Chicago White Sox Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I’m a Bummer fan, but doesn’t seem like he’ll ever fully click here. Definitely move him if you can get value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 1 hour ago, caulfield12 said: The next Matt Thornton or Damaso Marte for some other organization... Not even remotely the same. Bummer had a real good 3-4 year stretch of being an actual MLB player and a dominant one at that. Marte and Thornton had early issues in their careers being established (and throwing strikes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) This is where they could get a significant return, esp if you find a team in dire need of a LH reliever and a bat, if u package him with Burger, you could get another Top 100 prospect plus an additional solid piece.

Chisoxfn Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 If they can get something - move him. Dude can’t stay healthy. Yes his arm is very good - but if you can sell his long term viability and lefty arm do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Advanced stats, streakiness, and everything else, gosh this is one guy I don’t think I’ve had confidence in for the last 3 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Definitely seems like a seller's market based on the Gio trade. If a team wants to overpay for Bummer, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays with one arm tied behind his back after he walks the first batter of every inning. Giving that free pass so frequently is what causes so much volitility with him, and I'd be ok removing that anxiety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 If anyone offers a premium for him (or Santos), then sure. While his salary for next season is ridiculous, they'll just sign some other ridiculous reliever to replace him. I'd rather them use Kelly and Graveman for dumping purposes.

Capn12 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 If Hahn is seriously taking a hard 'no' stance against trading Bummer, as some tweets have suggested, then....well he's still as disillusioned as we feared. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahn made it sound like his boss had a lot more wheeling & dealing to do over the next couple of days. No way he only meant Middleton and maybe Grandal or Clevinger. I’d put odds of Bummer going at like 75%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get much and will just sign some old guy to replace him; or rush Crochet back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I’m gonna say bummer in front of the cubs defense instead of the little league defense of our infield may indeed work out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Is it my imagination or is Bummer the least clutch reliever in recent white Sox history? Seems like the last few years when we’ve needed him to come through he can’t throw strikes. In meaningless games and when we’re out of contention he’s great.

If they take a valuable resource like Bummer under control for 2.5 years and boat anchor him with Grandal just to move him to save a buck then the fans should riot.
