Even if the Sox decided to trade Kopech which they will not do ,Texas would or should take Kopech alone for 1.4 years of Gallo and then they decide to throw in 3 other players ?

July 16, 20214 yr So, they'll trade Kopech when Rodon and Lynn are about to leave for FA? I don't see that happening.
July 16, 20214 yr I'm hoping this post doesn't age well. It's hard to imagine anything significant getting done until maybe the 25th of July. 10 more days of hell looking for something orange on my screen that isn't just speculation.

If I had to guess the trade deadline haul it would be Escobar and possibly a pen arm (not necessarily in the same trade) Sox may aim higher, but I think they will find pricetags too steep
July 16, 20214 yr Burger is someone you trade in a package for a core piece moving forward. You don't trade him for a rental or a 1.4 year guy who would play out of position next year.

I do agree with you about the potential moves, Escobar and a reliever for a couple of middling minor leaguers.

I think it's also that there really isn't much out there other than rentals. There's no team looking to trade anybody cost controlled for more than a couple years from what I've seen. You've also got a number of teams that don't really need a lot of help to win their division and won't be overpaying. Buyers and sellers seem pretty well balanced overall with a number of teams, especially in the NL, that are probably 50/50 on buying or selling and would probably have to think they got a big win either way to make a move.
July 16, 20214 yr There hasn't been much talk about the Sox making a deal with the Marlins. Marlins GM Kim Ng started off with the White Sox. She may proceed cautiously since this will be her 1st Trade Deadline and has to make an impression that she won't be a pushover.

We make those threads about guys who were traded away to help turn a 73 win team into a 76 win team or a 76 win team into a 78 win team. 2. We also reserve the right to make those threads about any guys who were traded away for a pittance and immediately turned into the top prospect in all of baseball. A big difference right now...this is not a 4th place team! But yeah, if you trade away someone as a throw-in and then 12 months later they're the top prospect in baseball, you'd probably hear about them for a while again.
July 16, 20214 yr I am very happy with our current position. 15 teams are 8 or more games back of first in their respective divisions. Therefore half the teams in baseball should be sellers IMO. Our need is a rental 2nd baseman upgrade, and 1 or 2 quality relief pitchers. Just shouldn't be very hard to find those improvements without giving up our high-end prospects.

As much as Burger is a good story his future is not with us. Also our first 2 draft picks this year may be moved to 3b.

Burger/Stiever/Ramos/Rodriguez/Dalquist for Frazier E6boObpXMAwDQFM.jfif That would be a horrific trade...where did that proposal come from?
