That guy made the most vague bullshit statement about Story getting traded And people treat it like gold. he is saying that a 2022 free agent on a dog shit team is gonna get traded somewhere soon but he doesn't know specifics, come on. This isn't news, everyone knows he is gonna be traded Right. It's really not that hard to be a pretend insider. You look at the teams likely to sell and if they have expiring contracts (or another year left of control), look at the holes on good teams, and then when a deal doesn't come together you just say selling team was asking for too much.

GermanSoxFan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I also always like that deals are 100% done according to fake insiders, but the teams are holding off on announcing a trade because of reasons.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Looking at his numbers, not that excited about Story. Splits away from Coors are awful too. Not worth the price as he will probably cost more than Escobar due to the fact that they can offer him a QO this off-season if that is still a thing.

Dick Allen Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Didnt Portillos supposedly stop because he didn’t want his source exposed? So if this is true and Story is on the move, it can’t be to the White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Anyone catch the bit on the ESPN feed last night while Story was batting during the Derby? They had someone on reporting that the Rockies explicitly told teams that they would not listen to offers on Story until after the ASG, but then acknowledged everyone expects him to move. The curious bit was that Ravich's next line was about how teams will certainly be interested in him and specifically mentioned the White Sox as the type of team that might be interested. Didn't mention anyone else. Probably just a throw-away line from Ravich but I found it interesting that he mentioned us and no one else; he didn't have to do that.

he gone. Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 In terms of impact v. cost v. fit I'd take Frazier, Marte, Story in that order. Story with the QO tied to him means the Rox will need something decent back in return. I'm okay with a Stiever, Adolfo, type package. Would shy away from Kelley or Burger in a package. Burger intrigues me. Was a pure bat in college and 4 years later, without really even picking up a bat for 2 years of that, he was top 5 in OPS in AAA (with not playing above what, single A before that) and holdign his own in the majors. There's something to be said about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hard no on Frazier with secondary 40 man garbage stuff. Story obviously isn't going to cost an arm and a leg, but I think would require at least Burger ++.

Semi-related, but if there's one team I'd enjoy seeing Adolfo on that's not the Sox, it's Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 I don’t think it’s worth it to take Blackmon for 3 months of Story, personally. That could come at cost of Lynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current generation of fake insiders had or have someone in the accounting department or an outside firm that doesn't accounting for the Sox. I guess that is technically an insider. BUT they can't help themselves, they can't just report the good stuff. They constantly speculate and lump it together with their actual scoops. It is 98% them guessing, 2% confirmation of rumors because they've seen the paperwork. The vibe around these parts is people are pretty much over the insider crowd... which is a good thing.

Let me put it this way, Leury Garcia has a better OPS+ than Blackmon, at almost $20,000,000 less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, unless it was part of a bigger deal that got the Sox a player that helps for the next few years, Blackmon is a non-starter in a trade.

Yeah, Marquez + Story + Blackmon + cash is at least something worth considering, but its a video game trade that has no real basis in reality.
