Nah. BA has him behind Lazaro Montes who slots in right at 100. Not going to pretend I know tons on the player, but I don't love the defensive concerns/conditioning I'm reading. Everything else sounds great though. I just fear he becomes the positionless slugger profile. While there is value to be had there, I'd be more interested in prospects with some actual defensive acumen.

I think I'd be pretty bummed if they couldn't pry one of the three position players BA has ranked right around 50 in the top 100.

Wild how far Emerson climbed after his pro debut. I'm interested.

Hmm. Woo + one of Young/Ford/Emerson + a lesser third piece? Too much? Too little?

C'mon. You're better than this. What is Pedro supposed to say?

Also a thread in the FutureSox section if people want to discuss there.

Can you really count out the Yankees? I don't buy that everyone is out except Baltimore.

Poor Harold.

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?
