DirtySox Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Bowden trade piece. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5553919/2024/06/11/mlb-trade-deadline-rumors-50-days-out/?source=user_shared_article Quote 6. The White Sox have no untouchables on their major-league roster. They’re willing to trade all of their best players including outfielders Luis Robert Jr., Eloy Jiménez and Tommy Pham as well as starters Garrett Crochet and Erick Fedde and reliever Michael Kopech. Bottom line: They’re going to have a fire sale and aim to add as many good prospects as they can and make as many trades as possible. Quote 15. The Phillies have been the National League’s best team but aren’t resting on their laurels. They’re looking to improve their overall outfield and have interest in Luis Robert Jr. and Tommy Pham. The Phillies and White Sox do match up well on a blockbuster-type deal. Robert is under team control through 2027 on a club-friendly deal. The Phillies are in on outfielder Jake McCarthy of the Diamondbacks as well. It’s believed they could also add a reliever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 If you are in talks with the Phillies on Robert it has to start with Aidan Miller, Painter, and Caba right? Abel's stuff backed up big time. I guess Justin Crawford could be in the mix as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nardiwashere Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Just looking at Phillies prospect list... I know nothing about him but I'd like a Gabriel Rincones type on this team for 1b/DH. Seems like he is a AA left handed power bat (can't field or run). Would he be the type of prospect we can get for Pham or is that too much (or too little)?

Has to be Painter, Miller and one of Caba/Crawford I'd think. I'd be disappointed we couldn't find a team with a bat headliner. I don't think anyone matches what you'd need to move Robert this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillies could put together a very strong offer with Miller and Painter as headliners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox should currently have all three options for OF needy teams — Robert, McCarthy, and Pham. Nice scouting fail there… Edited June 11 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Robert had a nice audition in front of the Mariners last night. Still holding out hope he leaves them starry-eyed enough after this series to pony up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4OCS Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I don’t see teams giving up as much as people are mentioning for a player as injury prone as Robert. Robert would be lucky just to make it to the trade deadline in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staying healthy is an important skill. I'm sick of injury prone players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox don't deserve him anyway. If he can’t stay healthy he will never put up Superstar numbers. That being said I still think they should build around Robert and Crochet and hoping that Robert can stay on the field.

Hope I'm wrong and they get a monster haul though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Vision Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Is it asking too much for the price to be Painter, Miller, and Caba from the Phillies? There's just so much team control left here with Robert. 3 1/2 years. If they hold on to him, they could still get a huge package for him next deadline, and probably still get a pretty big package for him at the 2026 deadline.
