Tomtom Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Would they be in a better bargaining position if they kept him and waited for the trade deadline in August? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you just roll with what you have and see if you can build while trying to win. That’s fine too. most of us here lived through 2005 and are content knowing there will never be another white sox team to top them. The O's on the other hand have a chance to build their best team since Ripken started his streak... but they're balking over giving up their 2026 1B (Mayo) or 2025 RF (Cowser) and 2026 DH (Kjer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The thing is with these Orioles prospects, at some point, either fans of the Orioles or fans of the White Sox, wherever they may play, are going to think they suck. Look at all the prospects the Sox got for their 3 guys, Moncada, Kopech, suck. Eloy sucks. Cease used to suck. Gio used to suck, then sucked again. Lopez sucked usually, Dunning got traded for a guy who eventually sucked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year at this time, people on here would have said hell no to trading Colas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be the worst run organization in all of professional sports! Apparently, we were not as good as people thought. Likewise, I don't think we will be as bad as people think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they keep Cease and solve RF, I think this team could easily be better than last year's. You had negative WAR at 4 positions last year. Just putting replacement level players in RF, 2B, SS and C probably adds 5 wins. And just having options vs. Lynn/Kopech/Toussant/Scholtens adds a few more.

Seems to me the Sox are probably done making any multi-million dollar one year free agent signings, outside of picking up guys on very cheap or minor league deals. If Cease isn’t traded with an OF coming back, I don’t see who is reasonably solving RF outside of Colas. Also, the rotation is still likely to be terrible even with Cease in it.

Balta1701 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, Sports Guy said: 2) So because it happened with one, means it will happen again? When they traded Quintana, did they try the offseason before, not get what they want and then got more in July? (I don’t remember) either way, even if that’s what they did, it doesn’t mean it will work again Fwiw, yes, this is exactly how the Quintana deal went. I was starting to worry during the year because he started off the year poorly, even though some of his advanced stats were still good, then a huge offer came around in early July. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Quintana having a ton of value due to his multiple years of cheap control. 17:$6M, 18:$8.35M, 19:$10.5M club option ($1M buyout),20:$10.5M club option ($1M buyout) The best part of the trade at the time was that two posters on Reddit broke the trade, and they both had hilarious names that were published in ESPN, SI, etc. articles. https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2017/07/13/jose-quintana-trade-white-sox-reddit Good ol "KatyPerrysBootyHole" and "wetbutt23". 🤣 Edited January 12 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember this but I don't think there were a ton of rumors, in part because Hahn pulled off two other major trades that offseason with Boston and Washington so there weren't a ton of buyers left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
