November 30, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I gotcha and makes sense. Just feels like now would have been a good time to splurge on a starter since Keuchel will come off the books next year and we really have nobody waiting in the wings. Bassitt would be a fine addition, but a little nervous to speculate on what he might cost even as a one year rental. I hear ya, and I don't disagree. Two questions regarding a potential Bassitt trade: 1. A Bassitt trade would be similar to the Lynn trade last year in terms of cost, right? 2. If we make a trade like that, who are the best free agent starting pitchers next offseason (assuming we don't extend Bassitt like we did Lynn)? I suppose Google can quickly tell me the answer to that, so I'll get on that as soon as I hit "Reply".

Unfortunately, we don’t have any top 100 prospects, but maybe they would take Burger as a centerpiece. We’ll have to wait and find out I guess.

November 30, 20214 yr This was a good deal. I’m happy for the Mariners. Those fans have been through some poop.

We’ll have to wait and find out I guess. They would probably want Sheets and Burger…as they’re still likely to trade Olson. Chapman needs to build his value back first half.
November 30, 20214 yr This stings, not a ridiculous contract that any contending team could have offered.
