May 19, 20241 yr A Young and Montes type package would be real hard to decline and I’m on the team of not trading him (yet).

I get your "go out on a limb" sarcasm...the Sox have, more than once, made dumb trades for the wrong price. Edited May 20, 20241 yr by ScootsMcGoots
May 20, 20241 yr Author I will be honest, the Mariners aren't my first choice for a deal like this, because they lack that supertstar top prospect, and I think you need that huge frontliner to start a good deal for Luis Robert. I have no idea what the market for him looks like, but as with Cease, I am also willing to let the market come to us if the market isn't there yet.

May 20, 20241 yr The Athletic has a good short piece today on MLB deadline sellers with the White Sox listed as, you guessed it, #1 seller. Mentions Robert but doesn't think there's much chance he'll go. Montes has 60+ potential as a left-handed hitter, 65+ power. Not truly elite overall but this org desperately needs that. He's not a true headliner but packaged with a 55 IF and 50 OF, I'm not sure you're going to do much better in this environment. I still think holding him til 2025 trade deadline is probably the best move.

May 20, 20241 yr All of this trade speculation is great for a discussion, but does anyone really have any faith that Getz will get what Robert is worth? We all know he will get fleeced by the other organization. Edited May 20, 20241 yr by Tomtom

We all know he will get fleeced by the other organization. What is his real worth? The possibility also exists he asks for way too much only for Robert to get injured again (this year or next). If not for Eloy, people would talk more about this guy's inability to stay on the field. Edited May 20, 20241 yr by Bob Sacamano
May 20, 20241 yr Here is why any return will not live up to expectations. He is as injury prone as Eloy. Hand — Aug. 18, 2020 Illness — April 27, 2021 Hip — May 2, 2021 Groin — April 21, 2022 COVID-19 — May 24, 2022 Illness — July 15, 2022 Wrist — Aug. 12, 2022 Hand/Wrist — Sept. 15, 2022 Wrist — Sept. 24, 2022 Hamstring — April 29, 2023 Hip — May 23, 2023 Calf — July 10, 2023 Finger — Aug. 9 2023 Quad — Sept. 2, 2023 Knee — Sept. 24, 2023 Hip — April 5, 2024

Was that 2023 ? I remember his play in CF was not very good at the time but his hitting didn't seem to suffer all that much and he put up best season of health and hitting even though you list 6 injuries in 2023.

I know Jim Bowden is frequently off-base but he suggested one "top prospect" (I'm assuming that means Top 100), plus one Top 10 (in a system) plus a few Top 30s (in a system). I know Robert's salaries are gonna start escalating but that would be a garbage return either way. Need to have 3 Top 100s.
