Ross Gload Fan Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 The way this conversation is going you would think they are all sitting at a table right now staring at each other and making offers back and forth, when in all likelihood, they are sitting at home eating chicken wings and not thinking about this for like a week.

Mbs1969 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Remember a 250 million offer from Yankeees is worth substantially less in NYC because of their state tax. The White Sox will get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be giving Philly and NY ideas of not going after him. He absolutely wants to go to Philly or NY and they should absolutely save their money to throw at him then! 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don’t believe Philly has the ammo to pull off such a trade off. Like does Hoskins, Sanchez, & Medina even start a conversation? That’s their best young player who’s still controllable for quite some time plus their top two prospects. I don’t think that’s even close enough to get a dialogue going.

I didn't mean it that way. I meant trading away high-value positional strength in the minors. Like Sox trading our top pitching or outfield depth...any prospect is expendable for trout is kinda how I meant it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Also, not that anyone should care, but I’ve switched my preference to Machado over Harper. Despite feeling strongly about what Bryce could represent for the franchise, several posters here have made compelling cases for Manny and the objective side of me agrees if it has to come down to one. That being said, I would still somehow love to land both, but am willing to admit it’s a long shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I think trout leaves because the Angels are stuck in neutral and he should be the MLB poster boy and NY or Philly may give him that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 If I were the Angels and my team was struggling prior to Trout's Free agency, I'd trade him at the break and get a HELL of a lot back from it. Jeez, can you imagine that? On Machado: Mildly surprised that he didn't sign anywhere in the first week of January, but I expect him to sign this upcoming week. That, to me, was always the prime point. I figured he'd sign in the second week or possibly first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
