Love when Luis hits.

I agree with this. The trade sucks. They should have gotten a better centerpiece. But Vargas has a chance to be a solid offensive producer; I mean he’s got a 108 wRC+ this year. I haven’t looked, but imagine that’d be top 2 on the Sox easily.

All that to just not let Colas try to learn major league hitting. So fucking stupid.

If anyone finds a link or a video with Getz full comments from today, please do share. Only thing I’ve found are the few snippets from DVS Twitter.

Looks like he has 5 years of service after 2024, even if he spends the balance of the season on the Sox.

Where we seeing this reported? edit: nevermind see it now. Probably covering a portion of Pham's trade assignment bonus. Probably proves he had negative value.

Not excited, but passable since Pham probably had basically no value. But Fedde for Vargas feel a really good prospect light.

Can anyone tell me where Perez and Albertus ranked on BA's updated list?

I've yet to see anyone try to defend the trade. Its awful.

I am guessing Pham had no trade value. Which makes sense frankly. Basically a 0 WAR player, league average hitter and isn't a good defender. Been bad for several weeks now, and still due a couple million (believe he has a $1M trade bonus), so perhaps he was just a salary dump. So if you look at is at Fedde for Vargas, and one of the low level IFs and Kopech for the other low level IFs, I guess it make slightly more sense if you wink like 50x. But still doesn't explain the STL/Edman side of it. Feels like LAD got hosed here too.

I am so confused. I just can't understand how STL gets Fedde for Edman.

Not a fan at this point. I don't even know if I'd love this deal for just Fedde.

I doubt its that good for just Fedde..

Those deals are all so, so much worse than Beni's.

This. I am all for moving Beni in a bad $ for bad $ deal. Its obvious he isn't what this team needs, and they just need to let Colas and Fletcher play the OF the rest of the season.

I guess if that's the best offer you have, you can always try to move Rushing for a different prospect this winter (or even via a 3-way in the same deal). I still really dislike an LAD package tho. Unless its a massive overpay from them, I'd rather just hold Crochet and move him this winter when 29 clubs will be interested.

Yeah, I’m not as anti Walker as some seem to be. Dude was a consensus top 5 prospect in the game 350 days ago. It’s gonna be tough to find more upside for Fedde, plus he still has 5 years of control even if Sox brought him straight up post trade. Not saying I love it or it’s without risk, but the talent is there. Sounds like Cards rebuffed the request anyway.

There obviously could be more moving parts to the deal. I doubt it’s just Fedde to STL, Edman to LAD and 1 player to Sox.

Sorry, thought you were referring to SS Culpepper they just drafted not P Culpepper you must be referring to.

Culpepper cannot be traded yet

Mena has like a 1.6 WHIP in AAA. Not saying I support the trade necessarily, but he’s very likely JAG.

And I’m saying it’s a rumor created by white Sox fans who love to predict the sky is falling. What notable source has actually said the Sox are trying to attach Beni to Crochet? I’m sure it’s been discussed because I’m sure someone like LAD would love to do that, but that doesn’t mean the Sox are actually entertaining it.

Because they absolutely need to maximize the talent infusion from the Crochet trade. Not save $16M a year on an already super duper low amount of future commitments. I get you hate everything white Sox and love to predict doom and gloom, but this just seems so terribly unlikely and Sox fans just assuming the worst.
