EvilJester99 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Trade is official: #White Sox acquiring Luis Avilán, Joakim Soria and cash considerations from #Dodgers for minor-league IF Jake Peter. LAD acquired Scott Alexander from #Royals in return for infielder Erick Mejia and right-hander Trevor Oaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two decent looking relief options can’t hurt. For a guy you were willing to let go for $50k, I agree.  I wonder if this deal helps KC sign one of their free agents or if it is the beginning of a rebuild. Their vaunted bullpen appears to be in shambles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears the Sox did pretty well too. Looks pretty much like a salary dump for the Royals and they gave up a pretty good piece to do so.

They are so deep in the middle infield right now, getting anything for him is a bonus as far as I am concerned. Realistically the only thing we "gave up" is the money for Soria as far as I am concerned.  Really nice work for Rick in the 3 way deal to get a player for basically nothing. They have Avilan for two more years if they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 QUOTE (Tony @ Jan 4, 2018 -> 06:33 PM) Sox are getting 3 mil as well So they have to pay Soria $7 million with the buyout. and Avilan probably between $1.5-2 million.

Dick Allen Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The fact that no team was willing to take Jake Peter in the rule 5 kind of makes you think losing him isn't going to bite you on the ass one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing dodgers needed Team to take salary to work out, called one Sox I always thought when they moved in together for spring training, the White Sox and Dodgers would be making more deals. When they shared with the DBacks, they seemed to deal with them a lot. I supposed they see the other organization a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
