poppysox Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 8 hours ago, tray said: The Sox had high expectations for Lucroy early in Spring but he looked like sh1t so they released him. I doubt they pick him up now unless it is for minor league depth. If the Cards fall back in their division they might make Yadi available. He still has what it takes for play-off baseball. Man would that be awesome. The Cards are 9 games back. Sox give up a B-level prospect for Molina. Good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cards fans are generally pretty baseball savvy, and I think they'd appreciate Yadi getting a chance at one more ring before he retires. He can always re-sign after the season and then retire as a Cardinal. Plus, the next worst thing for Cubs fans after the Cards winning the WS would be the Sox winning the WS, so the Cards should want to help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black jack Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Cheap rental only. Once the robot umps get here Collins will be fine at catcher. He can concentrate on simply receiving the pitch instead of trying to frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppysox Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 The White Sox traded both Aparicio and Fox...I imagine Molina isn't any more popular than they were with their respective fan bases. A good number of their fans would view it as being respectful of Yadi IMO. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) The notion that Cardinal fans or Cub fans or any fans decide who gets traded is absurd. I'm not sure why any true White Sox fan would not want Yadi for the stretch run instead of Collins and Zavala...if Yaz cannot come back and catch. Yadi is a gamer and a winner. You have to know Tony would want him *if* Yaz can't come back. Edited July 19, 2021 by tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Rational or not, I think St. Louis wants Yadi to be a lifelong Cardinal and not play for anyone else. by St. Louis I mean the organization Edited July 19, 2021 by Leonard Zelig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 yadi aint happening. this would be like us trading abreu or paulie .... but times 2 when we're at .500 in a retirement year for those guys. st. louis stands to make more money on ticket sales of people who come to watch his last tour than care about getting a zack burdi in return. i dont care how smart the fans are, theres just no upside to trading him. the only only way it happens is the larussa connection. id put it at 5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 also for those of you that haven't been to a cardinals game ... yadi owns that town. he's easily the fan favorite there. walks on water. his cheers are more than arenado and goldy combined. its hard to explain the love, but he's not going to be a sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the day I heard Harold Baines was traded to Texas...it was heart-breaking! Of course, Larry Himes "fleeced" Texas in that deal and no way Yadi is worth 2 prospects like the White Sox hauled in for Baines. But I do get your sentiment...it stings the fans a bit when those types of situations happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 If Yadi asks for a trade to the sox that's basically the scenario where it happens. But would love to see how it's handled. Grandal would be forced into DH, Eloy into LF because Yadi isn't sitting in the playoffs with TLR as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 10/5 guy on top of a Cardinals legend. The ONLY way he goes anywhere is if he tells the organization to trade him. I haven't seen anything indicating he even wants to leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Per Robert Murray: Quote The Chicago White Sox are looking for another catcher and it would not be a surprise if they expressed interest in Jonathan Lucroy after he was designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves. Lucroy, after all, was with the White Sox earlier this season, with pitcher Dallas Keuchel saying in March, “He has transitioned into one of the best receivers I’ve had the last four or five years. So that is a testament to his work ethic. I feel really, really confident with him behind the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
