December 3, 20196 yr https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2019/12/03/zack-wheeler-chicago-white-sox-free-agent/2600148001/ Quote The Chicago White Sox, believing they can make a playoff push in 2020, are willing to pay a huge price for free agent starter Zack Wheeler, and have engaged in preliminary trade talks with the Los Angeles Dodgers for power-hitting outfielder Joc Pederson, according to two people with direct knowledge of the talks.
December 3, 20196 yr He'd be a good fit. Hopefully the talks from last year help springboard these discussions.

December 3, 20196 yr Just now, KnightsOnMintSt said: What kind of offer do we think lands Joc? Pilkington/Flores and maybe some lower level guy. Joc strictly is a platoon player with one year of control left on a $8,5 mil contract and is clearly expendable for the Dodgers. He doesn't have a ton of value.

Pederson is worth more than that on the trade market, especially coming off a 3.0 WAR season. Sox clearly are assessing the free agenct prices of Ozuna/Castellanos, compared to trade prices of guys like Joc and Starling Marte.

December 3, 20196 yr Kinda hoping they're leaking this because they're trying to get a FA OF to come down on price or are talking to another team about a trade. Edited December 3, 20196 yr by Sockin

December 3, 20196 yr 6 minutes ago, Chisox378 said: Can Joc play CF? He can probably fake it. I like Joc a lot and I don't think any prospect outside of Robert/Madrigal/Vaughn would really be off the table but I don't know what else we could really offer the Dodgers.
December 3, 20196 yr 4 minutes ago, Chisox378 said: Can Joc play CF? What do you have against Luis Robert???
December 3, 20196 yr I mean we have plenty of prospect capital to make this happen. My guess is some bullpen-type arms.
