Squirmin' for Yermin

Exactly. Most of these SoxTalk proposals I've seen seem to be crazy light.

yup

Getting Ashby for Eloy would be wild.

I'd be surprised if you had to offer him that much, but yeah, I'd offer him something. Flaherty 1/10, Giolito 1/12. Maybe even try to get 1/15 team options on both. If not, you're protected with the QO if all things go right for them.

Flaherty and Giolito would be great gets. Potential QO if they pitch really well, OR if they pitch really well trade deadline pieces. We will suck anyways so if they suck, who cares.

Sure there are cases where that's bad.. There are also minor cases where nothing comes of it. Who knows, has there been any report?

IDK where else to put this. I just looked at Whitesox.com's depth chart and it lists Kopech as a bullpen piece. I find that interesting.

Dream Trade: Cease and Santos for Cowser/Kjerstad, Mayo and Ortiz

I also agree that a package should look similar to what you laid out here.

That's a good question

Seems so light, not to mention trading our two biggest assets for players who only play 60% of the time. Pass

If i remember right he had something pop up in his elbow medical.

Agreed. I don't love them as a Cease trade partner for your reasons listed. If you could get a 3rd guy, maybe that pushes them over. But their 1 & 2 should be able to be beaten by many others.

Dodgers seem to make a ton of sense then given this comment. They were rumored in a few weeks ago, then today a Braves report. Which sounds like a leak since it makes no sense since they couldn't pull it off.. Who has been their biggest NL threat? Dodgers. Maybe trying to push the Dodgers over?

One team standing out?

I'm a @Y2Jimmy0, @fathomor @ChiliIrishHammock24 guy myself.

Yeah if we are only getting one top 100 prospect and then some other guys, I would just risk holding him till the deadline.

Most of these propsals seem soooo light to me.

You don't think (or are hearing) we would do something like this.... right?

That sounds like a dump.. yikes.

He's totally gunna get traded to the Giants for Harrison and Luciano.

Yikes, I would hate the Braves as a trade partner. Unless you're somehow getting someone on their MLB team like Albies (which isn't happening)

Can we not draft someone, and then cut someone?

Gosh I want the Orioles to make a move. I don't like these Dodgers packages. They're missing that headliner imo.

I'd have had one of the spots pinned for a Sosa/Rodriguez tryout.
