southsider2k5 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 05:23 PM) Thoughts on what sox could get from Cubs for Q? I would go after Contreras, Soler and Happ A cubs deal has to start with either Contreras or Schwarber. Schwarber actually makes a lot of sense as he really is a DH in waiting.

They said the Cubs wouldn't trade Schwarber straight up for Sale. Just saw the clip, and Pat Boyle said "maybe they could trade Soler, Almora and another piece for Sale".

soxfan49 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 *One rival executive’s read on the White Sox: “I think they’re in the exact same place they were in during the summer. They’ll listen on everyone, but I think they’ll focus on trying to move the short-term guys first and then listen on the big guys — and ultimately not move the big guys.” The “short-term guys” are Frazier, second baseman Brett Lawrie and outfielder Melky Cabrera, all of whom are entering free-agent years, and closer David Robertson, who is signed through 2018. The “big guys,” of course, are left-handers Chris Sale and Jose Quintana. --per Rosenthal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Astros are in the market for a 1b/dh type. I'd offer them Abreu for some of their prospects. They have 4 or 5 of the top 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 06:52 PM) Him and Almora were the other two I was gonna flip with Happ and Soler Eloy Jimenez is light years better than all four of those guys. You'd start there and take whatever else you could get. Soler is definitely worth a gamble, but he's got to be a final throw-in type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 05:50 PM) Ideally, trade Sale and Q to Boston and New York. It's actually scary how well the Sox match up with Boston. Even though Dombrowski downplayed their need for starting pitching he did say they need a DH and relief help. That's Abreu and Jones. See if you could get a decent haul for those 2 before you give up Sale. Ideally I'd rather see Sale go to the NL. Now say the Yankees offer a package for Sale I often wonder if a GM could get a better deal if they throw in a promise not to trade Q to Boston or other AL East teams.
