December 24, 20241 yr 13 minutes ago, caulfield12 said: Robert for Lux alone makes just about zero sense. At the very least, get someone back from LA that can play a credible CF....probably Outman, since they won't as easily give up Pages. Robert for Outman would be the worst trade in Getz’s career by far.

Robert for Lux/Outman would be the suggested trade...which I still don't like that much. At this point, rolling the dice and holding him makes more sense. Edited December 24, 20241 yr by caulfield12

December 24, 20241 yr I’ll take Outman as a #2 piece… but I’d need one of their backend 100 guys to headline
December 24, 20241 yr This team is so far away I don't know if a 28 year old with 1 productive season and serious hit tool questions is worth prioritizing in a trade. I'd rather roll the dice on a 45/50 FV prospect than Outman, personally.
December 24, 20241 yr They won’t be interested in Lux or Outman… unless the new shiny player development folk believe they can turn them both around… maximize their tools… and then have two high performing assets to trade instead of one. Fat chance.
December 24, 20241 yr The most recent podcast with Garfien explicitly stated that Boston’s existing MLB talent like Abreu was never even a consideration. We’re not even to Christmas yet and we’re already out of things to talk about… Our toxic collective addiction to this team drives endlessly discussing pointless drivel. My name is Trevor and I am a Soxtalk Addict. Where’s the inpatient clinic and residential detox program? TLDR: poop.

Fat chance. The org can't think this way but it's delusional to believe the Sox could unlock something with a guy like Lux or Outman that the Dodgers could not. Hi, Miguel Vargas.

Hi, Miguel Vargas. “Fat chance” clearly implies that even this bottom of the barrel organization will not dig deeper to this level of incompetent “logic”. Soxtalk needs to turn into Around the Horn until at least Spring Training… otherwise we’re going to continue blabbering on about complete horseshit. I clearly am in a wonderful mood. Horary!

Go get Arroyo....eat 5m of Robert's salary to enhance the return....that will still result in a net savings of 10m for Jerry.
January 30, 20251 yr Apparently, the Reds were talking Robert trade up until they signed Hays. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6098787/2025/01/30/reds-white-sox-luis-robert-pujols/?source=user_shared_article Quote The teams could not find a middle ground on players or dollars, prompting the Reds to turn to Hays on a one-year, $5 million contract, pending a physical, according to sources briefed on the discussions. The teams did not resolve how much of Robert’s salary the White Sox would have paid, sources said. Reds infield prospect Edwin Arroyo, who missed all of last season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder, was one player under discussion. But ultimately, the Reds could not get comfortable with the total cost.
January 30, 20251 yr I'm still hoping during spring training a team decides they're a bat short and offers something decent for him.

Awesome.

Guess you don't have much faith that he'll have a strong , healthy 1st half. I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that way. He's been consistently injured and may have caught whatever it was that led to the Great Demise that plagued Anderson, Jimenez, Moncada, Benintendi, and Vaughn ( not that he was actually ever any good ).

It's frustrating that they are hung up on eating money when payroll is only in the 60 millions or so. Fucking Jerry.
