Yoenis Cespedes to the White Sox.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes #WhiteSox were 30th of 30 in OPS at 2B (.564) and 3B (.612) in '15. Brett Lawrie (.706) and Todd Frazier (.807) now reside in those spots.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) It has been mentioned, especially if a FA OF is added, the Sox will have significantly upgraded their offense without using Anderson or Fulmer, or Adams in trades. More importantly, they didn't use Quintana. I'm not a big prospect guy, but also Danish and Michalczewski still in the system.

Hahn says they would have to get creative to increase payrolll but hints at future flexibility.

Dont sleep on Alex Gordon.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:49 PM) Replacing Garcia and the lineup is going to look a whole lot different with the infielders we added and the new catching combination. Really if you replace him with Upton the real stinker is you still have LaRoche. And then he might bounce back to his career norm.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) Sox seemed very afraid of playing him on the left side of the infield . Lack of arm strenght for SS/3B? But you live with that couple times a year.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:06 PM) I think this increases the chances of Alexei coming back. The beat guys are saying the organization loves Saladino at SS, wanted to build up offense around him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) Its going to be Saladino/Frazier and Lawrie so I dont understand the question. Last year it was Saladino 3B, Sanchez 2B. This year it is Frazier, and Lawrie.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Immediate question: Why didn’t #Reds take #WhiteSox’s package instead of #Dodgers’? Rival execs think LAD did much better than CIN.

That is all folks. Deal offical per White Sox.

Jeff Feyerer ‏@jfey5 This move is so White Sox. Most similar batter to Todd Frazier through age 29 via @baseball_ref Joe Crede 25 retweets 22 likes Reply

Jim Bowden ‏@JimBowden_ESPN 36s36 seconds ago Frankie Montas best prospect moved in three way deal.and Dodgers get him not Reds? Has to be more to this deal…doesn’t make sense on surface

Which one of them is LH?

Upton.

Jingle Balls ‏@SpaldingBalls 3m3 minutes ago Jake Peavy for Todd Frazier, Brett Lawrie, and Avisail Garcia

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) Saladino, easily Saladino and Sanchez both on the big league team, Sanchez being utility guy.

Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 43s44 seconds ago The #WhiteSox had been working on four or five different deals before landing Frazier, the one they wanted all along.. Do your thing Ricky.

jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 10s10 seconds ago Scouts, execs raving about White Sox getting Frazier and prospect package Dodgers got back. Reported return for Cincinnati ... not so much.

The #Dodgers get Frankie Montas, Michah Johnson, Trayce Thompson; #Reds get Jose Peraza, Scott Schebler, Brandon Dixon. @JonHeymanCBS 1st.

Not hearing anything about Ethier. It needs to be Justin Upton patrolling the RF.

It was a matter of time before Trayce ended up in LA, IMHO.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) Where did you see this? John Heyman

per Heyman Montas, Micah, Trace to Dodgers
