iWiN4PreP Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Wow, Padres strike again and burn the hearts of White Sox fans. :(. Every move they make strikes a weird jealous nerve in me. Great for them, and it does seem like Musgrove netted quite a bit of a return here. I'm not mad that the White Sox didn't match it/go for it with the return on Musgrove so far, but yeh it sucks for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Not the end of the world, was fascinated by Musgrove but that was also assuming a semi reasonable price and I don’t think we could have pulled something like this. Oh well, on to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not mad that the White Sox didn't match it/go for it with the return on Musgrove so far, but yeh it sucks for us. But what did the Padres really give up? More minor league depth, and Lucchesi is much more valuable to another team as a 5 than a long man. They're actually better off not paying him and giving that spot to youngsters with more ability. He's actually one of those guys like Davies that you put in the final slot and he won't kill you but he will keep any good offense within shouting distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t even think it’s player development. It’s player acquisition. But let’s also remember one thing: the mlb rewards the Padres, located in one of the richer locales in sports, another draft pick every draft that they can use to bundle budget and get a Hudson head. And they have an owner who spends more than ours. We are at a disadvantage there. I think we get less intl budget too?

That's why Croenenworth, CJ Abrams and the Korean infielder will be so valuable.... positional versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just horseshit But the 28th or 29th media market...otoh, losing the Chargers and their NBA franchise consolidates sports marketing/sponsirship dollars as well as frees more fans for choosing ticket packages across just one sport versus three.

The Sox were never rumored for Musgrove. Don't have the prospects to make a trade like this. There are similar level pitchers in Free Agency right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're twice as expensive and twice as likely not to perform well. Musgrove really turned a corner last year.
