caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) It's not enough, but that's not an awful offer. You add Betts or JBJ and I'd probably take it. The Red Sox would be insane to offer that package. The Dodgers might, with Kershaw out indefinitely...and the Rangers can afford to wait on Darvish.

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Trade Frazier, Robertson and/or Jones, Cabrera, Lawrie, Shields and Gonzalez if you feel they're the best packages you will receive in the next 12 months. Listen on Q and Sale. Same with Eaton. Hold onto Abreu and Rodon. Simple. Start targeting CFers in trades, as well as 2B or 3B, catchers, DH/LH power hitter. Play Saladino more at 2b/of.

bmags Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Caulfield has to be in hog heaven with the possibilities of listing every position and prospect in league, let alone the precedent deals with all those names.

JLarucci23 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I was all for trading everybody with value but the more I think of it. Maybe you keep Sale and a position player to being the veteran presence like an Abreu or Eaton. Then trade Q for the haul we need, along with guys like Frazier, melky plus the BP arms.

Trade everybody who is on the upside of their value. Right now, that's not Abreu. He can be the veteran presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 QUOTE (Soxnfins @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) You want to know what would be such a White Sox move? Trade Fulmer for Lucroy, whom is conviently out of the lineup for he Brew Crew tonight. Hahn said today he won't be making any short term upgrades to the roster.

fathom Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 With the Sox admitting they suck, can they please send Fulmer back to AAA to get work as a starter? It's not like he did so well in the minors that there was no challenge left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I want Abreu gone ASAP. I think he's older than he says he is and it's obvious that he's already breaking down physically. The Sox need to trade him before he turns into Avisail Garcia Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) All the Rangers trading Gallo for Sale suggestions on Twitter make me sick. I want Profar...not somebody who it's certainly questionable if he can make contact with the ball in the majors or not. Ideally though...you dont have the top pieces as prospects in either the Q or Sale trade. They should be major league ready players. I bet that's what Boston didnt offer in their package earlier this week. Edited July 21, 2016 by Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Send Rodon down for a month to throw only changeups and fastballs for 100+ pitches over 4-6 starts...try to find a way for him to start a playoff game for a minor league affiliate, if possible.

Was just going to write that. That is so ridiculous. I'm disappointed in Abreu, but the guy has been a class act since he's been here and tried his all on a decent contract.

It's weak right now and the market is ripe. I dont know if waiting is going to help that much. Dom in Boston already overpaid for a SP. They could certainly fleece him or another team desperate for the playoffs. Edited July 21, 2016 by Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
