Then you know we are only trading for past their prime players or young guys with no tools.

Question people, can my forum title be altered by anyone? My original title was Marlin make trade for Arezza Chaz could be available, or something to that effect. Now it’s very long title that I did not write. 

Only a mod can do that.

I do not understand why the marlins made this trade.

I needed to settle the Jazz vs. Chaz debate in the only neutral way possible.

Why did the Twins make this trade if they want to compete? Get younger and build around Correa?

I mean, they needed pitching really badly?

While that’s true, they also need offense. They  outscored the White Sox by a measly 10 runs in 2022 and that’s not very good. 

Not enough Chaz jizzholm talk in here TBH

Well, someone had to take the thread from the absurd, into the gutter.

I’m gonna guess twins correctly saw an option to sell high on a singles hitting first baseman

Precisely.

Shocked that Salas was thrown in the deal. He’s a big time sleeper prospect. Marlins often make strange moves. I would definitely be hitting them up about Jazz. You never know seems to not be very popular in the clubhouse.

It's a looooooong running Soxtalk joke to have fun with thread titles.  Relax.  Take the edge off.  No one actually cares, they are just playing along.

Fascinating trade.  Got to love Kim Ng’s inner White Sock coming out with her building a lineup of 2B and then using them wherever they have holes.  Jazz in CF, Segura at 3B, & Wendle at SS with the worst of the group in Arraez sticking at 2B.  Obviously the big difference here is they’re using 2B types vs. 1B/DH types, so much better chance of working, but still an interesting experiment.

Here I thought this was a serious thread discussion when we were arguing about Chaz Jizzholm.

Is Chaz Jizzholm a top 5 Chaz of all-time? DISCUSS

Twins did OK getting a decent starter plus two prospects for a one tool overhyped guy. Yes this was a sell high deal which makes the Twins look smarter than our do nothing team.

How do we acquire not one, but nine Chaz Jizzholm's?  I think we need one at every spot around the diamond.

 

See below from White Sox News, I'm not the only nut out there calling for Jazz/Chazz, whatever his name is

White Sox News: Chicago should be all-in on Jazz Chisholm Jr. following Friday's trade

One of the biggest trades of this Major League Baseball off-season took place on Friday afternoon. The Minnesota Twins traded reigning batting title winner Luis Arraez to the Miami Marlins in exchange for Pablo Lopez and two prospects. That is the definition of a blockbuster.

The White Sox obviously benefit from this move because of the fact that they won't have to face Luis Arraez as a member of a division rival anymore. He is an elite player against everyone but he seemed to be extra special when he was facing White Sox pitchers. It is good to see him shipped off.

With this trade though, it is easy to wonder what the Marlins are going to do. They already have Jazz Chisholm Jr. and they signed Jean Segura during the off-season. With Luis Arraez coming to town, what is their plan?

According to Kim Ng, they are going to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. to centerfield with Segura at shortstop and Luis Arraez at second base. It is an interesting strategy but it is also fair to wonder if another move is coming for them.

The Chicago White Sox are a team that could really use a 2B upgrade.

At the very minimum, the White Sox should be calling to check in on Chisholm Jr. He would fit into this team in every way. With how disappointing 2022 was, it would be nice to see them make a splash like this.

They desperately need an upgrade at second base but it sounds like they will roll with Romy Gonzalez and Lenyn Sosa as internal options. Chisholm is an All-Star caliber player that makes sense via a trade and the White Sox should be all in on trying to make a move like that.

He is also an outstanding hitter that has a proven track record in Major League Baseball now. This lineup would take a big step forward if he became a part of it.

Tim Anderson and Jazz Chisholm Jr. would make some great plays together if they were the team's two middle infielders. If Yoan Moncada and Andrew Vaughn had solid defensive years in addition to Chisholm joining the team, the entire makeup of the team could change for the better.

By default, right? I mean he's obviously behind Chaz Palminteri and Chaz Michael Michaels, but ahead of Chaz Bono. I can't even think of any more Chazzes to round out the top 5.

Isn't this the same guy who said like 24 hours ago that the Sox were done making moves?
