#Dodgers have indeed made trade, as @jcrasnick reported, but not with #WhiteSox, source tells The Athletic. In process of calling players.

 

well this is awkward...

 

Haha. We hardly knew you Kemp

Hmmmmm, certainly awkward

Sources: The Dodgers are close to finalizing a three-team trade that would bring LHP Scott Alexander to LA, send RHP Trevor Oaks to KC and send LHP Luis Avilan to White Sox.

Wow gonna be prospects involved as Alexander is a stud

As noted before - the only salary the White Sox would really care to shed is Shields, and he's not signed in 2019 so there's no real way the White Sox can send any money back to balance this.

 

That means the only money moving in the deal would be Kemp's deal. The White Sox would basically be taking on $40 million or so in order to get talent from the Dodgers. That's comparable to the price the White Sox paid for Robert, give or take the penalties.

 

In other words, for any version of this to make sense for the White Sox...they better be getting absolute gold back. Not a reclamation project like Joc - or at least not "only Joc", you need a very strong package to make this fair for the White Sox. You want guys who, 14 months ago, would be the top prospect in the White Sox system.

Chances of a team taking on Kemps entire contract? Zero.

If they want to give you Verdugo for it, sure

Who did the Sox give up?!

Of all the trades we could be a part of, this is one of them.

Ken Rosenthal‏Verified account @Ken_Rosenthal 2m2 minutes ago Minor leaguers also involved in trade - #Dodgers, #WhiteSox, #Royals each getting one, per source.

So basically a deal to get a solid lefty reliever

(I’ve never heard of any of these guys )

There could still be more.

(I’ve never heard of any of these guys )

 

I already hate this deal.

 

Avilan's stats are actually not too bad for what it's worth.

Alexander was that nasty lefty reliever on KC last year that threw everything below the knees

Avilan's stats are actually not too bad for what it's worth.

 

Actually really good

Jake Peter heading out.

Avilan is a lefty too. Can't really complain. Sox need pen help and he could be a flip candidate at the deadline.

Joakim Soria is also going to the White Sox in the three-team deal.

And Soria to the Sox too...
