fits the mold of what the org is trying to prioritize.

I wonder why we aren't seeing Bradfield's name in any proposals. Seems like an ideal target in a trade package.

I think I could squint and still see a Yankees deal work without Spencer Jones. Hampton, Arias, Lombard, Warren/Lalane?

So when does he get traded? Next offseason?

From the Bowden piece that was mentioned.

I can enlighten by posting the writeup from the recently updated BA Yankees top 10 for 2024. He's number 2 behind Dominguez.

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I feel like Rutherford didn't have the upside that Jones does. I also don't remember Rutherford having the monster EVs like Spencer.

I think I'd be pleased with a Hampton, Jones, and Lombard package.

Jones, Hampton, Arias too much? Arias is the guy I'd be targeting.

Doesn't it say the Sox believe they can get better prospects "from" the Orioles?

Spencer Jones terrifies me. I don't trust the White Sox at all with prospects that have a questionable hit tool.

f*** Thom Brennaman.

White Sox it sounds like. We were very into him on the draft forum.

Is Jett, Houck, Vasil too much of an ask? Not enough?

Boy is Parada's writeup on BA underwhelming. Was he always that rough defensively?

What do you got @Harold's Leg Lift?
