So take it with a huge grain of salt. 30 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: raBBit hinted (I believe) that a MLBTradeRumors user who claims the trade is done for Bummer/Fulmer/low level minor leaguer. Some other twitter rando with like zero followers claims that third piece is Rivera. 30 minutes ago, Buehrle>Wood said: Random Twitter account from last night mentioned it. I think it came from somewhere before that though. Probably here. Ahh, ok. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruiz, Verdugo, Barnes (Marlins have said they want a veteran MLB catcher back in a deal so he can be a throw in)? Or does it need one more lower prospect?

Eminor3rd Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Seems possible/plausible to me that he reason this deal isn’t done yet is because it WON’T happen if the dodgers land realmuto instead. If the Realmuto package includes Verdugo, they suddenly kinda still need Pederson. Sounds like they felt comfortable signing Pollock once they knew they had the framework for a Joc deal done... that could be executed in the event that Realmuto didn’t get done.

Bellinger (if Muncy is at 1B), Pollock, Taylor, Hernandez, Toles in the OF still. Could their starting OF be (from LF-RF) Taylor, Pollock, Bellinger without Pederson? Edit: ...unless they they end up deciding to get really creative to move some money (Hill) for Harper.

I see it more like: OF Left to Right: Verdugo/Kike, Pollock, Bellinger IF Left to Right: Turner, Seager, Taylor, Muncy They definitely have the ability to trade one of Verdugo or Pederson.

Sockin Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) It would be such a White Sox move to dick around with him and then have Manny signed by the mystery team during SoxFest. Edited January 25, 2019 by Sockin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Dodgers were willing to trade both Ruiz and Verdugo, I think the deal would have been done a month ago. This sounds more like the Marlins have finally lowered their asking price. I still think the Dodgers ultimate plan is to acquire Realmuto for a Ruiz + package, and to trade Pederson for MLB-ready relievers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisebri224 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 They better get this Machado thing done. If it's only Pederson, it's basically, "Look, here's our participation ribbon in the offseason." I know it's still looking good, but the longer it goes, the longer you figure it's gonna be bad.

Pederson with Machado is questionable; but to trade for him while not signing Machado is just inane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So they could deal Verdugo in a deal for Realmuto, deal Pederson for a cheap, controllable MLB ready RP or two, and then sign Josh Harrison or Marwin Gonzalez, 2 versatile players (we know they love those types of players). Must feel good to be in that kind of position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
