The Beast Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Please specify who you would trade, what we would get from another team. Also tell the salary difference between the teams. If you are including minor leaguers please state whom and their stats...makes interesting posts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Gordon cannot be traded, he is a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Faulty poll. I would love to trade Koch for A-Rod or Bonds. You have to give up talent to get talent unless the GM is braindead and thinks he's getting a different guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 As much as I like magglio I think that if we are going to retool, Magglio should be traded. San Fransisco would be perfect for Magglio, The Giants have an old CF (Grissom) and Jose Cruz Jr. is a CF by nature, so they could move him over and put Magglio in Right. Then we could get a nice package from SF, hopefully a package that would include Jerome Williams. But, if we are not going to retool, then we should keep Magglio and trade Koch, just to get him off of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 I would like to trade Konerko for any kind of young arm, and I'd probably have to pay half of Konerko's salary to do it. It still may be impossible to accomplish that. But what I think the White Sox are going to have to do (in their minds) is trade Magglio.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Trade Konerko. He is too much of a streaky hitter. Plus he's extremely slow, and GIDP machine. I honestly don't want any more of him and his huge contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do more than just Jose Cruz for Magglio. You could add Konerko, JT Snow couldn't hit a beachball anymore. That would give them two bats to get Barry some more pitches. One of their young pitchers would be nice, but they gave up a bit for Ponson, so I don't think they would give us any young pitchers. I think we would get some junk payroll back from the Giants though, but I could live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I want Konerko the hell out of here....streakiest player on the face of the earth. We can't afford to have him hit .190 in the first half, and we can't afford him to hit .190 in the second half....I don't want him to hit .190 in a half period. We need some consistency from our 1B spot, and he ain't gonna give it to us. Secondly, I though Anaheim would be a great spot for Maggs, personally. They are reportedly interested in Vlad Guerrero, who will probably cost $15 mill a year atleast, so I figure why not trade them Magglio, and get Amezaga, a stud reliever(or in other words, I hope to get one of Percival/Donnelly/KRod[which won't happen]/Weber, though he pitches like a douchebag), or maybe get a fireballer or two from their minor league systems, and then get a SP prospect from them as well. I think something could be worked out. I'd take Erstad if they agreed to pay some of his contract too....as well as us getting some decent players too. Worst case scenario, we have ourselves a decent 1Bman. Best case, he gets healthy, stays healthy, and puts up some pretty damn good numbers.

If your gonna get anyone...go for Krod...none of the others would be worth acquiring, imo. If your gonna trade Maggs make sure you get a long term solution. If I dealt Magglio, I'd look to get the Angels to send ya Erstad and Krod. I'd tell them to pay half of Erstads salary. I'd be willing to give Erstie 4 mill a year. NO idea if they would do it. Otherwise if you get Krod you need to get at least one of the Angels very best prospects plus another very good one. Come to think of it...Krod, Davannon,...top prospect. Big thing is Sox must use Maggs money to improve the team in other ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 To answer the question, though. There are a lot of variables to be considered when you are talking about who to trade. But, based strictly on our personnel situation, I'd have to say Konerko. If Thomas chose to walk, you'd have to reconsider that, but it still might be the best move to make.

Soxplosion Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I agree with wsf. Get Konerko outta here. Get what we can. Old pair of cleats, perhaps? Dont know, dont care... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a mutual option or a club option. I don't remember which one, but I know for a fact he has one. If we are going to trade Mags, we would have to get some type of field player out of it who can play everyday for us, or resign Carl to play right. I would think Grissom has another year or two left, and they are desperate for offense to help Bonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thing is Sox must use Maggs money to improve the team in other ways. In all reality, I'd do a KRod and DaVanon for Maggs trade straight up. We not only get one of the best pitchers in the majors for our bullpen as far as plain stuff is concerned, but we also get a replacement for this year if we can't get a better replacement, and if we can, we have a good OF/1B type, and it also cuts payroll(and if needed, we can also up the offer to Colon). If we could get a decent prospect from them too, that would be stellar and an even better move too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
