Obviously this means Tucker is gone. Not so horrible of a contract to debilitate the Cubs but I would have looked elsewhere. Regardless, I truly hope Getz is trying to trade for Matt Shaw right now. Ew. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s more likely Cubs keep him in semi-regular bench role or trade Hoerner and open up 2B for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure I buy that. They love Hoerner and look how quickly they were to make Shaw a bench player. Hoerner put up a 6.2 bWAR and they are never going to get back his worth in a trade.

Chicago White Sox Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 5 hours ago, WhiteSox2023 said: Whatever they can afford to give up. The guy is just turning 24 in March and put up a 3.1 bWAR in his rookie season. Vargas had a higher wRC+ than him last year and nearly the same fWAR. I get the prospect pedigree, but let’s not pretend this kid is some sure fire star because of his 2025 season. Given the players that we currently have, acquiring a RH hitting infielder with baggage who won’t come cheap seems like the worst move we could possibly make. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleAleSox Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Bregman will give them 1.5 good years and is not putting them over the top in the NL, especially if PCA is closer to 2nd half numbers instead of 1st half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteSox2023 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Per Keith Law’s article in The Athletic:The Cubs now have one infielder too many, and they’re going to end up trading someone. The most obvious candidate is Shaw, whose rookie season was a disappointment at the plate thanks to some frequent mechanical changes and, according to people I’ve spoken to, resistance to help from the Cubs’ staff.

The guy is just turning 24 in March and put up a 3.1 bWAR in his rookie season. 1.5 fWAR. Considering his sub .700 OPS, and filtering out the hype that accompanied him, the 1.5 is more believable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say that. If the price is right however… You don’t usually get to acquire another team’s top prospects unless they have some sort of warts. I think he is interesting because he can play 2B and 3B and he could potentially be moved to the outfield. Besides, wasn’t it our “star” CF’er who didn’t even know one of the coach’s names — Charlie Montoyo? Vargas moping around for half a season. You act like the Sox roster is a bastion of amazing team players. I thought only Schriffen truly believed that.
