Too much smoke for something not to happen. Eaton would be a good fit.

Ken Williams said on Hot Stove that #WhiteSox had "exciting" move brewing. Getting Eaton from #DBacks, as @keithlaw reported, would be that.

Per @keithlaw, Eaton would go to #WhiteSox as part of three-team deal with Trumbo going to #DBacks, Skaggs-plus to #Angels.

As I said last night, the White Sox are not in on Juan Uribe. Entertaining guy, great teammate. Doesn't fit their plan right now

f*** yeah

Dback A. Eaton can play CF, bats left, 2 needs for #whitesox. And he's young (25). Santiago rumored in 3-way deal w Angels. #WinterMeetings

If the trade goes off as stated with the Sox sending Santiago to acquire Eaton, there will have to be subsequent moves in the works. Probably a De Aza trade of some sort.

Just talked to Ken Williams. Talked about the team getting younger and more exciting. More to come on http://whitesox.com

In that deal, the Angels should send the Sox a solid prospect.

Was told to keep an eye on the White Sox re: John Buck. Buddy Bell, No. 3 in BB Ops for CWS, managed Buck parts of 3 yrs with #Royals

Ok, I am asking myself why on earth would KW go on this show and mention this?

 

I doubt it was to give us some excitement about a potential deal.

#White Sox working hard to get a CF.. Been linked to Dbacks Adam Eaton.. White Sox had some interest in Fowler before he was traded

And most importantly he adds much needed OBP to the top of the lineup.

Apparently the Angels were also the team that tried to trade for Santiago earlier but went a different direction

Adam Eaton was the dbacks#5 prospect in 2012

 

Adam Eaton

Rank: 5

ETA: 2012

Position: OF

Age: 25, DOB: 12/06/1988

Bats: L, Throws: L

Height: 5' 8", Weight: 185

Drafted: 2010, 19th (571) - ARI

All the Miami of Ohio product has done since becoming a pro is hit. He made it to Double-A in his first full season and hit better than .300 in the playoffs to help Mobile win the Southern League title. He hit .340 overall in his first two seasons, and that didn’t even count his .344 showing in the Arizona Fall League. Then, he upped that in 2012, absolutely scorching Pacific Coast League pitching. He has a plus arm from the outfield and likes to bait runners so he can throw them out. He gives 100 percent effort at all times and could be an outstanding fourth outfielder at the very least. Eaton made his Major League debut on September 4.

Sale is the ace, Quintana will take a ton to pry away, nobody wants to take on Danks' $$. Makes Santiago the default LHP trade chip.

.314 last year in essentially 1/2 a season of at bats.

I do like that the Sox are targeting CF, which I think is the biggest needs.

Assuming they acquire their centre fielder.

 

Who gets shopped: Viciedo, or De Aza?

Could be either.

Not a fan of Eaton. I saw quite a few of his at bats last year, and he didn't seem like an impact player. To me, it would seem like Santiago should have more value than him. If it was a trade of someone like Reed for Eaton, I'd be ok with that.

What else can we send to AZ so they include Davidson?

Both, whoever the get more in return for, however, I imagine they'd prefer to deal De Aza.

Getting Adam Eaton does not equal fan excitement, so now I'm intrigued :)

No I think KW's is excited about Eaton's grindiness

Some say we are in for Juan Uribe and Scott says we arent.....honestly I thought that was what Kenny was originally was talking about

I love this, our front office is trying to make this team better to compete next year and I am excited.. Outfield of Viciedo-Eaton-Garcia could be great for years if they pan out
