Chicago White Sox Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 The Indians & Sox being tied for 1st place at the deadline and making a blockbuster trade would be historic. I still think the Clevinger rumor is a plant to drive leverage for some other deal, but man would it be crazy if it actually went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want him walking after only that short a time and then Kopech haunt us for years in our division. If this happens, they better make Clevinger haunt Cleveland for years in the division.

Not sure how I would feel about such a trade to be honest, but that deal really helps us this year and for the next two. It would definitely put a lot of pressure on Crotchett and/or Kelley to develop into TOR starters as we’d lose Clevinger after the 2022 season & Giolito after the 2023 season. I’d definitely prefer if you can get him a quantity based package, but that remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say this.....because it has been exciting......but this year truthfully doesn't really matter. This is one big preseason. 60 games, ridiculously uneven schedule, 7 inning doubleheaders, starting with a man on second in extra innings.... I hope they win as much as possible this year......but no matter what happens there will be a TRIPLE asterisk next to this season. I'm looking for the White Sox to be a powerhouse NEXT year. And if Clevinger then is only here two years?......I agree with you, I'm not sure how I'd feel about it either. I can see good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d definitely prefer if you can get him a quantity based package, but that remains to be seen. It’s so hard to time starting pitching with contending. FA would be great, but we saw how even with Wheeler having the top offer didn’t guarantee getting them. Next years FA class kinda sucks, and we don’t know how the Sox will fare in a bidding war with Reinsdorf. Clevinger being available is about as good as we’ll find, and we are absolutely now contenders. We need to make sure we maximize what we know now and not be so concerned about 2025. We have 5 years to figure that out and draft/sign guys to prepare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s time sox fans stop getting as excited about counting contract years and start thinking about making each of the next five years as close to guaranteed playoffs as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I prefer Plesac. Perhaps ReyLo plus Collins or something like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Rangers get Kopech and Flores Indians get Gallo Sox get Clevinger If it happened, that's my guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if Clevinger will be here 5 years. But if he walks in 2 and Kopech is haunting us after that, then we aren't guaranteeing the playoffs for 5 years. We'd be actually hurting ourselves. That's what makes this tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
