ChiSoxFanMike Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I’d still trade either of Burger or Sheets, but not for a rental. Has to be someone with more team control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really do not like the idea of trading Burger or Sheets for a rental A few months of Escobar should not end up being all that costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger or Sheets would be included in a Gallo or possibly Kimbrel type of deal, most likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a broken record since early 2020, but Gallo is absolutely ideal for this team. I love Gallo and would love to have him go off on the White Sox so I can use him in MLB The Show diamond dynasty for the next 10+ years.

Both Sheets and Burger have been great so far, but it is very possible that this is their “Yermin Mercedes April 2021” period. I hope I’m wrong on that, but selling high on one or both of them might not be the worst idea if they can net the Sox a proven impact player.

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 One of Sheets or Burger should be traded if we get good value for them. Theres not exactly room for them. I cant imagine Sheets value will ever be higher. .824 OPS in AAA but now a .966 ops in MLB. Limited numbers on both, but if there's a buyer on him, trade him.

He will absolutely be exposed in the playoffs if he's put in the lineup every day. 2021 splits Teams over .500: .188/.274/.238 Teams under .500: .301/.364/.441 High Leverage: .191/.273/.213 Med Leverage: .187/.271/.333 Low Leverage: .320/.385/.426 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he’s terrible against good teams but mashes against bad teams. Good recipe for success in the playoffs right there. Lol I don’t think any of the big writers know who the Sox are going to acquire so they are just throwing out names right now.

They could both be guys, but I don't think their minor league numbers so far really show that they are THIS good. I think Burger has a better chance just because he can play some defensive positions, but I think both are probably here to be shown off to the rest of MLB.

bmags Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Said to myself "hey maybe yankees would just dump an underperforming lemahieu for salary relief" not realizing they'd signed him for SIX YEARS lol oh man, my favorite thing about the yankees that Cashman is forced to deal with is the clear expectation that he's not ever allowed to let a player leave.

ChiSox59 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I’d love to upgrade on Leury and put him back in the role he should be in. But let’s not act like the dude hasn’t answered the bell. He’s been phenomenal since Nicky got hurt. A+. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are darned right he has. He should be the super utility guy, instead he has basically been a starter due to injuries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let’s not act like the dude hasn’t answered the bell. He’s been phenomenal since Nicky got hurt. A+. I don't know if I'd go so far as A+, but he's been much better than expected. The problem is that Leury's best feature is that he can play every position, and if he has to play 2B every day then he can't do that. The other problem is that when Leury is the staring 2B, your backup SS is Mendick, who really shouldn't be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a TON of posturing that goes on during this period. Why do you think White Sox outlets are writing articles about how Eloy and Robert can be the Sox deadline acquisitions?
