I suppose one can call it a rebuild but, notwithstanding the reduction to payroll (depending on who you find to replace TA), I actually feel it would improve the team in '23 and beyond. Its a big trade for both sides and I'd be shocked if the Dodgers would move Miller let alone both he and Pages, not to mention Outman. That said, I'd move TA, Gio and Hendricks in a nano-sec for that package because if they are 'half their team' (I get the figure of speech), the Sox as a whole will be awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree, but the sort of trade proposed is what I think a competent GM should be doing under the payroll constraints sent down from on high. I don’t believe this team as is, or with anything Hahn could pull off is a real contender. I’ve watched too much White Sox baseball to bank on another 2005 magically happening.

Sarava Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 This would be a very Kenny Williams-like move. Get a former star for pennies on the dollar when their value is smashed, and pray their former self returns (which it wouldn't in this case). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are getting to the point of considering any outsider with a pulse. More dumpster diving. The Dodgers have superior coaching and somehow the Sox would turn him around? Amazing how are conditioned to a failed value system. Over half of the games Sox scored 3 runs or less. So have cornered the market on stud LH NLers.

bmags Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Man it is astounding to realize that bellinger would have led our team in HRs last year off his bad year. I do think given the LH batter issue we kinda need to take shots like this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have plenty of interest from non-competing teams that could add him in hope of catching fire and flipping him mid-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing a lot of defensive value with some base running value gives Bellinger a decent floor even if the slash line is ugly. Even with the terrible OBP, he was still a 1.7 WAR player last year.
