How good of a prospect would the M’s be giving up if they’re getting back Hoerner?

Theres no way they're stupid enough to send Crochet to the Cubs. I know they are very very very stupid too, but not quite that dumb.

Who cares? The White Sox can't get any lower. They are going to be awful for years. If the Cubs are willing to pony up, do it.

I don’t think anything amazing, and he doesn’t really fit the big offensive upgrades they want.

What are fans going to do, not watch or attend?   Well, that’s what is going to happen anyways.

My point exactly.

Don’t know if I like the idea of Cubs/Mariners 3 team deal. I assume it would be Hoerner going to the Mariners and I kinda doubt he draws too much of a return back to the Sox.

But also, just get the best deal and don’t worry about where Crochet goes.

Triantos would be a good get.  That dude can crank. 

Triantos and Caissie would be a solid starting point.

This.  Take the best deal and forget all of the BS.  If it is the Cubs/Twins/Gards/whoever, take it and move on.

Fully agree.  Sox can’t afford to pass on the best offer they receive just because it’s the Cubs.  We are well past that point unfortunately.

This isn't directly Crochet related but does cover the Cubs and a guy they are talking to other teams about...

Recently, the Yankees, Mariners and Astros have all checked in with the Cubs about a Bellinger trade, sources told 670 The Score.

Now let's get jiggy with it.

Cubs get - Crochet

Mariners get - Hoerner and Robert

White Sox get - Caisse, Montes, and Celesten

 

What fun this would be.

That is not enough if both Crochet and Robert are headed out.

Interesting wink from noted well connected Mariners fan....

 

After speaking with some folks this afternoon, I don’t think this one with #WhiteSox, #Cubs and #Mariners is happening. That was fun though. https://t.co/75ZEU9RGSd

You should remember that Getz's GM mentor and grilling buddy is Jed Hoyer 

Full disclosure here: multiple Cubs bloggers messaged me this morning asking about this and I didn't know anything. Separately, I heard from a Seattle person mentioning Owen Caissie, Harry Ford and Emerson Hancock with Hoerner involved to Seattle. As soon as I commented on the tweet from that Cubs blogger, I received a message from someone I trust saying it's nothing. 

I'm just going to assume that this one isn't happening.

Fine by me. Harry Ford would be doo-doo

I was told by a stadium-related food item that it's happening, so I believe it's happening until convinced otherwise.

Yep...that Cub vs Sox thing is over.  Jerry has waved the white flag.
