DirtySox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) I keep coming back to it. Carson Benge makes soooo much sense for the White Sox unless he's completely untouchable. Slot him into whatever OF position you want and he's an easy part of the next core. I'd be doing whatever I can to see what it takes to pry him loose in a Robert trade. Add pieces if you need to. Throw in Taylor and expand the deal if required. The fact that he hasn't been mentioned in trade rumors for Robert is crazy to me unless he's completely off the table. He fits the mold of the current regime too. Patience at the plate, can play up the middle in CF currently, left handed, and supposedly has off the charts makeup/work ethic.

Robert Houser Lee Tauchman Wilson Booser and Altavilla should all be traded for whatever packages they can get. That still leaves Taylor for CF until next year.

Houser, Lee, Wilson, Booser, Altavilla, Michael A Taylor, Rojas - All can go Tauchman, Martin, Cannon, Burke, Robert if you aren't getting a decent return - hold onto them Sosa - I'm cool either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 50 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: 6 hours and 15 minutes to go. It is crazy that the Sox have made all of 1 move. Usually 3x the trade volume on the final day vs. the second to last. Robert & Houser will be moved. I’d expect at least one player to be moved (Tauchman or an arm). Doesn’t feel out of the ordinary. Surprisingly a lot of the bigger moves have happened early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
