baseball_gal_aly Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) I don't know off the top of my head....what other bad contracts exist with 1 or 2 years left that the Sox could swap Moncada for? Has to be similar money Edited August 25, 2023 by baseballgalaly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 The last thing Reinsdorf's going to authorize is taking on MORE bad financial commitments...it's bad enough with Moncada and Benintendi already, not to mention Eloy (although his options can be declined.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Chris Sale and Patrick Corbin are potentially two high names on this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Sale for Moncada part 2 would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Sox Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Manaea is my best guess in this scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Better for the slim hope Yoan is healthy and be flipped for something next July vs. getting new suckage, especially if signed beyond 2024. He will be motivated for a new contract, time will tell if his body and mind will allow it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 If the White Sox offered Moncada to Miami and agreed to pay all of his salary and wanted Burger in return, does anybody think the Marlins would make the trade? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtful any team would want without something approaching his 5.1 WAR .915 OPS 2019 season, which is never going to happen. He needs to significantly improve his health and performance to reach .750 next year. Sunk Cost: $24.8M in 2024 + $5.0M 2025 Buyout ($20M more to extend and play in 2025). He will be owed $8M + $5M at the 2024 deadline, if he's playing well and the Sox eat some/all money, they could get something in return, better than a pre deadline DFA IMO.

I found a way to get Griffey and Bonds in the same outfield….and we really didn’t have to give up that much! for real though, not trading Tatis Jr. for shields is just the outside the box thinking that this franchise needs.

Bob Sacamano Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Moncada and cash for Marco Gonzales is the closest when I looked a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont give away my money. We have prospects in the minors we could add as a sweetener to move this contract. Our new GM Getz hasnt beent through the training part about bundling our international trading dollars onto it as well.

At least he’s a good third baseman and maybe he’s actually healthy next season and ends up worth more than half of what he gets paid.

Bob Sacamano Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Pretty much just hope Ramos tears up the minors next year and forces his way if we are getting the current version of Moncada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
