Excellent. Beautiful response. This board has bow gianed so much knowledge from your response.

You responded to a long post with a two word "HA" so please don't try to take the high road and diss / troll this message board.

 

My post was thoughtful and responsive to the thread.

Urias was on the table for Sale at the deadline. What do you think has changed since then?

 

That would be such an awful trade on the face of it. Urias, best case, is basically Chris Sale who has no loyalty to your org and who will probably not be signing a pre-arb deal for 20-30% of what he'd get on the free market. Urias is a helluva talent but if you trade Chris Sale you trade for established production position players that are young (under 28 or so) but that have proven they can produce at an average or better level. Sox need more of those guys, especially in the OF.

Urias had a 1.99 ERA in 40 innings in the second half, versus 4.95 ERA in the first half. He went from someone who may need more seasoning in the minors to someone who has earned a spot in the big league rotation.

 

I think Dodger will still offer Urias for Sale, but not so much for Q, let alone a package featuring other top prospects, as suggested by OP.

With new management in the Twins system and Dozier becoming expensive soon, does anyone think that they might be willing to deal him?

I wasn't suggesting a 1 for 1, but the Dodgers literally announced publicly that they were willing to trade Urias in a package for Sale.

Lol - comments above.

 

One of the beat writers for the Star Tribune is the one who's so high on Taylor Rodgers.

 

Why bring up Suzuki? Because they need to pay for a new catcher, Dozier's projected increase or extension and Sale's salary...which are all going to expand payroll, although not as much as wasting money on Hughes and Nolasco did.

 

In asking for Buxton and Sano, it's the equivalent of everyone wanting both Moncada and Benintendi for Sale from the Red Sox, which was universally agreed wouldn't happen.

 

Finally, you're going to trust Steverson with Buxton, who has just now in the last six weeks started to figure things out at the major league level?

 

 

As far as not sending out garbage fifth starters, well that's true of only about 6-8 teams per year. Certainly not the White Sox in 2016.
