Who knows, maybe this is their plan B and they go after Haniger as well?  I would be stunned (and livid) if their plan B is simply to get Encarnacion if they miss on the big guys.

I agree, I would rather stay the course than add just to add and if not move the needle, encarnacion is 35, wouldn’t be a long term fit here

We've got Abreu and Yonder...unless we don't land Manny or Harper and plan on flipping Abreu

or what if they get Manny, and then make a 3-way deal with something like this:

White Sox get:  Encarnacion, Haniger

Mariners get:  Cease, two Astros prospects

Astros get:  Abreu

Does anyone know if Encarnacion and Machado are close or have some sort of friendship? If so, this idea could make sense.

This offseason:

- Sox trade for Encarnacion and get a prospect or two for taking on his salary.

- Sox trade Abreu for a prospect or two.

- Encarnacion is another tool to help recruit Machado to the Sox.

Alonso at 1B, Encarnacion at DH next season.

Next offseason:

- Encarnacion departs via free agency.

- The Sox bring back Abreu as a free agent.

- Alonso's option vests, bringing him back to the Sox for another season.

Alonso at 1B, Abreu at DH in 2020.

While this seems far fetched, I guess it isn't entirely impossible.

That would be terrible.

Not saying it wouldn't hurt, but I can't see Mariners giving up Haniger without getting some pitching prospects back.  With Dunning's elbow and Hansen's yips, unfortunately Cease is really the only one with significant trade value.

So the White Sox give up Abreu and a top 30 prospect in baseball to get back Encarnacion and Haniger?
