Word in industry this morning is #Nats have intensified their efforts to acquire a reliever after last night's walk-off loss. @MLB

If we could get Robles and/or Fedde for Robertson I think I would be pretty pleased.

Come on Sox! Push Robertson on them.

Robertson, $17M in cash and Gonzalez for Giolito.

Some of these suggestions are ridiculous. If Robertson was somehow made a free agent now, what would his contract be?

Probably a little more than it is right now. Probably would look at a deal of 2/$29 given the current market.

More than it is currently, in all likelihood.

 

But I agree with your point - the Sox aren't getting Giolito for Robertson. lol

Agreed. I expect 2-3 solid prospects and I'd be ok with that. Not a team's best prospects.

Robertson for Michael Taylor and mid-level prospect is my guess

That makes sense. Either that or 2 A ball prospects.

That's about fair I guess. As a side note, he was #32 prospect in baseball a couple years ago and now he's relatively terrible.

I'd rather not take on a prospect who has failed.

Are there any rules on trading just signed international prospects like there are on just drafted Rule-4 prospects?

 

If not then I wouldn't mind Washington throwing in one of their SS's they signed this year (Luis Garcia, Yasel Antuna, Jose Sanchez) with Jakson Reetz. How about Reynaldo Lopez for Robertson?

Why in the world would the Sox do that? If that's all anyone offers for Robertson, keep him.

I think Fedde and Jackson Reetz would be a good return for Robertson.

Robertson is owed a lot of money in the coming years. I think the return in prosects will be very limited unless the White Sox are covering part of the future salary. My guess is he stays w us.

 

@BNightengale The Washington #Nats, desperate for a late-inning reliever, are now scouting the #WhiteSox bullpen to determine a possible fit.

Yes!!! It's happening!

Nothing doing just yet, Nightengale is just stumping for the Sox. There's a lot of options out there.

I mean not really. Lucas Harrell just got the Rangers soon to be proclaimed #9 prospect. Pitching is scarce.

It was mostly Dario Alvarez that got that return.

 

Anyways it might come down to who asks the least exorbitant price.

They were both acquired roughly 2 months ago. Pitching is expensive. The thing with the Nationals is they have to give in because they dont have a choice.
