But Pederson also may not have been as available as he was when the Sox traded for Mazara. Now hes just an extra piece and they'll probably just look to shed his salary.

What was he supposed to do? Wait until beginning of February to see if Dodgers acquire OF help?

Lol random.

If I'm trading away Verdugo plus others and getting David Price in return, I better not be paying more than half that salary.

Wow, that's fucking ugly.

And wasn't a 3B in 2018.

Yeah the poster who normally does the White Sox has the same username here as he does on the Operation Sports forum for the show. CWSPALEHOSE I believe. The full rosters normally get uploaded within the first month of the release of the game. I haven't owned it since 2017 and now that you can rollover your franchise from one year to the next, I think it helps get the rosters out sooner.

You can find custom covers and replace the game cover if you really want.

Out of curiosity, who are the 10 you put ahead of him?

Any and everything lol

THANK YOU!

You're saying absolutely trade him with 2 years left if we can't extend him. Therefore you are talking about trading him.

What situation exactly? lol they have 2 teams in the same division currently bidding on his services. And if they had traded him with 2 years of control left, that would have been right after their World Series win. How well do you think that would have gone over with the team and fans?

But if Moncada is the only 3B in the organization with no depth behind him, then you're not dealing from a position of strength like the Dodgers example.

If we are in the middle of our contention window, Moncada being an important piece, why would you do that?

Anyone betting on the Super Bowl, what bets are you taking? Looking at the props, I'm so tempted to throw some cash around on this game.

It's been brought up multiple times over the past few months that the Sox should sell high on Moncada now for prospects.

You mean like the Sox (hypothetically), a team in which he already plays for?

On no you're being clear. It just makes zero sense. Teams don't trade their stars with 2 years of control left in the middle of their contention window.

I swear, there's a very small group of fans on this board that are obsessed with the idea of a perpetual rebuild lol

You literally said trade them with 2 years of control which would be 2021/2022. You're literally comparing 2 teams that couldn't be farther apart.

Yeah. It's not a good comparison at all.

Why on earth would we trade them if we are in the middle of contending? If we are running away with the division (like we possibly could be in 2021, 2022), why would you trade them? Such a bad take. And to be honest, they are "5 no name minor league players" because you've never heard of them. Combing through the deal and stats, they got 4 interesting/solid/good pieces and then one guy who is a clear throw in. That's a pretty good haul for 2 months of a player.

Yeah it's honestly pathetic that the Pirates payroll is like $43 mill right now.

I do like the idea of a later date. You keep them down and you only get them for 6 years and a couple months or just 6 full years if you call them up sooner.
