Who knows, an injury can even lead to playing time and a need. I’d keep Canario over Taylor for sure. Might be a defensive downgrade, but Canario is way younger and more interesting.

The problem is we still don't have a natural SS with that arrangement. You're going to end up playing Baldwin, Sosa or Meidroth there...or Maton, who's now primarily a 2B/OF. Rojas is a great 3B, a very good 2B and an average big league SS...maybe a touch over average.

March 31, 20251 yr Honestly if we dont get him now we probably will have a second chance, maybe 1-2 months from now, to get a waiver claim in. b/c we are the 30th team. So right now only a trade can beat us to him. and because of his roster status i would bet some other team, if they trade cash for him, is going to just kind of hide him on the roster and eventually give him up for some reliever to be added or something, and the process just restarts again he should be with a team like us b/c he would actually play Edited March 31, 20251 yr by Fielder Jones

In theory, they'd have to release one of Venable's favorites from when he was the bench coach in Texas with Bochy. We can argue that he SHOULD get more playing time over all those guys, other than Robert, but that's neither here nor there.

Considering we have guys like Maton DHing and with Slater/Tauchman in a platoon situation, I don't think getting him at bats would be a problem. Play him in left and DH Benintendi. Taylor is a fifth OFer practically irrelevant

On a team full of flawed players, might as well get someone with any upside. Youth movements are always more interesting to a lot of people such as myself, given the alternative option of chasing .500 with some meh or shot veterans. This last rebuild that flamed out sort of goosed fan interest for awhile for sure. But that kind of thing is not going to work again unless the Sox begin bringing up their own talent that they scouted and signed. Canario, well I agree. I would have more fun having a beer in the stands watching guys like that more than the Benintendi of the world.

The Sox can want to dump Benintendi’s contract all they want, it’s not happening. Teams weren’t even willing to trade for Robert. Playing Benintendi in the outfield would probably lower his value as you are just showcasing his mediocre range and noodle arm. Besides, the only thing that matters is his contract and that’s why it isn’t happening. He’s our DH for 3 more years unless the Sox decide to DFA him and pay him. 2025: $16.5 million 2026: $16.5 million 2027: $14.5 million Edited March 31, 20251 yr by WhiteSox2023

March 31, 20251 yr The Mets have started Tyrone Taylor and Jose Siri in CF. Hopefully they're talking a Luis Robert deal and Canario can be a throw in.

March 31, 20251 yr Not sure I love the Mets as a trading partner. You’d have to get Jett Williams as the centerpiece and something about 5’ 6” guys scare me at the moment.
March 31, 20251 yr I still think a ++ GM could get a haul for robert. Values are set by market factors. Cf is incredibly weak and thin. Robert gives a team a huge edge over those they are competing with. You should be able to sell his value and ceiling given how weak the position is and talented he is.

For cripes’ sakes, Venable has Jankowski and Taylor starting in the corners today. Need I say more? Edited March 31, 20251 yr by WhiteSox2023

I think this is true, but he probably needs a good two or three months of plus production before other teams are willing to pay the price we’d desire.
