I wanted him as like a third piece in an LAD Cease trade. If the Dodgers were willing to part with him so easily for 40 man space we should have done something. 15 minutes ago, fathom said: Sweeney is a pretty good prospect Sweeney is a legitimate prospect and does not require being added to the 40 man roster Dodgers needed to free up two 40 man spots for Ohtani and Kelly, so this helps them with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Any chance the Dodgers might include Sweeney in a package for Cease? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Sweeney slides in as Dodger prospect #18, per MLB.com If he's someone we want, we should be able to make a deal with them pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still only 22, he is a reasonable bet to bounce back and is still young for level. Some of the luster certainly wears off after posting a wRC+ of 71 in AA though. I think he may be viewed as too risky to headline a major trade right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming MLB rankings are reasonably accurate, the Dodgers don't have an elite prospect and really none in that next category either. Their top is #43. And their prospects are older. I don't expect an elite prospect for Cease, but I would think we'd need some volume from the Dodgers for it to work, especially if they hold back their #1 and #2, as teams want to do.

SoCalChiSox Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) I wonder if as @CaliSoxFanViaSWside mentioned the Sox don't want Busch because he's bat only and maybe they want Lux (we were rumored to want him before) to play 2B for now since Busch doesn't have the glove for it and also as insurance in case Montgomery has to move to 3B soon and this is LAD way of getting a prospect with a 2024 ETA to quickly backfill Lux's spot in a trade? If LAD offered Lux (2B/SS), Pages (RF) and a SP, I feel Getz would accept it. In this hypothetical, there is significant risk in the fact we are getting two guys coming off legit injuries but they'd prolly be unavailable otherwise.

hogan873 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Lux, Pages/Stone, and Sweeney? I get the feeling LA will want deal Lux, and if I remember correctly, he was rumored to be part of a potential package at the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux and Pages each come with injury concerns that would make that a pretty questionable deal Lux only has three remaining seasons of control as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it the type of move where you are light on top 50 guys but you get a lot more Top 150-200 level guys. A guy like Lux is kind of the equivalent - in the sense that he has the upside of a Top 50 guy, but injuries and other stuff obviously drives up his risk. You also obviously get less years of control for Lux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
