July 28, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) MLB Trade Rumors @mlbtraderumors 2h Indians “Very Willing” To Trade Justin Masterson http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/?p=40180 Just sign him in the off-season without having to give up anything of value. If you think Danks has been bad, Masterson has been awful.

July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) Masterson is going to the cards for James Ramsey Great move by the Indians.
July 30, 201411 yr Random question, but now that Masterson has been traded, the Cardinals can't receive draft compensation if he signs with another team next year correct?
July 30, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:05 PM) Random question, but now that Masterson has been traded, the Cardinals can't receive draft compensation if he signs with another team next year correct? NO they do not get comp picks if he leaves.
July 30, 201411 yr NO they do not get comp picks if he leaves. Probably not much of a chance they'd make him a qualifying offer anyway.
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) Probably not much of a chance they'd make him a qualifying offer anyway. Probably not, but who knows how he pitches down the stretch. His value could change a lot between now and the offseason.
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Wouldn't we have taken that prospect for danks? Almost definitely. While a bit old for his level, he's hit pretty well.
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) Probably not much of a chance they'd make him a qualifying offer anyway. Masterson will be a true free agent without compensation attached now. He's a guy that the White Sox could realistically sign without giving up a draft pick.
July 30, 201411 yr I think we can get a similar return for Danks or maybe better if we take some salary
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 03:36 PM) I think we can get a similar return for Danks or maybe better if we take some salary Which the White Sox almost never do...unless you count $1 million for Rios. Or Linebrink. But 90% of the time, they would rather save the money and forgo the prospects.
July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 04:31 PM) There's no way the Indians would have made him a QO anyway. I think they surely would have. Masterson on a one year deal at ~$14M is a decent gamble to return to form, and if he declines you get a shot at a first round pick.

But 90% of the time, they would rather save the money and forgo the prospects. To be fair though, the Sox have traditionally pushed the upper limits of the payroll as well. Since spending has been scaled back, it is conceivable that there is money to send along in the right deal.

July 30, 201411 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) I think we can get a similar return for Danks or maybe better if we take some salary No no no, the first rule of being a white sox fan is thinking that a comparable deal can be had only to be told the million reasons why the very similar player is never as valuable as the other player that was traded.

But 90% of the time, they would rather save the money and forgo the prospects. They did eat the Keppinger contract, though. That's at least on a small scale a willingness to eat some cash.
