Messing around before heading home, I got Thomas + a filler for Montgomery to work. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ I used this guy and it adds a back of the rotation pitcher. https://www.mlb.com/player/tommy-henry-674072?stats=career-r-pitching-minors&year=2022 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not quite a logjam as Varsho can catch (Carson Kelly was awful last season) and Kyle Lewis sounds like a DH at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Vaughn for Alek Thomas an OF that can actually play OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) A Yankee fan in an MLBTR chat kicked around Thomas for Oswaldo Cabrera and I felt like that made too much sense for both for it not to happen.

Edit: doesn’t look like much for Lewis, though I didn’t want him anyway. Given we have two OFs our roster you decide to start Colas opening day, this is a trade we should have made even if just for depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett was called up by Arizona in August and immediately let his presence be known. In 27 games, Garrett slashed .276/.309/.539 while putting up a 131 wRC+ and 0.5 fWAR. Garrett has potential due to his mix of speed and raw power. However, there are legit concerns about his swing-and-miss tendencies and overall plate discipline, which manifested at the major league level in the form of a 32.1 strikeout percentage and 3.6 walk percentage. Still, considering the fact that he has options remaining and has proven he can handle major league pitching, there’s no reason to believe Garrett won’t be claimed and given a chance to earn a role next spring. Which is why I want the Sox to claim him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of teams are going to be interested in this guy and Jimmy also thinks he should be on the Sox radar. Plenty of good hitters have high K rates but I suppose you rather have Adam Engel, Vaughn and Sheets in the OF . If he was a perfect player he'd be a superstar instead of DFA'd. But good job of focusing on the negatives ! Kyle Lewis is a shell of his former self .

Once DFA'd teams have a week to work out a deal with someone. There's still around 4 days left in that week. I do know he hit his 1st MLB HR off of Cease and later against SF he hit one off of Rodon.

You don't run across guys like him often on the DFA list. He's got legit speed , defense and power. Would be tremendous depth piece for the Sox as a 4th OF defensive replacement and power PH off the bench with a chance to start if someone goes down and show off his skills .Still has rookie status , options and all his eligibility. Definitely a pull hitter type but he did have a couple of singles through the right side and a double down the RF line that almost got out. But for the most part he pulls the ball for doubles and HRs. 11 of his 1st 20 hits with the Dbacks were for extra bases which is why he had that .538 SLG and 131 wRC+ in his 27 games with the Dbacks. 83 percentile in Sprint speed. He'll be 27 in 5 days so maybe he can celebrate it as a White Sox ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
