Chicago White Sox Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 With the Winter Meetings just days away (starting on the 10th), I thought we should do a predictions thread for our beloved White Sox. Please list the trades, signings, moves you think the Sox will make next week, including any Rule 5 selections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please list the trades, signings, moves you think the Sox will make next week, including any Rule 5 selections. -One of Avi and Abreu gets moved. Don't really know the where for who. I may come back to this later. -Sox take Nestor Cortes in Rule 5 Draft. Very thin on lefties in the pen, will probably lose Guerrero. He's also started some games in the minors so he can be a spot starter when we try to give guys extra rest.

WBWSF Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 1) Hahn trades both Garcia and Abreu. 2) Hahn then announces that he will bring back Adam Laroche and Jeff Keppinger and they will bat in the middle of the order for 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want that saga to just end. But there's also the possibility he holds out until the trade deadline.

I am assuming that if he doesn't accept a trade by the end of the first day of winter meetings those teams that were interested will move on.. They'd have to.. At least the Cards would since they're respectable without him and can sign other FA to contend. The Giants I guess can keep waiting.

Jose Abreu Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) A.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 Free Agents -Sign Hector Rondon to a 1 year, $5M deal w/ incentives **Sox reunite him with his former manager & offer first crack at the closer’s job (incentives based on games saved) Trades -Sox trade IF Carlos Sanchez to the Brewers for 3B Lucas Erceg & 2B Isan Diaz **Milwaukee fills their 2B hole with a cost-controlled asset, Sox buy low on two minor league infielders with upside Rule 5 -Sox select Kohl Stewart in 1st round **Great athlete with sinking stuff (huge plus at The Rate) who just might be able to stay healthy in a bullpen role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he truly is a 2 WAR player going forward, he’s going to provide quite a bit of surplus value over his remaining four years of control. This is just going to be quick and dirty, but let’s say he’s worth $64M (2 WAR x 4 x $8M) but will only get paid $20M over that same period. We’re talking about roughly $44 in surplus value right there. I think that gets you two high upside guys in A+ coming off down years, but again, the Brewers would have to view Sanchez’s defense as being elite.
