BamaDoc Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Ouch. Hope they give up a lot although San Diego's presumed window is about like ours. Realistically , I don't ever see them being able to consistently compete vs Dodgers $$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cimber is a nice,controllable arm for them as well. Good trade for both sides. Edited July 19, 2018 by TheTruth05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Cleveland knows their window isn't long enough for Mejia to make a difference before this team breaks up and that they need to be contenders for a title this year and next year, and Hand helps that tremendously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want SD to have him, but glad CLE doesn't anymore. Hopefully the White Sox can get something anywhere near this for Soria and/or Shields.

Jose Abreu Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Take notes Hahn. Let's package some of our guys to get a better prospect. Soria, Cedeno, and Avilan in the same trade even. Obviously wouldn't get someone like Mejia but maybe a top 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen and Miller are free agents after this season too, while Hand is signed through 2021 potentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half a year of Chapman netted Gleyber Torres. Why can't the White Sox cash in on this trend of overvaluing relievers? I see no reason they can't.

They can, but we don't have a Chapman, or even a Kahnle this year. Soria should bring something, but it won't be a top 100 guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Sox already cashed in on this trend and also Hahn doesn't need to take any notes! He already made a package last year. Rutherford is a really good prospect, despite whether or not some of you have soured on him due to last seasons struggles and his current lack of power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) If the White Sox got a top 15 (in the Sox system) prospect for Soria I'd be very pleased. Edited July 19, 2018 by TomPickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about that from a contenders point of view, I don't see it. Shields, while having recovered majorly, still isn't really going to move the needle on a deal. In terms of value to other teams (even assuming that the Sox pick up major dollars on these deals) probably looks like 1. Soria 2. Avilan 3. Yolmer 4. Shields 5. Cedeno Past that, I don't really see anyone having any real value or chance of being traded (Abreu, Avi, Nate Jones, Rodon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Fantastic news. No matter how you feel our rebuild is going, the division is going to be wide open in a few years and right around when our core in place. Spend some money on a few free agents and if all goes well we should be able to run with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't believe that. I think some team would look at Soria, Avilan, and Shields and give the Sox something good for that package, especially if they're not paying a dime for those three players.
