ChiSoxFanMike Posted Sunday at 02:24 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:24 PM Thought this was thread worthy here. “The Chicago White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers have tabled trade discussions that would send center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the Dodgers for Triple-A outfielder James Outman and a front-line prospect.” per Nightengale. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2025/04/13/mlb-free-agents-lance-lynn-vladimir-guerrero/83060198007/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted Sunday at 02:29 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:29 PM I 100% believe they'd target Outman, but for fucks sake, he's older than Robert and just had a catastrophic season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted Sunday at 02:39 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:39 PM I’m assuming that the prospect would be Josue De Paula based on past conversations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted Sunday at 02:44 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:44 PM I mean if that front line prospect is De Paula or Freeman I'd happily take Outman too. If we're moving Robert to LAD, I'd like to grab one of those mid top 30 SP prospects like Ryan, Fraso, Bruns, Hurt, Knack, Grove, etc. Half those guys are hurt so LAD might be willing to let one go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he would be interesting. Outman doesn’t really do anything for me though. I’d already rather get another minor leaguer than him.

Outman's a AAAA player at this point. So it boils down to "front-line prospect." Nah, just stay away from the Dodgers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted Sunday at 03:04 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:04 PM Outman does have a higher ceiling than what's normally available on the waiver wire. This is his last option year. If he doesn't pull it together at AAA, he's gone end of year, anyway. He's certainly not a headliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted Sunday at 03:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:18 PM Unless Robert gets hot, and STAYS hot, through May and June, we aren't getting anything of worth back in a trade. IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:21 PM As bad as Robert has been, Outman is living up to his name in AAA and doing worse. He is nothing at this point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoUEvenShift Posted Sunday at 03:43 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:43 PM (edited) Such a dumb word with opposite meaning depending on where you're from/context In the U.S.: "To table something" means to postpone or suspend discussion on it. Like, you're putting it aside for now. Example: "The committee decided to table the motion until next week." → They're not talking about it anymore, at least for now. In the UK and many other Commonwealth countries: "To table something" means to bring it up for discussion. Example: "The MP tabled a proposal for healthcare reform." → They just introduced it to be discussed.

Jake Posted Sunday at 04:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:19 PM Outman could only be considered as 40-man roster depth. He might give you some production, but he also may not, and even if he does you know he's basically already in his prime year so it wouldn't last long.

Chicago White Sox Posted Sunday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:46 PM The eventual Robert trade is going to be very telling whether Getz has made real progress in fixing the foundations of the organization. If you believe that Harold has real sources, the Sox are clearly eager to move Robert. That being said, Robert is our last big trade chip and Getz needs to find a way to optimize his value which is certainly suppressed at the moment. But IMO, there are real reasons to believe he’s about to pop. The traditional metrics may look ugly right now, but the underlying peripherals look good. If I’m Getz, I’m holding out for a big rebound from Robert and only trading him early if someone meets my price. Will Getz stand his ground and wait for his price to be met or will he panic and take the first half decent offer? Will be fascinating to find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outman is garbage but this would’ve made it a great trade. I would be surprised if the Sox managed to get a prospect the caliber of De Paula by the time all is said and done. He’s rated the 3rd best Dodgers prospect and 37th overall by MLB Pipeline. Edited Sunday at 06:35 PM by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Moooton Posted Sunday at 06:43 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:43 PM (edited) It depends who the prospect is. I’d love Hope, but I also have no hope. Edited Sunday at 06:43 PM by Lyle Moooton Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s who they have been asking for? Seems like him or Hope would need to be in the trade. Still think that’s an obvious move for the Dodgers to make if the other pieces are minimal (such as Outman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
