Obviously Pederson is an upgrade regardless, but his connection with Machado is worth noting IMO. I doubt this has anything to do with Machado and is simply coincidence. Pederson is a good player and immediately become the best OF'er on the Sox. This looks like a baseball move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is a move that, if made, speaks to the FO’s confidence in executing on Machado 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows if he'll be able to even come close to these numbers again. May not, but Justin Turner and Chris Taylor have AAAA pedigree....they seem to have gotten "lucky' with a lot of late bloomers.

It's unfortunate that he only has 2 years of team control left but hopefully someone will be ready to take his place by then, whether that's Luis Robert or someone else.

When the young OF'ers are ready to take his place maybe he could be resigned to become our first baseman, if he remains a solid player for us. We do have a topic on the future of first base.

caulfield12 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) When he hits FA at 28 years old...turning 29...it will be as an OFer, and probably still CF. Same principle as Machado at SS. Edited January 21, 2019 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is available for less than he could be typically, then you just make move regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughneck Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If Pederson was a free agent, I'd be all for the Sox getting him. But I don't like trading a nice prospect like Bush for him when he only has 2 years of control left and likely won't be here when the White Sox World Domination window is open. I think this move only makes sense if they are getting Machado and also landing Kuechel. But even then, us winning still requires Yoan to rebound, Giolito to rebound, and for Eloy to tear it up from the start when called up.

There's no way they're going to add Keuchel this year...it's going to be someone like Miley/Gio/Pomeranz, depending on whether we get HIll or not. It doesn't make sense to go all-in on the FA pitching market until we know exactly what we have (and we still won't know about Kopech 100%) heading into 2020.

drgiggles15 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I guess I'm way out of the loop, but everyone is talking about Bryce Bush and how he shouldn't be traded. I looked at the White Sox Top 30 Prospects and didn't even see him listed. Is he new or something? Drafted last year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your argument is Joc would demand to play CF going into free agency a la Manny Machado instead of moving to corner. It’s a terrible argument. If he needs to play CF because Sox need it, then it has nothing to do with what machado did. So it’s a terrible argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
