And the value on Machado reflected that, which is why the Orioles held on to him until the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean he wants to trade Bryant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Which also likely means that they arent players for Harper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you can flip him for prospects, but the Cubs are very much in win now mode. I see very low chance a deal for him gets done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I would not be interested in giving up what it would take to get Bryant unless the Sox already had Harper signed. Even then I would question the real motivations behind Bryant's availability (injury, control, cost, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard no from me. Guys the Sox are far more likely to sign Machado and Harper than trade for Kris fucking Bryant. I will pull a Jack Parkman and straight up say this is not even worth discussing. Not at all. The Sox didn't build their farm system to tear it down for 3 years of Kris Bryant. Stop the nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think cutting $12M to $13M in salary is enough to add a +$30M AAV guy. All signs point to them having very little payroll flexibility right now.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Why? WS have a huge hole at 3B and a future starter in Madrigal at 2B. Rodon hits FA same year as Bryant. Move the contention window forward if the WS are serious about contending in 2019 and signing someone like Harper. Of course, that also means they'd have another hole in the starting rotation to fill through FA or trade. Bryant, Harper, Abreu, and Eloy in the middle of the lineup would be so much fun even if the pitching is atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is literally the first thing that went through my head. If that is the case, I doubt he'd get much of a return in relation to a player of his caliber because he'd have trouble passing a physical, as crazy as that sounds.

Chicago White Sox Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I seriously doubt the Cubs move Bryant. Just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever unless they’re worried he’s legit injured. The whole “he’s going to depart when he hits free agency” was always reality and they wouldn’t let that jeopardize their short-term window.

Theo Epstein, the head of baseball operations, was asked earlier this week at the GM meetings about the availability of Bryant and first baseman Anthony Rizzo in trades. "We've never operated with untouchables," he said. "It sends the wrong message. Given what we're trying to accomplish, it would be virtually impossible to envision the deal that would make sense to move them. I just don't believe in untouchables. Why limit yourself?"
