Dick Allen Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I hope the Sox have a couple of extra players traveling with them so if they trade a couple of guys, they aren’t playing short again. Not that winning matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the honeymoon phase with the renewed evergy and focus, etc. And honestly, I hope he (and Gio) do well there. Hell, hope they do well enough to help get Trout and Ohtani into the playoffs for baseball's sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Final predictions for today since I’ll likely be out of pocket when all the action finally goes down: Trade #1: BAL gets: RHP Dylan Cease & RHP Kenyan Middleton CWS gets: 3B Coby Mayo, OF Heston Hjerstsad, LHP DL Hall, & LHP Cade Povich Trade #2: TEX gets: Aaron Bummer CWS gets: RHP Brock Porter No other trades. I think they only move Tim if they get a Cease package they like, but my guess is that comes down to the last few minutes and they won’t the time / bandwidth to make further deals.

I’d be pretty disappointed if Mayo is one of the headliners from the o’s in a cease deal. He’s highly likely to play 1B in the bigs. The power is legit, but you lose one of his main tools in his arm at 1B. I just really want to avoid the lumbering RHH 1B types right now, and Mayo is that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free to the Sox, cheap to another team. Clevinger 50% - Looked good in his return getting up to 96 consistently. Everyone needs pitching, not a lot of sellers. Bummer 25% - Would be a fit for teams that need help but have less than great chances at the playoffs like the Cubs, Red Sox, Seattle, Miami, AZ. Grandal 20% - Not sure anyone will take him. Sox would probably have to kick in $4m or so which I assume JR would sign off on for to save $2m or so. Jimenez 15% - Lack of consistency, lack of defensive value and lack of suitors. Brewers traded for Canha. Unless Marlins make a splash, I think Sox revisit trading Eloy in the offseason. Cease 15% - Market would seem to have opportunity but if Reinsdorf want to compete next year there is no way they can even pretend they could compete without Cease (even in the AL central) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d bump Clev to 55%. Think someone takes a flier. I think Middleton, Grandal, Elvis and Clevinger all go today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 (edited) Rosenthal's latest. Quote The White Sox While open to moving everyone on their roster, few in the sport expect them to seriously engage on right-hander Dylan Cease and center fielder Luis Robert Jr. Reliever Keynan Middleton, however, could be the sixth pitcher they trade in a span of seven days. https://theathletic.com/4738683/2023/08/01/mlb-trade-deadline-mets-orioles-yankees-tigers/ Edited August 1 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouting reports I read suggest average 3B defense with plus arm. Obviously if don’t project to be average there, then go for a different centerpiece (running out of options though). But the thought of Kjerstad & him at the Rate is sexy AF. We need to start investing in power and not slap-hitting LFs like Benintendi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I'll play. Percentages + destination. Robert - 5%, Dodgers (monster package if this happens) Cease - 30%, Orioles Burger - 20%, Brewers Bummer - 50%, Reds Anderson 60%, Blue Jays Clevinger 60%, Rays Grandal - 25%, Yankees Eloy - 20%, Brewers (either/or with Burger) MIddleton - 100%, Orioles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Middleton for a 15-20 piece. Clevinger for a 10-15 piece. If TOR offers Barger then TA is gone. Burger I have no clue...MIL was the best fit but that door now seems closed. Bummer unlikely to move unless Cease moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox ask from the Reds would start with McClain and Marte and I doubt they would entertain that Petty is a solid pitching prospect, but Marte + Petty + third piece still feels light in this market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
