Who is this guy? If they trade Walker for Mazara, that is a massive overpay

If the Phil's are willing to trade him, I'd hope the White Sox are looking into it

The entire front office deserves to be fired if the Mariners fleece them with that trade

What would a price+Benintendi trade look like for the white Sox?

i would not mind us making a trade for either Gray or Marquez (hell, trade for both)!

Joc honestly would be fine. But Calhoun sucks. I'd honestly rather throw Leury out there for another year than go with Calhoun

Puke If not Castellanos, then make a trade

They don't have any fans to begin with

Last year was the only year he was homer prone. And still managed a 60% ground ball rate. Sometimes you need to chalk things up to luck. Keuchel's peripherals are still good. He's never been a power pitcher. Just a guy with good movement on his pitches that knows how to pitch. There's value in that.

I would love for them to bring in Hamels on a 1 year deal

I think with additions of Grandal and Wheeler, along with the continued progression of our core guys, we're looking at an 82-85 win team right now. Add another starter and two bullpen pieces and we're threatening 90

Great men's health supplement spokesman though

Engel's bat is even worse than Yolmer's! I'll give you he's a better defensive outfielder than Leury, but Leury can at least also play SS and is a much better hitter than Engel.

You can if they're backups. I prefer positional flexibility from my bench than offensive output. A bench of Yolmer, Leury, McCann, and Collins is arguably the best bench in the league

I'd bring him back in a heartbeat on a 2 year $7 million deal.

They absolutely need to get a big name pitcher to go along with this signing

1) Maybe as a backup 2) Possibly. But only as a platoon guy against right handed pitchers. 3) Most likely. And worse than that, he's solely a platoon guy against RHP. He has proven he can't hit lefties. 4) Does he have any value right now? 5) No. At this point we know what he is. A left handed power hitting high OBP guy against right handed hitters. A backup player positionally that should fill in for 80 games or so a year giving the regular 1B, C, or DH a day off.

Wasn't Devers a top 20 prospect at that time? The authors making it sound like he was at the same level as Basabe.

Good. Didn't want the White Sox touching him.

Yes He's basically Todd Frazier.

He's also been an extremely lucky hitter. A lot of guys begin to trend downward after 30, especially catchers. Add the general trend to the fact his numbers are inflated due to luck, and he's the prime candidate of all the FA's this offseason to get a massive overpay.

No, not when he's on the wrong side of 30. I expect major regression in his numbers the next few years.

Grandal is a terrible idea. Average defensive catcher on the wrong side of 30 who has had two lucky offensive seasons and is more likely to hit .220 than .250. Hard Pass. Ozuna or bust this offseason. If the Sox did that, the front office should be absolutely crucified. That's the worst trade I've ever seen.

I want zero part of either of these guys. JDM is a DH only. He is atrocious defensively. You get better value going after Ozuna, and it's not even close. Grandal has also been one of the luckiest hitters the last two years and I'd expect major regression in his batting average going forward. He is a .220/.230 hitter who got a little lucky the last two years hitting close to .250. He's a decent framer, but also can't stop a running game having one of the worst pop times in the game. He screams regression from a free agent standpoint. Funny. I am good with the pitchers named, but not a big fan of the hitters.

Ok so that's 80 wins, but assumes no one get's hurt. That's just not likely. For the most part I agree that they are in the 78-82 win realm for next year if they just stand pat. But I don't see them getting to 90 wins with just one player. Mookie get's them to mid 80's. That's not worth giving up prospects for. They're better off getting Marcell Ozuna and keeping their prospects.
