December 1, 20187 yr 5 minutes ago, Wanne said: Giolito • Collins • Basabe • Fulmer for Realmuto then trade Castillo for whatever. Marlins say no. I would think one of Robert/Eloy/Cease would need to be there to get them to jump.

Doesn't mean the Marlins wouldn't ask for him though. If Kopech hadn't gotten hurt, they'd ask for him too.

December 1, 20187 yr I’d say Clint Frazier is a much better prospect than Zach. Ellsbury has to be better than Engel. Decent outfield for now, Eloy-Ellsbury-Clint. Only $20M/yr for the whole group. Edited December 1, 20187 yr by Baker

Only $20M/yr for the whole group. Ellsbuy may be better than Engel, but that’s a low bar to cross and doesn’t account for the $45M difference in salary over the next two seasons.
December 1, 20187 yr With Camargo relegated to a utility role, now would be good time to check in with the Braves on him. Send LuBob, Yolmer and Nicky D to Braves for Camargo and Bryse Wilson. Sign another Bryce for $375M/10, Pollock $50M/2, and Eovaldi $48M/3 Quite and increase in expenditure, but the lineup is potent and a lot of potential in the rotation as well. 1. CF Pollock 2. 3B Camargo 3. RF Harper 4. 1B/DH Abreu 5. LF Eloy 6. 2B Moncada 7. DH/1B Palka 8. C Castillo 9. SS Anderson Rotation: 1. Rodon 2. Lopez 3. Eovaldi 4. Giolito 5. Wilson Bench: Leury/Rondon/Seby Bullpen: lots of strong young arms, sign a veteran to help stabilize. Edited December 1, 20187 yr by thxfrthmmrs

December 1, 20187 yr I want the Sox to stay far away from the acquiring Realmuto. Not worth it!! and I’d cry if the Sox traded Robert for Carmargo.

December 1, 20187 yr 4 hours ago, Whitesox27 said: What is so special about Camargo and Wilson? I think I'd much rather take a gamble on Robert's upside unless I'm missing something. The word you used is gamble, for as good as Robert's tools are, he's a high risk/high reward type of guy and on top of that he's not been able to stay healthy. Camargo is already a 3-4 WAR switch hitter with above average bat and plus defender at both short and third base, cost controlled for next 5 years. Wilson is a projectable #3 type starter who debuted at 20 years old. You get 2 young players who are ready to contribute now for the upside/risk of Robert. Also if you sign Harper long term you have one less OF spot to worry about. Edited December 1, 20187 yr by thxfrthmmrs
December 1, 20187 yr Assuming we get neither Harper or Machado. Sign Happ 3/$42m, White Sox get: Haniger, Seager no $ Mariners get: Rutherford, Dunning, Rivera White Sox get: Greinke, Peralta, no $ Diamondbacks get: Basabe and Stephens Do both of those and your payroll goes up about $55m but you add anywhere from 12 to 18 WAR. Then you also have a corner OF/DH logjam with Hanniger, Peralta, Jimenez, Palka RF Haniger LF Peralta 1B Abreu DH Jimenez 3B Seager CA Castillo 2B Moncada SS Anderson CF Engel SP Greinke SP Rodon SP Lopez SP Happ SP Giolito CL Colome RP Jones RP Fry RP Burr RP Hamilton RP Bummer RP Ruiz
December 1, 20187 yr I didn't know Camargo had such a good season last year, but there's still no way I would give up on Robert right now.
December 1, 20187 yr 22 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Eloy is worth more than Realmoto, but I agree Robert or Cease (plus others) would need to be in the trade. I think the Marlins are going to be sadly underwhelmed with what they'll be offered. Can't see teams giving up top 5 prospects honestly. Maybe the Astros...that's about it.
December 2, 20187 yr If we do end up signing Harper or Machado, we are competing now. Doesn't make sense to wait 2 years and waste $70 millions of star salary to wait on Robert, who has the biggest variance of ceiling and floor of anyone in our farm. Of course, if we don't sign them it's a moot point.

The first trade just gives me a little pause because I'm not a big Seager fan...Hanniger though would be a great pickup.
