Robles, Giolito would go to #WhiteSox. Teams haggling over final pieces in deal. In no Turner, I think they need one of Lopez/Fedde, and then 2 more prospects to make that deal fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpd9189 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 W/O Turner they legitimately need to get 5-6 prospects. Not all will pan out so the more the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 6m6 minutes ago Asked a source if a Sale trade to the Nationals was close. His answer was "no."

Kalapse Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) I like Chuck, but Rosenthal is the best in the business. The funny thing is the Rosenthal/Heyman reports are clearly direct Sox leaks to induce bidding so either Garfein has a very truthful, lower level source or a bad one.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) So...one of the best pitchers in the game on the best contract in the game for...2 pitching prospects? Am I missing something? That seems horrendous unless both of those prospects become 1/2 level instantly when they hit the majors. Robles is a CF with superstar potential, while Giolito has legit ace upside. Both guys are universally considered top 10 to 15 prospects. And just for reference, he are some familiar names from BA's midseaon top 100 list: 1. Moncada 4. Giolito 5. Turner 7. Swanson 8. Bregman 9. Benintendi 13. Robles People keep saying they need a Turner, Benintendi, or Bregman headliner, but I'd argue that Giolito & Robles are basically on that same level just with more downside risk. Regardless, the only pair of prospects that would be a better get would be Moncada & Benintendi. If Hahn pulls this off with at least one of Lopez/Fedde and some other positional pieces in the package, I will beyond f***ing ecstatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
