Adding two stars for only 19m They supposedly only have $3 million left. Ozuna and Marquez will cost around $22-23 million in additional salary for 2021 alone.

Then there was another Tweet about having offered 10M for Joc , he refused and Sox signed Eaton for $7 . That's a $3M difference . But then you have to figure they budgeted a certain amount for Hendriks that still preserved that $3M cushion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I don’t buy that if an opportunity like this presented itself that some limit if 3m would stop it jr is a cheap clown, but not a complete idiot. maybe getting ozuna is wishful thinking on my end tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Here is what I am for , let’s offer some scouts from Tampa, the cardinals, maybe even the twins a million dollars more than they are making and bring them over here so we can scout better , draft better pieces so in the future we can have an org that can trade pieces to get pieces. This thread should be dead before it’s gets Cruz like, it’s not happening . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread should be dead before it’s gets Cruz like, it’s not happening . Crochet, vaughn, madrigal, kelley, robert, thompson, vera, coespedes all say hi. They have drafted just fine the last 2-3 years and their cuban work is unmatched. They need to draft some latin teenagers...that is all. The top end is working and they have 4 top 56 prospects they DONT want to trade Edited January 30, 2021 by EloyJenkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi back to them they were all good picks because we sucked every year, literally sucked and they were all top picks. Easy to get the best players when your picking in the top 5. Not fighting with you or anyone but we are a very top heavy org then then we have nothing. We should have had more while we rebuilt, way more . Anyway we don’t have enough pieces. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I agree they should have some more depth, but their drafting philosophy didnt change until 2 years ago. Its going to take some time to get depth filled in. Teenage prospects have such a high flame out rate though...and why they get traded so often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 What does a deal for Marquez look like? Definitely Vaughn and 3 other prospects if the big guys are off the table? Stiever, Thompson, Dalquist on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a prospect. A guy like Ozuna, on the other hand, just had a MVP caliber year in the big leagues and has had amazing years before. Monster hitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire narrative in the past 2 weeks has been the White Sox have some limit where they can't spend over 3m. That's absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand kopech doesn't make that much sense for the rockies because he only has like one year of control more than marquez. The rockies really need full 6 years of control guys.

But sure, I just made up an arbitrary number. I guess a few have spent too much time obsessing over “foodies” tweets to the point where idle speculation often becomes gossip becomes reality/perception. Yahoo Sports hardly ever creates their own Sox-related content, all they do is repost articles 85% of the time from other sources...but if you are a fan of a specific team, you might notice that local articles from sites like NBCSportsChicago come up more frequently on the news scroll.

iWiN4PreP Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'd have np trading Crochet + Vaughn for Marquez and going out and signing a DH like Cruz or much more preferably Ozuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you’re buying Ozuna really high...if you look at his last five or six seasons, he hasn’t been tremendously consistent. Can we really afford to sink $15 million into a bat-first player?

It would be absolutely foolish to trade Vaughn for him. I’ll go as far to say there’s a decent chance that a Rodon (or similar signing) could perform as well as Marquez. He’s not nearly good enough to warrant trading Vaughn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
