So now we’re just giving him war to justify not liking the trade?

Big deal, he’s at 1.9 thanks to a totally unsustainable run with us. It’s ok to believe in that but already give up on a prospect. Sounds right. 

There’s a good chance Eder doesn’t even get 3 WAR in his entire career, that’s not “giving up” it’s just facts

You cannot trade a 2.5-3.0 WAR player for a single minor league pitcher. The bust rate is way too high for that. We quite literally picked up pitchers off the scrap heap that were better prospects at one point than Eder will ever be. Eder could be a rule 5  victim by this time next year.

And an every day position player with 30+ home runs a season, with team control thru 2028.

Kenny's parting gift to the fans. Eder has an 11.42 ERA. 17 innings, 27 hits, 15 walks. You know he's pouting about being traded to the Sox.

He's gonna fit right in around here when they have to bring him up to save face. The good Jake is hitting .313 5Hrs, 15 ribbies. In the majors.

God I miss his bat and smiling face.

Burger up to 30 hrs and 67 rbis. He would have the 2nd best WAR on the sox by a mile. And the fans loved him. This trade made no sense when you hold onto moncada.

Elvis Andrus is actually 3rd, lol.

Grandal, Sosa, Sheets, Anderson and Colas (-1.0) all firmly in negative territory.

Seby was actually at 0.0.

 the Marlins should  jump at the chance to trade Burger for Moncada. By the logic that was argued this season on Soxtalk.

I don't think there is anyone who would rather have Moncada over Burger. The problem with this scenario is the White Sox are stuck with Moncada for a minimum of one more season and their boneheaded roster construction left them with only Burger as a realistic trade option.

This idea that the White Sox are going to move on from Moncada seems to be pretty wishful thinking to me. They aren't going to cut him. No one is going to trade for him and just take on his salary. Were stuck with this guy for at least another season unless he is traded for a salary swap and those options are probably pretty slim.

They  got nothing in return for Burger, just like they got nothing in return for Tatis Jr and Madrigal.  Wouldn't this team look better if those 3 hadn't been traded? The Cubs released Jason Heyward this past off season and ate his $20 million contract. The White Sox should have released Moncada and eaten his contract  and kept Burger on the team.

What you are saying should happen is not something that the owner of the White Sox would ever allow to happen.

Merkin weighs in on the Burger trade:

"Jake Burger has reached 30 home runs, 25 coming with the White Sox. And I don’t understand why he ever was traded from Chicago to the Marlins.

That belief is completely independent of the talent possessed by Jake Eder, the left-handed pitcher the White Sox received in return. Eder already is ranked as the No. 5 White Sox prospect and might turn out to be a frontline starting pitcher.

Burger still shouldn’t have been traded. People were quick to quote his swing-and-miss rate and his lack of walks, but the 2023 season was the first in which Burger received more than 185 plate appearances. His overall offensive ability remains untapped.

There’s been a great deal of talk about leadership in relationship to this White Sox team, and Burger is a leader. It was pretty evident from the overall clubhouse disappointment after he was traded.

He showed the ability to learn and adjust, which he has really been applying since missing three years of baseball due to injury. He also was willing to work at every challenge the White Sox gave him: third, first, second. If they wanted him at catcher, he would have done early work behind the plate. He wanted to win and wanted to win with the White Sox.

Most of all, he had the ability to change games with one swing, which is missing from this lineup, aside from Luis Robert Jr."

The biggest defense is Eder became the #5 prospect because the system was bottom of the barrel at the time of the trade.

Other organizations he wouldn't even be Top Ten with a future reliever profile tag more likely than not attached.

Ofc Merkin was much closer to Hahn pwrsonally so it's coming off as sour grapes that KW dumped him and Hahn didn't have the power or persuasiveness to prevent it.

KABOOM! Burger with another PISS ROCKET! ? ? ? 

 

It's like he feeds on wrong factually wrong Soxtalk posts.

Some here said he was a microcosm of all that is wrong with this team.  In reality he was what little was right with this team.

Did anybody ever use the word microcosm before Howard Cosell?
