Moan4Yoan Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Bruuuccceee on The Score thinks the Sox move Colome for pitching if the price is right but also thinks the Sox will keep Bummer as their closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 What kind of return would Colome net the White Sox in a trade? Pretending he was being traded to the White Sox, would we get someone like Cease? Stiever? McClue? Dunning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who he would compare to among current Sox arms but Josiah Gray (Dodgers) would be a solid return. Spencer Howard (Phillies) would be a great get but would likely cost a great deal more than Colome. The idea of Gohara from Braves (LH fireballer w/issues) is interesting but a bit difficult to pigeonhole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesterday333 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There are a few players from the Twins that are ranked a little lower but are close to the bigs I would be interested in. Nick Gordon, Stephen Gonsalves and Luke Raley would all be interesting pieces to get back from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the teams that theoretically you should be able to extract the most value from because they'd rather get something for their assets as opposed to holding and creating roster casualties in the offseason. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to imagine we start seeing some smoke in the next couple days. There's also a ton of teams in Limbo though, you could say even the Sox are pretty much there.

Asking price should be through the roof and Hahn is quite good at extracting the maximum when he has something good to trade. This will definitely not be a salary dump.

This will definitely not be a salary dump. With it being a hard trade deadline, I'm sure sellers are keeping their asking prices high. Contenders will be forced to pony up if they want to add talent for a WS run. Prices always come down to reality closer to the deadline, but Sox shouldn't let Colome/Bummer/etc. go on the cheap.

greg775 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I read somewhere the Sox consider Bummer a closer candidate of future. Did anybody see that? If so and they keep him I hope you all remember I guaranteed on here we're not trading Bummer. Colome ... if the Yankees or Braves or Dodgers or whomever want him so badly why aren't they getting it done. Maybe Hahn can pull off the steal of the century. Yes I hate "flipping" players but if he can get 4 can't miss prospects or 3 for him I guess I can't complain. With him I go back to the original deal. We get him for Narvaez? And that's it? I keep thinking we'll just get a similar prospect back for Colome on the flip. Just an Omar Narvaez ceiling type guy. That's dumb in that scenario to deal next year's closer for somebody only as good as Narvaez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's dumb in that scenario to deal next year's closer for somebody only as good as Narvaez. His value has clearly changed since the trade. And we are not getting 4 guys back for him, especially cant miss prospects. If he gets traded it will be for a really good prospect or 2 who are ready to contribute next year. And the reason they will be more valuable is because they will have more years of cheaper control. I do think you are right about Bummer, the only way he leaves is if it is for a kings ransom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the reason it isn't done yet is because the closer we get to the deadline the more panicked these teams will become and give us greater leverage in negotiations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox are in a good position because guys like Colome and Bummer are not rentals, they do not have to be traded. I really think we will see contender's ponying up to acquire playoff push help, and relievers are always in demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what world is Colome the #1 closer available? This board has a real problem with over and under valuing players depending on nothing more than whether they wear a Sox uniform.
