Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) Asking for Correa says that Hahn/Williams are either a) not serious or b) still wed to this nutty notion of a "3 year window" and that they can actually contend this year. Astros are contenders. They will not trade their stud SS in July. Nor should they. And that's not who Hahn should be looking for anyway. You can get a buyer's surplus this year by grabbing elite prospects, not with established major leaguers. Ask for Bregman +...that's where the surplus lies. yes, they are prospects; but the Sox are looking to close multiple holes and build a weak organization. You're f***ing nuts. I'd take Correa and not look back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panerista Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 A package including Correa for Sale would be an unreal grab for the White Sox. That's why it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) A sale deal would happen in the offseason IMO. Astros are in the race. No way they'd move Correa let alone during the race.

KW always wants to compete. He caught lightning in a bottle in 2005 and now assumes the way to win is overpay talent other teams don't want.
