If that fat slug could slide properly he would be safe.  But he couldn't.

How much do you think it would take for the Sox to make a trade for Berrios? hypothetically speaking of course

More than you want to give up. I'd imagine he'll be on FG top 50 trade values.

A Sale like price.

Twins needs pitching and their window is now.  Sano, Buxton and Rosario all FA after 2021.  Their price would be astronomical.  Not sure 2 top 25 prospects and a couple interesting throw ins get in done.

Escobar trade was fine. At least team was a contender that year.

I am not fine with Escobar being a Twins mainstay for 6-7 years. We got de minimus out of Liriano.

He's been worth less than 1 fWAR per year in his career. Minnesota won that trade for sure but I'm not overly sad about losing a decent bench player.

Not exactly.

7.7 fWAR

2013 0.0 (only 179 at-bats)

2014 2.6

2015 1.9

2016 -0.2

2017 1.7

2018 1.7-1.8 (after today)...but heading for a 5ish season

If we count the middle 4 years, 1.5 fWAR player.   11/6=1.83 for six years...hard to say he’s worth 0 or 5 (outliers), but this offseason should be valued at least as a 2-2.5 if not 3 player.

Sox front office needs to turn it around. 80 percent of their moves have been horrendous since the awesome WS title. They are living (albeit well right now) off the Sale, Robertson, Q and Eaton trades. Aside from that, pathetic front office since the WS title.

Shields should keep his mouth shut for good after this game.. that didn't work out for him to well.

I liked what he said. Some folks can't stand losing and our team is all about tanking.

I'm not comfortable saying a player with a 1.5 WAR average should be valued at 2-3 WAR based on a third of his age 29 season where he's seriously outperformed his career averages and is a prime candidate for regression.

All true but he is having an Abreu season so far.

Because we didn't have Escobar, the White Sox wound up spending good money on Emilio Bonifacio. 

That move in 2013 was a decent gamble because for once, the team was legitimately in the race. But having to spend money on backup players is one consequence.

He won't have an Abreu season by the end of the year.

That's a pretty soft consequence.
