Harold's Leg Lift Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 This trade is a product of the dumpster fire Getz inherited. I'm sure he would have liked to get a long term high impact player but I think that will come in the Cease trade. This trade he addressed defense, base running, makeup and pitching depth. You know the things Hahn thought were a punch line. I think he did very well to make the organization better and hopefully the higher impact players will come soon though Nicky was a 6 war player as an everyday SS two years ago. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Everyone seemed to be connecting Quantrill to the Sox. Guessing Sox knew last night and pivoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Soroka and Shuster will be in the rotation next year. Lopez will be the starting 2B. Shewmake could be the starting SS to start the season too. Gowens. If he does well, should be a fast riser through the system. I'm fine with the trade. No bullpen piece during a rebuild should be making over 5 million anyway. Let the kids give it a go. Now go trade Cease and Eloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely need depth which is something they have been lacking and most of the Charlotte roster elected free agency last week. They definitely need guys they will be able to shuttle back and forth. Trade Cease and sign 2 free agents, assuming someone you get for Cease doesn't immediately take his spot in the rotation. 1. FA signing 2. FA signing 3. Kopech 4. Soroka 5. Touki (possibly punt him to the pen if someone like Shuster or Nastrini emerges and grabs the spot) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The White Sox need major league baseball players (or reasonably convincing replicas) first and foremost, **good** major league baseball players second-most. So this achieves the first goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 ANYONE not named Luis Robert, should be actively made available. Load up on 'cusp of the bigs' guys, and see what shakes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have wanted him for awhile. I think Nastrini will also be in the rotation maybe even to start the year. And one of Flaherty/Giolito due to Katz...although JR may veto the latter even if its relatively cheap and they'll let Eder sink or swim. Basically they can create an entire rotation plus a swing man (Bush?) with very little spending. They got some potentially useful pieces/depth and a bridge SS for Montgomery so it's hard to be upset with the return here.

If they trade Cease and Robert for prospects that easily puts the Sox farm system as the top in MLB correct? Plus another top 5 pick coming next draft.

It just doesn’t make sense to trade him at his age, talent level, and years left. Hopefully he stays healthy now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Graveman got them a backup Catcher, and Middleton brought back an interesting A-ball arm, and both of those pitchers were way better than Bummer.
