Weird though, if they were preparing to send Verdugo you'd think that would trump Phillies deal. I like Sixto more, but he's a few years away and a pitcher.

That leaves Machado for us. And the Dodgers can now safely hold onto Verdugo, making Joc expendable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They most likely would have moved Verdugo in that deal and now that he's staying, they're more likely going to be motivated to move Joc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is true, they still want to win this year and just upgraded their catcher and then some, at a cost of a tremendous but young pitcher whom could get injured at any point.

Now we go on Kluber trade watch for the next few days until Cleveland’s pitchers and catchers report. Once that hurdle is cleared, Jason Kinander will let us know what’s going on with Joc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for Joc, if no Manny. So I say, Manny ——> Joc / Harper (mutually exclusive but both reliant on Manny signing first...for different reasons) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign Manny and then trade for Joc is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Fulmer even as a "maybe someone might actually fix him" last chance guy is more valuable to us than Joc is a great demonstration of why that deal is a poor fit for the White Sox.

Though I've thought for weeks Harper to Phillies and Machado to Sox is a forgone conclusion Harper to Phils, agree. I refuse to believe Machado is in the bag until he's, well, in the bag. This is still the White Sox after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
