About 47 teams want him. Welcome to the prom, I'm the queen. Don't like how John Danks preformed last year and Kenny blames you. Gallo is going to be an annual 450 strike out risk.

 

You'll have to do better than that.

 

How about we give you Abreu for Mazara and Profar thou.

 

Excuse me, my tent is being pitched.

-Rick Hahn

I'm the king, bro. It ain't my fault your scouts suck balls. Gallo is the best thing since sliced bread. The Sox haven't had a guy this powerful since Joe Borchard.

 

Mazara, Gallo, Profar, Mendez, and Taveras for Sale.

 

Just do it.

Gotta include Feede, Gutierrez, and Stevenson as well. Those last two are low level lottery tickets and don't mean much to you. Ross, Giolito, Robles, Feede, Gutierrez, and Stevenson for Sale.

 

-Rick

 

Rock,

 

You're asking for way too much.

 

Ross, Giolito and Robles gives you a young starting pitcher, one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, and a top ten prospect in Robles who has a huge ceiling

 

Nothing more needs to be added

Take out Profar and give me Odor. That gets you Quintana.

You're gonna let Feede prevent you from Chris Sale? Ok. Your choice.

Dave Dombroski just tried to sell me on some new inventive Irish hammock hot dog fad going down in Detroit. So at least you've come up with a somewhat coherently sane offer in comparison.

 

Who's Colin Moran - related to Captin Morgan by chance? Tell me more.

 

We told Jay-Z that we'd give him a yacht with a solid gold mast in exchange for Cespedes on a lifetime contract. Like our chances there.

 

Peace,

-Rich Hahn

 

Martes will be at the top of your rotation with Carlos Rodon and Carson Fulmer in the near future.

 

Colin Moran is your future 3B after you trade Todd Frazier. Moran hit 10 HRs and 69 RBIs last season at AAA from the left side of the plate, so he gives your lineup some much needed left handed power.. He has sure hands and is a good defender. You've lacked a good young 3B since Joe Crede left.

 

Kyle Tucker gives you power in the outfield from the left side of the plate when he's ready in 2 years.

 

To seal the deal I'll include Alex Bregman. His prospects status speaks for itself.

 

 

Can I ask why the f*** you changed your stadium to Guaranteed Rate Field?

That's a serious offer. I've got a Dodgers deal in the work that I'm higher on thou. You can have Quintana for that same package. Similar production as Sale and an extra year of control.

 

About the naming rights... Boyer was in a blackout.

 

Thanks,

Got an offer that's more attractive from another team - not interested even with Feede in. Willing to talk Quintana for a Giolito / Robles based package thou.

What's LAD's offer?

 

Alex Bregman and Tim Anderson will be your double-play combo for the next 10 seasons. You won't want to pass on him. Give me a chance to beat their offer. The only reason we're moving him is for Chris Sale only. We'll consider Quintana.

Urias, DeLeon, Bellinger, Verdugo, Alvarez, and Lux.

So, your issue is developing hitting and the crown jewels of your trade with LAD is starting pitching? Bregman is one of the best hitting prospects in the game. He's far better than Bellinger, Lux and Verdugo.

 

 

 

Take Alex Bregman, Francis Martes, Kyle Tucker, Colin Moran, and to seal the deal I'll add in Forrest Whitley, our 3rd ranked prospect in our system.

As a fan here, not as Jed Hoyer, I'd take Bregman, Moran, Tucker, Martes, and Reed for Sale in a heartbeat.

Quintana is great, but I'm not willing to give up both Giolito and Robles for him

 

I would offer Giolito or Robles plus

 

Fedde or Dunning

 

Plus

 

pick two outside our organizational top 10

Agreed. I'm trying to be realistic and read about these prospects and be objective through this "fun exercise." That deal trumps the LAD deal IMO.

If the White Sox were offered Bregman, Martes, Tucker, Moran and Reed I would be floored

 

That would be crippling for Houston to offer and a no brainer for the White Sox to accept and not look back

I thought about taking Dayton Moore and selling. All those Boras clients with expiring deals. They need to figure out what to do with Hosmer, Moustakas, and Cain.

 

Wade Davis is still the likeliest to go...but went through injury in second half.

 

You've got Moustakas vs. Cuthbert at 3rd. Duffy has a lot of trade value as a one year rental coming off last season. Dyson is also probably going to end up superfluous.

True - Traditionally pitching prospects have more projected value compared to hitters. Alright, you've got a deal.

 

Chris Sale for Bregman, Martes, Tucker, Moran, and Whitley.

 

Boom. Call up the commish.

I don't see Houston ever being willing to part with that much talent to trade for Sale

 

Bregman, Martes and Tucker alone is a huge return...Moran and Whitley being added would completely gut the farm system for years

You *SHOULD* be gutting your farm system to add a Chris Sale. You have a top of the rotation starter under control for 3 years. You're making a move to win those 3 years. You will have 3 years of drafts and signings to restock that system.

Should is different than reality though

 

I'm I'm Houston, I am very interested in Sale...but trading Bregman, Martes, Tucker plus two more high quality prospects is just too high of a price to stomach

 

Chris Sale has a ton of value, but getting a team to part with 5 of their 10 top prospects is a painful pill to swallow

 

An offer of Bregman, Tucker, Martes and Moran alone would be a very compelling one for the White Sox to consider

Added this to the rules of the game:

 

"Once a trade has been agreed to, the Soxtalk community who isn't taking on a persona has an opportunity to collectively act as Commissioner. If the general consensus is that the trade is too lopsided, the deal falls apart."
