January 25, 20197 yr Tyler Johnson and Steele Walker would be acceptable. The Sox are flush with relief and OF prospects.
January 25, 20197 yr Just now, Soxbadger said: Or Steele... That's quite an early sell off for a guy you might only have for two years.

But anyway, never liked Rutherford, just don’t like idea of being like “these are the three outfield prospects we are going with, they will all hit”. I said fringe average, which I think is a fair representation of arm. Regardless, trading doesn’t mean we are going with three guys. It means we’re going with Eloy and plus two out of Robert, Basabe, Micker, & Gonzalez with Walker as a wild card behind them.
January 25, 20197 yr Rosenthal tweeted only 8 hrs ago that the Dodgers weren't close to trading Pederson. There are some big hints being dropped here that a Pederson deal will be announced tomorrow, but Rosenthal doesn't usually miss like that.

Rosenthal will put out what he's given though, just like all these guys. And Dodgers may have wanted a day of hardball via rosenthal

January 25, 20197 yr 3 minutes ago, Soxbadger said: If this happens, I unfortunately think sox fans aren't going to love the price. It's more than fair for me. I actually think holding on to Bryce Bush is more important than losing Walker.
January 25, 20197 yr 2 minutes ago, Whitesox27 said: If Robert is not part of the future, that would be extremely disappointing. He gets hurt constantly, he strikes out a ton at low MiLB, and he has shown zero power thus far. I’ll be happy to eat crow, but I don’t think he makes it. I want at least three above average MLB OFers. In Eloy, we get a superstar, and in Gonzo and Blake we get two borderline all-stars. OF in 2021-2022 becomes capable of putting up 13 WAR per season, consistently. I won’t be disappointed at all.

Hard to argue with it if you are the casual fan seeing the depth of outfielders in the system right now without knowing the system much, especially if you are planning to move one of moncada or Anderson to the outfield at some point to make room for Madrigal in the next year.
January 25, 20197 yr I feel like this thread is the spring training for the inevitable MM signing. Lots of heat tonight, should break soon. We need to use this to get ready!

January 25, 20197 yr 17 minutes ago, ChiSoxJon said: That's because he isn't...Think Walker and Johnson You think of Johnson, I will think of Bush.
January 25, 20197 yr Just a few notes: - Joc was in LA today doing community outreach prior to the Dodgers version of soxfest coming up this weekend - Dodgers still haven't announced the Pollock signing, even though his physical is done. That signals additional deals on the horizon to me.

January 25, 20197 yr 12 minutes ago, Princess Dye said: Hansen right now would be so titanically sell-low On the surface I would hate it, but I would also then think the Sox know he is broken on the first reflection.
January 25, 20197 yr 13 minutes ago, TomPickle said: I would be filled with mirth if this deal somehow included the poor man's Joc Pederson, Daniel Palka (who despite his terrible defense I think fits better as an NL 5th OF/pinch hitter). Of course there is a zero percent chance that happens though. Dodgers have loved our depth pieces much more than one would expect.

It also kind of suggests they’re out on Harper, which seems like something they would only do if Machado was on board.
January 25, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, fathom said: It's more than fair for me. I actually think holding on to Bryce Bush is more important than losing Walker. I dont like 2 years of control, unless there are more moves to make the Sox much more competitive. 1 minute ago, beckham15 said: Hard to argue with it if you are the casual fan seeing the depth of outfielders in the system right now without knowing the system much, especially if you are planning to move one of moncada or Anderson to the outfield at some point to make room for Madrigal in the next year. If youre moving Anderson/Machado next year to of, you have Eloy and Robert etc, why are you spending prospects to get Pederson for 2 years? Seems maybe better to use prospects to get pitchers or guys with more control. I guess thats just a casual fan question.
