TomPickle Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Looks like the Reds are getting a little shorted there, not sure they would take it unless 0.7 VALUE is added on the White Sox end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. The SOS of both Centrals was weak (obviously since they only played themselves and each other and were scorched in the playoffs). Trading Madrigal to get Grey - that's just clowning. As for Grey using his secondaries and all of that, fine. Got out and find a guy who is using the secondaries inefficiently and fix him; that way you don't pay a premium price on a pitcher who relies on secondaries.

he gone. Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 55 minutes ago, poppysox said: I don't disagree with what you say. Just don't let's be on the opposite side of that Q for Eloy equation. Agreed there too. Especially when you can go out and get Kluber, Paxton, Q himself, etc. The fact is getting a gray is gravy -- and gravy is nice, but based on a hot streak he'd be maybe starting game 3 or 4 and there's just as much of a chance he lays an egg in his playoff game and we lose as there is a kluber or paxton does. I'll take the "free" option where we dont trade anybody and only have to give a 1-2 year deal out at a reasonable price. Gray, although I'm a big fan is much further down my list than just signing a FA. I'm a big fan of taking one of these high risk guys -- Rich Hill, Kluber, Alex Wood, Paxton. We have enough depth and innings (theoretically) from a plethora of guys. We should utilize those guys in-house & roll the dice on an injury prone guy who can (maybe) be healthy at the right time in the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 While I love the idea of Gray (far more than 1 year of Lynn).. I would be hesitant of the idea of another large prospect haul to upgrade the position when others (not as good obviously) are available for 10mil or so. I image the trade would include Madrigal/Cease + one of our HS SP.. Just would hate to trade that much youth in the same position when others could've been had for money.. Trading Dunning, Madrigal/Cease and Dalquist (example) is a lot to stomach right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 One way to improve the rotation w/o trading anyone.... 'Sugano won the Sawamura Award as Japan’s top pitcher in 2017 and 2018 and was 14-2 with a 1.97 ERA this past season. In his eight-year career, he has a 2.32 ERA'. Decision coming soon (maybe this week). Don't know what he would cost but apparantly the Giants and BlueJays are apparent front runners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been said that they don't participate in that market. It would have been nice to beat the Rangers on Arihara. He signed for about 11M including the posting fee.

iWiN4PreP Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Again, if we are trading with the Reds, I want Castillo -- not Gray. I'm fine giving up premium talent for Castillo. He'd be the best SP on the market by far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They most certainly do but I’d try to keep Kopech if we somehow can. Make that trade, sign La Stella to play 2B, sign a lower cost closer option (Colome or Rosenthal), and cheap options for LH DH and backup C to round out the roster. Castillo would make this one of the best rotations in the AL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
