Jack Parkman Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Like others have said, it makes zero sense that 1 year of Machado costs as much as 5 years of Eaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Wow, rude awakening, but I can't see them actually following through- unless it's for something like Avi and one or two of the lesser prospects.

Names like Giolito being thrown around frighten me. Why? If it were 3 top prospects, I can see it. But if they are dangling one top pitching prospect and maybe Avi and/or Tim Anderson, we should be ecstatic. Though he had a down year, Machado is 25 years old and a top 10 player in the game. He's an everyday player. You feel great as long as you don't give up, Kopech + Giolito +. The one thing the White Sox have been able to do right over the past 15 years is draft and develop pitching. Everyday players is where they have struggled in recent history. As long as you're not giving up Moncada, Robert, and those likes, it's a pretty easy deal to make.

The Orioles are the worst team in MLB for nixing trades at the ownership level for extremely petty reasons, yet Carlos Rodon would be the primary target? Yeah, that doesn't add up.

I just don't get what the positives for getting Manny for a season is. You run the risk of really hurting the talent level on the team in two seasons if you don't extend him while giving up a few starting pitchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a gamble for them, but it’s one year of Machado, not 3 or 4. The Sox have a nice wealth of arms, and shoulders are tricky. I said Rodon and Fulmer for Machado and a prospect. Maybe add Adams too, and make a deal. It’s a good gamble for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I've been thinking for a while that Rodon doesn't seem to be meshing with this pitching coach/staff, he hasn't seemed to take the step forward I thought he'd take even in 2016, and then throw in injury. If the White Sox turn him into a long-term deal with Machado, that fits needs for both teams IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
