Your right. I should’ve put so far.

Would you guys rather roll with Sheets/Vaughn/Engel (what's left of him) in RF, or trade one of them and go with Joc Pederson?

If it means we get a real SP upgrade, trading Sheets and then signing Joc would be a good move

Tony Kemp has very little use on this roster now. 

He was my ideal 2B fit before the Harrison signing. Can't wait to see him get traded to another contender for a lottery ticket or cash

I wouldn't want to part with either Sheets or Vaughn if it's Manaea they're going after.

Damn even KC lol 

The Mets got a great deal for Bassitt. Now the A's got all these teams lining up over 2 SPs cause there aren't any left.

Sounds like either way the preferred RF choice wouldn't be coming. I guess it depends on which of the three is traded and what's the return.

I'd skip around my work office if we could head a trade for a viable starter for Sheets

Well if it’s gotten to a 4-5 team bidding war I wouldn’t hold my breath that the Whitesox win it 

Sox better hope A’s don’t mind MLB-ready players instead of prospects.  Rumor is they’re looking for prospects, which makes it seem like a long shot they can outbid these other teams.

Always confused when trade targets come on the Sox radar, and folks don't want to get rid of anyone at all, but still expect to complete the trade.

Why in the world, would you NOT want to move Sheets, for Manaea? He is exactly the guy we need, in the rotation.

Two cheap young power hitters, especially if one is a lefty, sets this team up well going forward. Manaea placates the offseason mood, but doesn't make this team any better vis-a-vis October.

Remember the Lance Lynn trade? It's what this board is all about. Premium players for junk.

But why? Why sign a player that is possibly worse in 2022, pay for the privilege and ship out a cost controlled asset as well?

this is what was supposed to happen with Kimbrel! It's not Hahn that is wrong, it's rest of MLB!

Oh yeah. If it's a prospect trade, they're cooked. The guys from Toronto were big league ready though. 

I think if the Sox trade for an A's pitcher that Reynaldo will be in the deal.  

Hey look, Reds adding salary when I was told yesterday there was no way the Reds would be taking back contracts (even tho they'd be dumping lots of it with that I proposed!) Good stuff 

Puzzling move tho

I also don't think Manaea is a great guy to run out in the playoffs. He's probably the 4th guy in the rotation. Not worth selling what little we have in the farm for that.

Reynaldo is already in arb 2. I don't know if they'd be interested in him. Maybe to give some starts to and flip at the deadline, but that doesn't have a ton of value.

I don't. He doesn't have any value without options. Lambert could be in it though.
