Trade Deadline Predictions Thread

Featured Replies

We can ride with what we have at SP. Cease and Cueto as the top two. With Kopech, Lynn and Giolito as the bottom 3. Our biggest priority should be a LH bat that can hit righties and the bullpen.

    White Sox acquire someone who will end up with a negative fWAR for the remaining two months by giving away their entire international pool allotment…

  • I predict a few minor moves that will improve the team, but nothing spectacular.  For example: Andrew Chafin Jose Quintana Tyler Naquin We'll hear that the Sox had discussions with Washi

    Sox need a lefty in the bullpen. They trade with Texas a lot. I predict Matt Moore is a White Sox in the next week.

I’m ok with them not gutting the system if we are simply talking rentals. If they are gonna pull off a trade like that I’d rather it be in the off-season when they aren’t trying to win the division and it’s easier to supplement your moves through FA.

One would think.

How many more innings are you planning on getting out of Kopech?

You have a good point there, maybe not that much since we don’t have his workload close to where it should be for a starter. Who would you see them acquiring though because it sounds like they don’t like how the market is going for SP’s?

Bummer and Lopez getting back on the field will help immensely.

It sounds like it is no guarantee Bummer will be back this season. 

My guesses:

Gallo, Givens and Matt Moore.

Best guesses at returns:

Joey Gallo +$1M for Kohl Simas

Givens for Jason Bilous + Seby Zavala 

Matt Moore for Luis Mieses

There's just no way you can give up anything of value for Joey Gallo. The Yankees have no leverage here, I wouldn't take him unless he was free.

Better than what we have right now.

Well it sounds like a handful of teams are interested, so you're going to have to give up something.  

A low level pitching prospect rated between 20-30 in a bottom 5 farm system in the game that is widely considered pretty terrible after the top 15 or so isn't very much.  

But yeah, I mean I'd acquire him for less if possible.

Not good news.  I thought he was expected back in September.

According to Hahn's latest statement, the hope is he'll be back in September.  But he definitely caveated that it is no guarantee. 

The Chicago White Sox acquired Joey Gallo and immediately put him in as their starting catcher.

They then acquired Juan Soto, converting him to a starting pitcher who never hits.

After this, they acquired Montas and put him in their bullpen as their long relief mop up dude.

Once all of these genius moves transpired they picked up Ozzie Smith and put him in right field.

The leverage is other teams want him . Nothing much probably ends up being given up for him but it will be probably higher than you think.

Where’s our Andrew Jones, Johan Santana, or Manny Ramirez?

And if that's the case, I don't want any part of it. At least not for Gallo.

teams will want him if the Yankees eat a lot of money.

There are more.  Ken Griffey, Robert Alomar (second time)..

He's only due, what, like $3M ROS?

Jimmy Rollins can be on that list.

thas still a decent amount of change with only 6 or so paychecks remaining for a guy who has been a replacement level player for over a year.
