Turner and Giolito are MLB players at this point. Turner obviously is.

 

Wasn't counting Giolito.

 

And also should have said established MLB players

Eaton for Giolito, Robles, & Lopez. Who says no, Hahn or Rizzo?

 

I know I'd take that trade in a heartbeat if I was Hahn. Doubt very much Rizzo would take it.

I think Hahn says no, TBH. At least right away. I guarantee he's asking the world for Q and Eaton.

Three top 40 prospects, including the #1 SP and #3 OF? That's the type of deal Hahn needs to take and run.

yay, more prospects that the Sox will turn into busts.

 

no, please, tell me more about how much minor league talent the Sox would get back by dealing Sale, Q, and Eaton .

Indeed he would.

But I don't think Rizzo would do that for Eaton or McCutchen. Frankly I don't think Rizzo would do it for Sale.

 

Peddling Eaton over Abreu surprises me. They must just like Abreu or maybe they think they can really can get a 6 WAR return for Eaton.

 

I'm good with a handful of high ceiling A ballers to replace a, say, 50-100 prospect. I look at Hahn's record and the best part of the Peavy trade were the A ballers. He also dumped Beckham for a legitimate A ball prospect (whom he subsequently squandered for a AAAA reliever).

Or maybe they simply think Eaton is at peak value and Abreu's value can improve significantly with a strong first half next year. If Abreu's second half is any indication, his value has nowhere to go but up.

Isn't trading Sale etc. supposed to change that?

 

I understand people would love to read how Keith Law raves about the White Sox minor leaguers, but it doesn't always translate to huge runs. Giving up good players with a lot of control for prospects is playing with fire.

I haven't read through the entire thread but this is my thoughts exactly. It seems like everyone is in love with prospects over guys that can actually play. I still say the Sox are a CF, C, and LH DH from being able to won the Central. Trading away guys like Sale and Eaton are more than likely going to give disappointing returns in the long run.

Interesting to read this thread from the beginning now that Eaton has been dealt

I think Hahn says no, TBH. At least right away.

 

It's funny because the proposed package that Ro Da Don said Hahn wouldn't accept (Gio, Robles, Lopez), is actually a better package than the one that Hahn DID accept, and yet everyone still universally ripped the Nats for making that deal.
