Tnetennba Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 6 hours ago, striker said: How about Taylor and Robert to Mets for Baty, Benge, Tong. Sox are already burning service time on a number of young players, but aren't remotely close to winning. Adding another in Baty just doesn't make sense IMO.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 2 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: I understand the risks with Crawford, but I’d still easily roll the dice on him for Robert. He is 21.5 years old and has plenty of time to grow & adjust. I also think you are greatly underselling his physical skills. He’s a legit 70 grade runner, which is incredibly fast. He has far more raw power than Juan Pierre ever had. The tools are there to be a special player even if they haven’t materialized in the way we’d like to see yet. Candidly speaking, if he was hitting more line drives and running better routes, he’d be one of the top prospects in the game and completely off limits. I don’t think the Phillies would give him up for Robert, but that would be a HR trade for us right now. I would not trade Taylor for him though…would need something with a higher degree of confidence to move him right now. There is no way you are getting Crawford for Robert straight up. Robert isn't going to net much outside a couple top 11-20 prospects range, if we are lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it’s crazy to me to say you wouldn’t take Crawford for Robert haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted July 26 Author Share Posted July 26 Appropos of nothing, I still hold firm that Lenyn Sosa will be a surprise trade candidate. “The Giants, however, plan to buy, seeking a second baseman and starting pitcher.” 👀 https://t.co/5QRTaBVNDw — Dave (@gggiants) July 26, 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I would love to see the Sox target Reece Hinds in any possible deals with the Reds. He has crazy tools, and is the ultimate low floor, high ceiling guy they should be taking a chance on in the outfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiderman Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) According to Bob Nightingale, Detroit "would love to" complete a trade for 3B Eduardo Suarez while Arizona is in town through Wednesday. Unsure if that means they are actively talking and close to a trade or more of a wishlist/speculation. Edited July 28 by spiderman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Feels like for last decade, definitely highlighted by Fulmer, the sox have been keen on 'black swan' nee black sheep prospects that don't look like your traditional guys but just work and have struck out every time. Hope that trading for a top return of an 88 mph throwing prospect was kinda the end of that thought process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no path to improvement of this roster besides drafting and spending. They drafted very well this year. Hopefully after not spending for a few years we can start to have a semi reasonable budget next year. Like even just 130m (which is still very low and should produce large operating profits) should mean we could make several solid signings since there is almost nothing on the books besides Beni.

I don’t get a lot of warm fuzzies drafting someone that we know needs hitting adjustments. We also thought they drafted well last year, and that’s been a disaster outside of Bonemer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagen Smith, Bonemer, Antonacci, I'm willing to add Braeden Montgomery to it also Sucks McClain and Sauke have been hurt - could've seen them making an impact They did just fine if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagen has been a huge disappointment so far. Also you can’t include Montgomery in their draft class, that would be like saying the Gonzalez class wasn’t bad because they got Teel.

Some of Hagen's numbers are wild, I wouldn't call him a disappointment at all, yeah Konnor Griffin or Weatherholt would have been better in hindsight but they did just fine with Hagen and ok then take off Montgomery and they still have two top 100 prospects from that class while Antonacci keeps hitting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had people last year talking about him being on the major league roster THIS YEAR. He doesn't have the Schultz excuse of not having pitched deep into games before either. Dude just literally lost the ability to control the baseball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
