The point was that he did sign an extension. Right. But with Rodon, you likely also have to wait until his last year. As a Boras client, he will gamble on himself and his health before signing a extension of any kind. Makes no sense for him not to wait.

fathom Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Looking at some of the garbage the Nats are starting, Shields makes a ton of sense for them sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nice thing is he's pitching well enough we can just dump the salary (I could see us sending $2mil for the buyout) but he should be able to slot into the backend of quite a few rotations.

Shields and Soria for Jake Thompson and Roman Quinn We'd probably have to throw in some offsetting $ as well...and even then its still questionable what we'd get in return for what we have to trade. I think Jose was our only chance to get a legit prospect back and his slump probably killed that. We all have to cross our fingers Jose goes on a ridiculous tear the next 3 weeks. I work for the Philles' AAA affiliate. I've seen a lot of Jake Thompson. We don't want Jake Thompson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he pretty good prospect for the Rangers at 1 point? Figured he'd be a decent Coop'll fix em candidate. But if you've seen him and the stuff isn't there I'll take your word for it. How about Ben Lively? Potential for a back end of the rotation arm next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential for a back end of the rotation arm next year? Ben Lively looks much better, at least against IL hitters. I don't know if it's a deception thing, but he seems to keep hitters consistently off balance with his fastball. Jake Thompson nibbles a lot, walks guys, and then gets lit up when he has to come back to the zone. Mark Appel was the same way.

Their internal scouting completely missed on him and allowed the Padres to fleece him from us. It was a complete organizational failure to allow him to go.

When you fail at something that dramatically you can't just move on, at an organizational level you stop and assess what f***-ups allowed such a dramatic failure to happen, then you take major steps to fix them. You remove people from their jobs if necessary, you change organizational procedures in any way you can think of. That's like the equivalent of the business losing well over a hundred million dollars, between the money taken on for Shields and the value that Tatis could have brought even if he was just traded later. Someone made a decision in haste that cost the White Sox organization the equivalent of $100+ million in value. Anyone here think they've maid corrections equivalent to a failure of that magnitude?

striker Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Carlos Rodon and Sanchez to Nationals for Robles, Kieboom and Jefry Rodriguez. They can make their last run with Harper, add depth with Sanchez and help their rotation with Rodon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You absolutely have to self assess what happened and try to prevent it. Just like every organization has to figure out why they didn't outbid us to sign him or why the other 30 or so players got bigger bonuses in the first place.
