DanofDuPage Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The Sox were interested in Joc Pederson in the Spring? A left handed bat. Can hit for power. Very hot and cold hitter. Can play the outfield. With the Northside coming back down to earth..... this might be the Left Handed power bat (cheap) that we need or can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Eloy and Robert are coming back, and they along with Engel, Hamilton, Vaughn and Sheets will have outfield covered just fine. Focus the trades on 2B and C. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanofDuPage Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 There was sure a lot of Joc Pederson love in this site last off season. A lot of need for a left handed power bat not long ago. Any better affordable options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrittBurnsFan Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I swear that is a name we have all read since he was in the minors that seemed destined to end up in the White Sox organization! Seems like time is running out if that is ever to happen...wouldn't rule it out but it sure wouldn't cost much to get him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 First of all, this thread should be in the Trade Winds section. Secondly, and this isn't a knock on Sheets and Burger as one or both might very well end up being good enough to contribute during the playoffs, but it would be irresponsible for the Sox to count on anyone who had never been on a major league roster as of June 28 to do so. Leury Garcia has a .921 OPS over the last 30 days. If for some reason no trade can be made for Escobar or Frazier or anybody else, I'm trusting Leury to be the starting 2B before I'm putting Burger at 3rd and Moncada at 2nd or vice versa. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) I don’t think we’re going to trade for a RF now. We’re set when Eloy and Robert come back. However, I think we will trade for a 2nd baseman and a couple relievers. Edited July 8, 2021 by maloney.adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but I'd ask him if he'd do it for the rest of the year. Next year when Madrigal returns and Moncada hopefully is healthy and gets his power back then he switches back.

Tnetennba Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Joc is hitting .132 and OPSing .445 over the past 2 weeks and rocking a -0.4 WAR on the season according to b-ref. Really seems to have cratered after a hot start. I certainly wouldn’t give up anything for him at this point. Maybe if he were cut loose but even then I don’t know what he does for this club.

The Sox don't have to do that. Escobar is available. Others may become available. Worst case scenario Leury Garcia mans 2nd and you get great defense and maybe even good offense. There are options A, B, C, and D before you get to something like putting Burger or Moncada at 2B. Stop treating option E like it's option A. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) They don’t need to make any blockbuster trades for any position players but I think they will trade for a really good setup man and someone that can pitch more than a couple innings.
