How has Andrew Vaughn escaped trade speculation ?

Probably because no team has any interest in this guy but maybe he should be dangled out on the trade market by Getz given his emphasis on speed and defense. Vaughn clogging up the bases with a single or getting tagged out trying to stretch a base hit into a double makes no sense with the new Go-Go Sox. Vaughn has alligator arms at 1B and very little range on defense. He doesn't make sense as a DH because of his splits and again, his lack of speed on the bases.  The Cubs among other teams might be interested.

Because his offensive upside is worth far more to the Sox than whatever he’d return via trade. It’s really that simple. AV is the exact type of guy the Sox should be giving plate appearances to in a lost season because if he turns in a  .280/.340/.460 type season (which I would imagine he’s capable of), he’s a pretty decent piece for 25-26.

White Sox still trying to set a record for lowest ROI on three Top 5 picks in Madrigal Vaughn and Rodon.

I think Madrigal's top 5 in MLB WAR for that 1st round. He's certainly logged more bWAR than the 3 guys chosen before him.

Yeah and Kolek/Aiken taken before Rodon the same.

That said...speaking of first rounders, till struggling to embrace the Burger trade months later.

He'll be traded the day the Sox announce their brand new stadium that everyone will be overjoyed about in the South Loop. Happy?
