December 7, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) Even if it was Giolito/Lopez? Yes.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:52 PM) Without Turner or Robles, we have to be talking about a quantity type of deal, otherwise I am going to be pretty pissy about the return. i hope Turner is the main return piece, but i'm sure they aren't giving him up for Eaton.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) LOL I didn't see you say this I just despise that team and it's front office. But if they want to give us prospects fine. We could have theoretically a top 10 farm system after this trade.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:54 PM) + had better not mean just one more player. Nah man. The + is Turner!
December 7, 20169 yr Anyone know how I can stream just the audio from MLB network or some other radio station with coverage? I'm stuck driving all day.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) Yes. Ya, I'm with you on this one.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:51 PM) This organization can find pitching. I want position players man. This... If they come out of this firesale with a ton of arms and then boom/bust lower level hitters - it will be safe to call this a failure. Which was what a lot of people feared allowing this regime to handle a rebuild. Regardless of the pitching talent acquired, you did not do what was desperately needed. If you weren't going to load up on hitters, you should've kept these guys who are under control and just continue to spiral in mediocrity while hoping your drafting gets better. It's almost as if they're oblivious to how bad they are at developing, scouting and drafting hitters.
December 7, 20169 yr I think nationally, people would say Giolito/Lopez is a good return. But man, I had a dream of Anderson/Moncada/Robles up the middle. That's hard to shake.

We could have theoretically a top 10 farm system after this trade. And that's before trading Q, Abreu, Frazier, Robertson, Jones, Melky, and adding the next 3 draft crops, the next two of which will likely have top 3-5 picks. This farm system is going to be #1 before it's all said and done.
December 7, 20169 yr What does this mean? Byron Kerr @masnKerr 3m3 minutes ago I'm hearing it's not straight up trade "multiple players" for Eaton says source https://twitter.com/masnKerr
December 7, 20169 yr I really think the Sox need to rebuild on position players, but I can't be mad at Giolito/Lopez/+

Byron Kerr @masnKerr 3m3 minutes ago I'm hearing it's not straight up trade "multiple players" for Eaton says source https://twitter.com/masnKerr That we're getting more than one player back. Which should be obvious, given Adam's value. Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Jose Abreu

December 7, 20169 yr One thing about Giloto as a start of a return he is the best pitching prospect in the game. So technically we in two days would get the number one postion player and number one pitcher in the minors. And we still hold onto our second most value able piece (Q) for additional positional players, Robertson, Fraizer, Melky, Laurie, Jones, shields, etc we can trade for other high ceiling postion players. Gotta just Hahn has a plan and expects to get position players elsewhere and are taking advantage of getting Gioloto. Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Frank_Thomas35

December 7, 20169 yr Jon HeymanVerified account @JonHeyman Eaton deal to Nats is indeed close. Was 6 WAR player last year BK tells me

Byron Kerr @masnKerr 3m3 minutes ago I'm hearing it's not straight up trade "multiple players" for Eaton says source https://twitter.com/masnKerr IT MEANS TRAE TURNER IS HAPPENING!!!! But really, probably Giolito and Lopez are the headliners.

I think we were gonna see a regression in Giolito ranking in March. But Urias is best in game hands down. I'd put Urias Reyes Giolito Giolito still great talent but he's risky.

December 7, 20169 yr Giolito plus Jon Heyman @JonHeyman now23 seconds ago Eatin will go to nats in deal. Giolito plus to chisox.
December 7, 20169 yr Would be so sweet if STL comes in and snatches him up with a deal including Kolten Wong. Someone being used as leverage besides us for once. I would lol hard if it happened twice.
