Quintana Anderson Montas and something else for Longo and pitching prospect. Boom Profit!

In the Fangraphs trade value column they had Quintana at #41 and Longoria just outside the top 50. The price you're paying is steep.

Not really. LaRoche is a whipping boy, but he'll hit again. Wasn't too long ago Melky's contract was an albatross. I was told by one, he wouldn't put up a 4 WAR total from his low point for the balance of the contract. He is already 25% there. He has eked his way back to a positive WAR. LaRoche will hit again.

Any grief LaRoche receives is well deserved. He's been awful. I hope he hits again, and, at some point, he probably will but if I could dump him for anything, I would. He's shown too many Dunn-esque qualities to wait around and hope he turns it around.

 

I do like that RV isn't just throwing him out there in the middle of the order everyday like he did with Dunn.

Wonder what it would take to get tampa to listen on Longoria.

I would do that without thinking twice, which probably mean it's not enough.

Not enough.

 

Would you give up Quintana for that package if another team had those guys?

Quintana is more valuable than Longoria. Younger, cheaper and hitting the prime of his career.

 

Longoria is going on 30. So, it's irrelevant in comparing the two.

Davidson, Montas, Danish, and Anderson for Longoria

that would be a no-brainer. I think you'd need to throw in something more promising than Danish.

I would absolutely do it.

I'd keep Anderson if at all possible. I think he's going be a very good player. Maybe get them to take Micah instead.

Not happening if you want Longoria.

Swap Davidson with Micah and Danish with Adams and they would listen IMO. Gotta be a system gutter for Longo.

maybe this guy knew the Sox were "buyers" because they have called on some Tigers players. Cespedes would be awesome for the 2nd half.. but could he play RF? Melky already locked into left

I'd love to get Cespedes.

Longoria having sub-par season. There are two recent articles in FL papers about him: "What's wrong with Longoria" He says he doesn't know but it feels like he has never played before. Unquote.

What's the latest on Adam Lind trade talks around the league? What do you think you have to give up for him?

I want him if we can somehow dump LaRoche!

That's my hope as well. Hoping they might bite the bullet on him. Have a feeling they might give him August to see if he can get hot then if he doesn't, try and work the waiver wire.

Makes it even better, since the price if he was tearing it up would be impossibly high. He's signed until 2022 and could hold down 3rd for the next 5 years and slide into a DH role or be moved. It would be too good to be true, honestly.

Rodon?

 

Not sure if Fulmer + Anderson + Montas does it.

Oh come on.

Longoria's value is way, way down.

Elite? Not anymore. Not even in Cameron's top 50 (Quintana is, what, #30?)

This kind of stuff is beyond belief.

Does anyone even look at his numbers? Not only is he way down this season, he was way down last season.

But you need the Rays to actually be motivated to move him for a reduced price. Do you see them doing that? I sure don't. Jose Abreu is way down from last season but if you want to trade for Jose Abreu, the White Sox would demand the kind of price you'd pay for a 40 HR guy right now because that's who he might be next year again.

Kaplan is interviewing Dan O'Dowd from MLB Network and he says the Sox need a RH bullpen arm. Please.

So you don't trade for him.

You find value.

Even if Longoria was Longoria, I wouldn't understand the hero worship. You need 5 starters, 5 members of the bullpen and 8 position players plus DH. The Sox are, what, a .500 team? So what would a vintage Longoria do...turn us into WS contenders? Of course not. He'd add maybe 2 or 3 wins through the end of the season. You trade all of the top tier prospects for that? (it's not like he was ever a Trout or Harper).

It doesn't make any sense to want to go "all in" on these players.

If you want one, you draft him or you trade for him before he reaches hero status. Build the team.

Look at the Pirates - pick up the C for a middle reliever; get their SS/3B cheap on the international market. They have 1 great player that they drafted. They made savvy moves. Sox have made a couple too, like Abreu and Quintana (didn't draft well until recently though, and I still suspect the Sox drafts are 2nd division in quality).
