Chicago White Sox

The SP market hasn’t moved at all and we are one of the big players there. I just want to see the smaller pieces traded soon. No one is getting desperate for Pham and overpaying at the deadline. Might as well move guys like him before you run out of potential trade partners.

Someone will trade for Pham and DeJong. Pham has a 141 wRC+ against LHP. DeJong is a cheap depth option at spots where there aren’t a lot of other options. We won’t get much for either, but lottery tickets should be incoming.

Exactly. And the Guardians have multiple positional prospects that could be matches for Fedde. To purposely remove them from the equation is just plain dumb (again, assuming this is true in the first place).

When I think about great clubhouse people, the first person who comes to mind is AJ. Combine that with all the experience he has and he’d make the perfect hire.

This came from Bob’s latest column, but if true, Getz should be relieved of his duties immediately:

Which could push the timeline of the rebuild multiple years.

I have no idea why you hate Robert so much…absolutely bizarre

Guys like Pham & DeJong you should be moving fast on before their markets dry up. Same with the relievers we have to a lesser extent. And Fedde is certainly a guy teams are interested in and one worth waiting on to maximize the return.

I can’t believe Getz still hasn’t made a trade…

I wouldn’t send him down now as punishment for leaking this to the media, but I don’t think there was anything unreasonable to kicking off his transition to SP in Charlotte and reclaiming a year of control back. But yes, it’s very possible that Getz is in over his head. He’s got a lot of players he should be moving and he should probably be one more of the proactive GMs so he doesn’t handcuff himself a bit at the end.

Yes, sorry about that

If you’re paying that much for two months of a reliever, you might as well pair it with an impact CF like Robert.

Angels get Klassen & Aldegheri which seems like a nice return

That’s true

What’s a trash move?

Yeah, the returns so far seem pretty reasonable for buyers.

A lot of movement and still no White Sox trades. Would have at least expected someone like Pham to have been dealt by now. Hopefully Getz knows what he is doing.

Agustin Ramirez in the trade (Yankees #3 prospect per BA).

No doubt, but far more interesting when paired with Pal’s comment.

Seems like there is legit smoke

Martin now officially on the active man roster ?

What you hearing Pal? Is a move imminent?

Good point…I’m all the way back in now.

It’s more quantity of over quality, but De Paula has star level hitting potential, Freeland seems like a guy who will be solid everyday guy up the middle, Hope will likely be cracking top 100’s a year from now, and then the arm would be a meaningful piece (say Ferris in this case). Maybe it’s not enough, but I feel like I’d have seriously consider it if I were Getz.

Good…hopefully we need them and soon!
