Niese is not a 3 (neither is Noesi). More like a 4.

Those are back end of the roster players.

Pass.

 

Lol.

 

Why don't you have a little gander at Juan Lagares' WAR last season.

 

He was the best center fielder in the league.

Not sure if this was posted. But I'll post anyways.

 

@Buster_ESPN: Mets would seem like a perfect match on paper for possible Alexei Ramirez deal, given their surplus of pitching and CHW needs.

 

 

I think this is a destined deal. Just feels like it

I would definitely take Lagares but would only have interest in Niese if the Sox could trade away Danks first.

Also seen this from NY media

 

@MartinoNYDN: On Alexei Ramirez, #WhiteSox prefer young SPs like Syndergaard/Wheeler/Montero, while #Mets prefer to deal Niese/Gee/Colon. (1/2)

 

@MartinoNYDN: Also #WhiteSox, like #Mets, in mode of trying to build contender. So while they'd deal Ramirez, it's not like he's burning a hole in pocket.

Thanks for posting those tweets. I think they really sum up the Sox position nicely.

The Sox don't have to trade Alexei. If they want him, the deliver the young pitchers, not the old and/or mediocre.

I don't know how Hahn doesn't ask for Plawecki in return. That's such a natural fit w/ the Mets already having D'Arnaud at catcher. Offer Alexei for Plawecki and OF Brandon Nimmo. Or Plawecki and SP Marcos Molina. Or cross your fingers and hope they give you Plawecki and LHP Steven Matz, which is probably unlikely.

 

Either way, I want a package to start around Plawecki. He sounds like a right handed hitting version of Pierzynski. Hits for average, very hard to strike out, has 15 HR power, doesn't walk much because of his ability to swing at everything and still make contact, is a decent defender with good hands, but just an average arm and average arm accuracy. Stop me when you've begun to think I'm reading AJ's scouting report...

Which is exactly why Hahn is able to ask high, and hope someone takes it. Sox have all the leverage in trade talks because there is no pressing need to trade Alexei. He's not being pushed by anyone and his contract is team friendly. Any deal Hahn takes you would pretty much have to think favors the Sox.

Watch as Tule gets traded to somewhere not named New York, and the Cubs hold on to Castro, I can see the Mets breaking down.

I think Tulo or Castro is going to one of the NY teams before Xmas.

I think Tulo goes to St. Louis or he remains in Colorado at least till the ASB. I think Castro remains a Cub, I personally think it's Baez who gets traded out of their crop of young players. Castro has brome a voice and leader in that clubhouse to go alongside Rizzo.

Leader? Doesn't he still have problems running out flyballs/groundballs and having a lazy attitude? Could have sworn that was still happening with him.

I think someone has been drinking the Theo-Aid served up by the Chicago media.

No problem. I couldn't remember if they were posted or not.

Oh the Sox have absolute leverage. We don't need to move him. We can keep him and at an affordable price. Plus he's an All-Star.

No problem. I couldn't remember if they were posted or not.

 

the way news was coming, even if it was done before, it was a great reminder.

 

many thanks from me, as a fan of sox baseball.

alexei ramirez said to be more likely ss alternative than elvis andrus for yankees, tho nothing's close w/either at moment

ESPN's Adam Rubin now saying Mets and Mariners could be trade partners with the Mariners sending over Chris Taylor or Brad Miller but it would seem more likely if the Mariners sign Hanley.

but is it any different than what we are saying.

Haha, not at all. The Mariners are really looking to add another big bat so I can believe they are looking into Hanley Ramirez.

White Sox and Mets talks still fluid on Alexei Ramirez

I think they end up budging and we get either Syndergaard, Wheeler or Harvey straight up.

 

Mets have a lot of depth with the three vets in Gee, Niese, Colon, then 2 of the 3 depending on who is traded, de Grom and Montero and a few other guys in the top 10

I would say that, at most, we could get them to budge on Syndergaard straight up, since he is coming off a down year. I cannot imagine any scenario where we end up getting Harvey, and Wheeler would be a clear overpay IMO.

Yeah seeing as though they have had success in the MLB, I would agree it would probably Syndergaard

Which, if he's healthy, would be a really nice grab.
