White Sox currently focused on a rebuild, but it's unclear whether they'll find offers acceptable to them for Chris Sale, Jose Abreu, etc.

I'm in a White Sox group chat on twitter. Over the past couple days, Ozzie Guillen Jr has been in there. He came in today and said that he's heard the Sox are close to trading Sale and Frazier to the Dodgers. That's all he had. No idea if it's true or not. Just thought I'd pass along.

That makes sense. I presume they aren't going to go long term with Justin Turner, which would make Frazier a good fit for them. They certainly have the pieces.

Are you serious? I don't have access to Twitter right now. I wonder what connections (if any) he has to the organization at this point.

Doubt he would know what is going on. Or even his father for that matter.

What's funny is they could have had him last year if they just cut the Sox out of the three-team deal involving the Reds, Dodgers and the Sox haha

Thanks for passing along soxpride.

Yeah I don't buy it until it comes from somewhere/someone credible.

If true, I imagine Urias, Puig, and De Leon are in the deal.

I really don't like the Dodgers as a landing spot for Sale from our perspective. Q, possibly, but not Sale.

Sale AND Frazier? Give me Urias, De Leon, Verdugo, Bellinger, Lux, and Puig/Pederson

Th Dodgers really need Sale the most. Maybe the Sox will get Trace back.

Not in love with Dodgers prospects either.

Rabbit did tweet about the Sox and Dodgers being good trade partners today

May help explain the timing on the Brett Lawrie oddity if an infielder is coming back as part of the package (i.e. Calhoun, Barnes to an extent).

Agreed. Not enough offensive pieces. If you trade Sale to the Dodgers, pretty much have to trade Q and Jones to Boston for as much offensive talent as you can get.

 

I assume they won't be trade Joc.

I'd prefer Urias, DeLeon, Lux, Bellinger, Barnes, and Puig as a throw in.

Give me Verdugo. Dude is gonna be a good one and could lock down CF.

Even that package isn't satisfactory to me, especially for both Sale and Frazier. I'd much rather talk to Boston (or maybe even Houston) and see if something can happen with them first.

Biggest problem with all of these trades is that the players we are receiving in return

 

A. Are mostly mlb ready and won't allow the Sox to tank for top picks.

B. Have only a year or two tops more team control than Sale/Q.

 

 

Bellinger looks like a stud, and they have 2 more top 100 position players plus some intriguing guys like Barnes or even Lux. In combination with De Leon or Urias I think there's plenty there to make it a great deal.

What? There's no guarantee they will be stars right away lol they will have their struggles and may never end up being good.

Being totally unfamiliar with the Dodgers system in general, do they have any catching depth?

 

Imagine when the Sox are in Spring Training and Sale is on the other side of the facility in Dodger Blue? Yuck. Just thinking of it makes me angry.

If you consider Barnes a catcher?

 

Dodgers have MLB players ready in Urias and De Leon. Bellinger and Verdugo finished the year in AAA and they both are 21.
