December 9, 2025Dec 9 58 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: They wouldn’t have picked up Robert’s option if they’d have to turn around and need to use a young player to dump it. True. I could still see them being packaged together but with Sox kicking in money to a team with an OF need like Philly or Mets. Edited December 9, 2025Dec 9 by Bob Sacamano

The Phillies could use both right now. Not sure how much the Schwarber deal impacts their financial situation but a cheap Quero and a discounted Robert (if we include cash) could help.

December 9, 2025Dec 9 Why would you also need to include money AND Quero along with Robert for the likes of Crawford? That hardly makes sense. Benintendi, sure. But very few if any teams would bite on that one. Edited December 9, 2025Dec 9 by caulfield12

Where the f'hell did you write this supposed full package of players the Sox are receiving from the Phillies???????????????????????? How is that clear ????????? Nobody has been mentioned but Crawford. Don't say Bohm or something idiotic like that. Or taking back Castellanos for Benintendi. I'll save us both the trouble and put you on block. The first time I've had to do that in twenty years. Edited December 9, 2025Dec 9 by caulfield12
December 9, 2025Dec 9 This team is still so far away that worrying about position fit shouldn’t be a worry at the moment. Unless Quero/his agent are pushing for a full time catching gig only, I don’t see why you can’t get all these guys AB’s. We don’t have a clear 1B or DH option.

Based on the history of not trading him at his peak and trying to save face, it isn't the craziest thing that has happened here in the last few years.

I wonder how Jordan compares to his dad Carl at this point. Just by looking at their stats and grades, they appear to have almost identical skill set, which is pretty cool.

Can he be coached up? On the offensive side, he has decent raw power and hits the ball hard. Are there adjustments that can be made to get more loft? As for his defense, the speed is double plus and even some basic improvements to his reads / route running could result in an average CF. Personally, I’d rather roll the dice on the major league ready 21 year old with multiple plus tools and strong bloodlines who potentially addresses a major position of need than have Quero as a backup catcher and part time 1B/DH. I greatly respect your opinion on prospects through, so I should probably bring down my optimism on Crawford some. Edited December 9, 2025Dec 9 by Chicago White Sox

December 9, 2025Dec 9 At his current trajectory, Quero is going to be a good hitter no matter where his defensive home is on this team. No need to trade him this winter.

No need to trade him this winter. Wholeheartedly endorse this POV. Very young switch hitter already looking like a professional hitter. Only a matter of time before we get 15-18 HR annually from him.

If he catches 60 games and splits remaining time between 1B/DH, while being a professional hitter that he is already showing he could be, you’re gonna get a much better return if or when you have a real need to trade him.
December 10, 2025Dec 10 Crawford has to be a LFer if he's anything like his dad in terms of arm strength. Probably fringey for CF and plus in left.
