Southwest Sider Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 He'd be a good fit. Hopefully the talks from last year help springboard these discussions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Assuming the price is right, I’d be all for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joc strictly is a platoon player with one year of control left on a $8,5 mil contract and is clearly expendable for the Dodgers. He doesn't have a ton of value.

Pederson is worth more than that on the trade market, especially coming off a 3.0 WAR season. Sox clearly are assessing the free agenct prices of Ozuna/Castellanos, compared to trade prices of guys like Joc and Starling Marte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sockin Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Kinda hoping they're leaking this because they're trying to get a FA OF to come down on price or are talking to another team about a trade.

daggins Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 6 minutes ago, Chisox378 said: Can Joc play CF? He can probably fake it. I like Joc a lot and I don't think any prospect outside of Robert/Madrigal/Vaughn would really be off the table but I don't know what else we could really offer the Dodgers.

username Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I mean we have plenty of prospect capital to make this happen. My guess is some bullpen-type arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
