Rowand44 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I feel like there's been another time or two where King randomly brought up some baseball trade rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have been commissioner if he wanted to (supposedly). Guy loves baseball and I'm sure has a lot of connections (especially in LA). I wouldn't take this as typical "fan" speak. This is in between fan speak and media speak. Hell, it might be better then media speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Would be kind of funny if Samardzija was used to sweeten a deal centered around Q. The Dodgers really could use two arms in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 If Puig were traded to the White Sox, he will not hit until June due to the weather and have an OBP under .300. Then he will be out of baseball in 4 years and be the next big, where are they now candidates 15 years from. Owning a gas station in some caribbean country.

I absolutely think if the two are involved, you are looking at getting Puig + Seager. I suppose the Sox could look for Urias + Seager as the primary package, I'd just prefer Puig cause you have a more known commodity with major upside. I'd push hard for Puig / Seager / Barnes.

If that is what we got for Shark & Q, I'd throw up. If we are trading both, we should be getting at least 2 of Puig / Segaer / Urias. In fact, give my view on Puig, I am not making that deal without Puig + Seager (because I prefer Seager to Urias given our needs...that said, I think Urias could be even better then Seager).

GGajewski18 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Went over to a Dodgers board and asked about the King tweet. Â Poster said he would imagine King does have pretty good sources considering he hosts a Dodger show and has been a life long fan. Â Poster said its probably about Samardzija, unless we wanna talk about Sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, give my view on Puig, I am not making that deal without Puig + Seager (because I prefer Seager to Urias given our needs...that said, I think Urias could be even better then Seager). Agreed. Urias is good. Like, really good. But, thinking it through, if the Sox really wanted a good, cost-controlled pitcher... they'd just keep Quintana. The upside of trading him is filling the holes on offense. So if I can only have two of those guys, I'm taking Puig and Seager. That's probably a more palatable trade for the Dodgers as well. With Urias out of there, maybe Barnes, Guerrero, et. al. come into play as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Robin Ventura, who knows Larry King some from #Dodgers days, said of the tweet: "I haven't called him about the trade, no." #WhiteSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 you know. if the sox does deal with puig, this would definitely add another superstar personality to the team..... great or season tickets and corp sponsorship money.

Puig isn't just exciting at the plate (like Abreu), he is exciting in the field (both good and bad) and on the basepaths. Puig is one of those rare guys you stop and watch because of what he can do on the field (again, both good and bad). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
