Squirmin' for Yermin Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 They certainly could get a 'quantity' deal done. They're just missing a top notch headliner. I wouldn't hate Outman, and Vargas being included in a deal either. You won't find them on prospect lists anymore as they've graduated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanut33tillman Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 I don’t love the way we’d match up with them in a deal for Crochet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 I would hope the Sox wouldn't deal all their chips to one team. Saw this (from June) and was like eh Quote Dodgers acquire CF Luis Robert Jr., LHP Garrett Crochet and RHP Michael Kopech from White Sox for RHP Nick Frasso, LHP Justin Wrobleski, RHP Kyle Hurt, RHP Payton Martin, C Dalton Rushing, OF Andy Pages and SS Emil Morales - The Athletic's Jim Bowden Expand 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my problem is that he really looks like this year was a bust, and a hard regression at the major league level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 (edited) I don't think the Dodgers really have the bullets to acquire both. One would require both Rushing and De Paula plus one of the near MLB ready arms ++, and I don't think I'd even like that.

GGajewski18 Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Dodgers don't have the pieces for Robert. Crochet would require Rushing and DePaula at minimum. I don't see it getting done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I would, unless maybe 5th or 6th pieces.. Outman: 33% ks; never was a top prospect. .516 OPS this year. His 4 WAR last year looks as phony as Lux' a couple of years ago. Pass. Vargas can't play a position. This would be a spare parts trade, and not the start to building a contender. I'd much rather a deep dive into their lower levels, carefully evaluating some of their international guys, etc. Edited July 18, 2024 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
