JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 5 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Seems like overkill playing 81 games at the Cell. Rather find a traditional RF (preferably left-handed) with plus power. I think he’s a great buy low option. He’s been unlucky at the plate this year and just turned 25. I can definitely see him being a 775 OPS hitter and a RF in the mold of Adam Eaton with his speed and arm strength / elite defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I’d rather have Dylan Carlson than Bader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I would not be trading any of the couple guys worth anything for Bader. He can't hit and has no pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reference, Eaton was 144, 144, 165 in his 3 seasons with the Sox in which he averaged 4.5 fWAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You figure you hope to have a ++ bat in left and a + bat in center, there are worse things to do with the right fielder than help steal outs back that Eloy gives away.

He’s had a rough year at the plate but still a career 709 OPS as a just turned 25 year old isn’t that bad for someone with his defense. If he can get that OPS into the upper 700s, he’s 2016 Adam Eaton. Hit 20 homers in AAA in 2017 pre PED ball (12 homers in 427 PA in MLB last year) so the power is there and he has a decent 8.3% walk rate in MLB. I doubt the Cards give him away but I’d definitely trade a chip like Colome for him. Bader will likely end up more productive at the MLB level than any prospect they would receive in return.

Wouldn‘t mind him at 1B, add Castellanos and Dickerson and you have added 7-9 WAR and still have financial flexibility to buy some pitching.

ChiSox59 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 YAWN!!! Still think Castillo, Jay, Nova and Marshall all have to be pretty good candidates to be moved in the next 30 hours. Perhaps Colome if someone decides to pay up. Doubt Bummer goes anywhere. Not much to move, but this is shaping up like another boring deadline around baseball. Thought the lack of a waiver deadline this year would create a flurry of moves the last week or so, but it really hasn't come to fruition.

Perfect Vision Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 For as much as the Dodgers, Braves, Nationals, Phillies, and Brewers have been involved in talks to bolster their pitching, I have a hard time believing they won't all acquire someone between now and 3pm tomorrow. If the Vazquez talks fall through with the Pirates, it will be interesting to see what the Dodgers do. This is an important year for them and they really need an impact bullpen arm.

Vazquez is going to be extremely expensive. Pitt is asking for combination of Lux or May + Ruiz. I think 4 more years of control left though.

Jack Parkman Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) I hope the Sox could pull off the following trades: Abreu to TB for McClanahan and Banda Colome to PHI for Medina and Haseley/Moniak Mazara to Sox for Fulmer and Hansen Edited July 30, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound like this is true. If they were willing to deal Benintendi, they can do better than a struggling reliever.
