QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) My reaction was what is next? I am no prospect lover, but they have to keep going if they are trying to win. They cannot stop here, or they lose the trade. If they do and fall short, whether you love Trayce, Micah, and Montas, hate them or are indifferent, it makes no sense to trade them for a guy who will be around 2 years, if you are going to be a .500 or so team. You need to do whatever you can to get into the playoffs. Now it is about spending some money. Spend it JR. Get the guy that will take you over the top, and melt the doom and gloomers like the Wicked Witch of the West. Then it is a huge White Sox win. Completely agree Dick.

Keith Law likes the deal for us.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:13 PM) Add Upton and our pitching staff and I'd say Chicago's best team is on the South Side I disagree with that lol. Cubs are really good, but we add Upton, we will be solid as it gets in the AL.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 45s45 seconds ago The #WhiteSox still looking to upgrade the lineup,GM Rick Hahn says,and could be in market for splashy free agent such as Upton or Cespedes.

Hahn just said they are not satisfied

People love prospects way too much. We still have ANDERSON AND FULMER.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) With the number of daily mock off seasons you've done, it was bound to be close at some point Lol

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) Offensively we've fixed quite a bit, and I also believe an improvement defensively in the infield. We still need to get one more OF to be competitive. Upton makes most sense.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Mission accomplished. Williams crowded out 3promising young players so Robbie and Coope don't have to deal with them. Williams got more low OBP. Another vet slugger. And we get the same horrendous outfield D as last year. Horrible trade I've been waiting for this post all day. Just wrong on all levels. Micah had no future on this team. Montas, while I think he will start, can very likely be in the bullpen, and Trayce a 4th OF, career 240 ML hitter with great defense. That's all we gave up? Ok. Sign me up.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) Remember, keep this thread strictly to plans of what Sox could/should do given the current moves already. Do not stray off topic. Sign OF Justin Upton 6 years/125 million Trade OF Avail Garcia, SS Tim Anderson, SP Frankie Montas, and 2B Micah Johnson to the Reds for Todd Frazier Bold #1. This needs to happen now. Bold #2. I was close, and our deal was even better.

Upton easily.

Lol at the people not wanting to give up on Trayce. I remember most of you being excited last year when we got Samardzija and a fake account said we traded Beck and Thompson for him.

We got fricken Todd Frazier!!!!!

Holy ****!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch it be Ethier or Crawford lmao

Sports Mockery suggested we trade Quintana, Avi, and Sanchez for Frazier lolol. I chewed them up.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) and that is a great reason why the FO needs a game plan..... to deal with the unexpected "what if" situation that will pop up. FO has to have back up plans. Probably 3 of them. If the price isn't right, just move on to plan B

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 01:21 PM) lmao, take a stand. FREESE WILL MAKE ME NOT GO TO GAMES That's right! lol.

If the Sox sign Freese, I will not attend a game. He is not what this team needs. Especially spending 10 million a year on him through his 33-35 aged years when you know he'll miss at least 20-25 games each year.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 01:07 PM) I would offer justin upton 4 years 80 million opt out after 2017 season. Upton doesn't do that because that 18 class is stacked and he will be an outlier in that class rather than a headliner. He will sign a 5-7 year deal with an opt out after 3 or 4 years.

I still say give me Upton over Cespedes. Give me 6 years (3-4 prime years) of Upton for our comp pick. Upton brings power, on base skills, and base running (18 steals last year).

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) if the sox does sign a big bat, whomever it is, does anyone think they will continue on players acquisitions. a 3b... a dh??? maybe a pitcher??? Yes. If we sign Upton or Cespedes, preferably Upton, it only gets us closer. By getting Frazier or another good 3B in trade would make us a playoff contender imo.
