Hahn turned Jose Quintana into Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease. Am I in the twilight zone? Hahn traded Adam Eaton for 2/5ths of our 2021 starting staff...plus Lopez. A win by any measure.

fathom Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 So for the record, this is a Tony deal and not a KW deal or a Hahn deal? 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just now, ChiSox59 said: I don’t think anyone really is saying the sky is falling. It’s just a poor value move and further exhibits the Sox unwillingness to just spend money rather than using valuable assets to acquire underpaid players. It’s gross. This. No sane person can miss how good Lynn is. But the Sox best seasons are still 2 to 5 years down the road with this core. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Sox fans will NEVER change. 1. For all the reasons talked about ad nauseam already, the Sox were not going to be players for Springer or Bauer. Would it have been great? Sure, but so would have Harper, Cole, Machado, the list goes on. It's not how the Sox do business, never have. Deal with it or move on. 2. More importantly......The Sox don't need to make a splash. We've become so used to winning the offseason and being trash by July. The foundation is finally in place. The Sox are going to win the World Series with Giolito-Robert-Moncada-Eloy-Grandal-Timmy leading the way. This is the core. Right now they need to add depth to bring this thing to the finish line. Using a guy like Dane Dunning is how you do that. 3 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like trading a solid prospect for an old few month rental, with a 4.8 Playoff ERA. And for the record, Kenny or Hahn have little to no say at this point, just like they had little to no say in the LaRussa debacle. They collect their checks and keep their mouth shut and smile on cue. Edited December 8, 2020 by South Side Hit Men 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty22hotty Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 6 years of a solid #3+ for 1 year of a 34 year old that had a career year in 2019...? this is a potential 15+ WAR lopsided trade.

Like you mentioned, Dunning is not someone who was going to be a reason they succeed or fail. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuagman Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Haha Dane dunning cy young now. Unbelievable. His ceiling is SP3. And that’s not hard to replace with the younger pitching arms we have coming up and/or free agency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a guy like Dane Dunning is how you do that. They SHOULD sign Bauer, that was the whole point of this rebuild. To go out and BUY the last pieces to stack on the cost controlled core. Sacrificing cost controlled assets for rentals is strictly counterintuitive to the entire concept. Keep Dunning, sign Bauer, dominate.

maloney.adam Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) 5 minutes ago, EloyJenkins said: The beauty is an extension for 2 seasons should be very reasonable money wise as well. That is the silver lining to this. 5 years of dunning for 3 of Lynn eases the blow to all those whining. I agree. I don’t get all the complaining. We just acquired a number 2 starter for someone that we don’t know where he’s going to be a couple years from now. His value was already high as is.

This trade we maybe win the trade next year and lose substantially after that. If he were an ace I’d be ok, but “This is Lance Lynn ffs”. My brother moved to NC a while ago.
