2Deep Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:49 PM Is Patrick Wisdom mentioned as a return candidate in any Quero trade? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted Tuesday at 05:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:52 PM The Sox refusal to move their catchers around to different positions with literally no one worth blocking on the roster is just bizarre. I get the Sox have some catching depth, but does the return justify the means? We have to get another starting position player back who has AT LEAST 5 years of control to justify any deal here, unless a prospect deal of similar value can be put together. This can't be another failed former top 100 prospect. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted Tuesday at 06:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:23 PM I'm assuming the price is going to be high even his deficiencies at catcher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted Tuesday at 06:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:23 PM (edited) Definitely not a Top 50 prospect... That said, there's no pressure for Getz just to trade him just for the sake of appearing to be doing something creative. When Teel was added, their depth at catcher was being sold as one of the team's greatest advantages over other organizations.

maxjusttyped Posted Tuesday at 06:30 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:30 PM Get a good return and I'm fine with it. I don't think having him DH and mixing in as a backup catcher is the best use of resources in the short or long-term. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Must purge everyone connected to Hahn. Joking. Just appears to be another attempt at roster churning like an actively trading mutual fund manager at the end of a very mixed quarter. Have to be appearing to do at least SOMETHING if you're not going to sign anyone of significance. What would Branch Rickey do??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have two catchers that should be starting 120+ games behind the plate and a third who appears to be a very capable backup who can slot in against LHP. To me, this is 100% the right move if you can return a similarly valued young player at a different position. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted Tuesday at 07:10 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:10 PM (edited) turning strengths back into weaknesses usually the cause is some injury I have no idea what is a good return these days Edited Tuesday at 07:11 PM by kitekrazy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted Tuesday at 07:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:16 PM I'm quite a Quero truther, so it would take quite the return to make me not hate this. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if they move him, they get what they wanted. They can easily keep both and rotate in a lost season in 2026, but don’t love that plan long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to get back a starting pitcher, elite young pen arm/s or preferably an outfielder. 1B/DH as well. As long as the return actually improves the future prospects of "the next White Sox playoff team." Still not convinced about Lee.

On this roster, there is no good reason why one of them couldn't be picking up a 1B glove to maximize their values both as a trade piece, and to the team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make much sense to me to trade any good young player right now. It's not like anybody is being blocked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
