BamaDoc Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 I looked at a lot of our flip/toss candidates. Pham, DeJong etc. lots of awful ops numbers over the last month or so. The losing streak and pre play has some .500 OPS numbers. Not sure you will get much. Looking more like a waiver claim or DFA which I wouldn't be against. Dump em and let some younger guys like Sosa know they have a long leash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pham has a 141 wRC+ against LHP. DeJong is a cheap depth option at spots where there aren’t a lot of other options. We won’t get much for either, but lottery tickets should be incoming.

I just want to see the smaller pieces traded soon. No one is getting desperate for Pham and overpaying at the deadline. Might as well move guys like him before you run out of potential trade partners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also getting concerned about Fedde since they went ahead and pitched him last night and already said they had no problem keeping him for next year. This is going to be one disappointing deadline.

I think there is zero chance Fedde is here. Teams are desperate for SP and he will 100% be moved by Tuesday. He’s a durable dude and I don’t think taking him off his schedule for a start three days before the deadline makes sense. I’d put Crochet being moved at 30%. I took his agency going to the media to be a full on deal killer, but I think you have to look at this a bit like the NBA where you have this unique talent (a legit ace) and now may be your only chance to land him. Whether we like their talent, the Dodgers still seem like a real option. Robert I’d put at like 10%. This recent cold streak (with an insane K rate) isn’t going to do us any favors in convincing another club to pay up like he’s a 5 win player. Personally, I think he’s both a bit checked out at the plate and suffering from a lack of protection (there is just no reason to given him hittable pitches with this crew of terrible). The talent is still there and I think his performance immediately ascends the second he is traded, but probably won’t happen until at next deadline at this pace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a roster full of terrible players that no other team wants besides Crochet, Robert, and Fedde. Why are people surprised that other GMs want nothing to do with the crappy players the Sox are trying to trade? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 23 minutes ago, The Beast said: I doubt that he’s right. Unless something starts happening soon, I agree. Trading 5 or 6 guys on the 25 man roster at the deadline isn’t practical for several reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJong and Pham were dealt last year and didn’t really bring anything back. Pham brought back a 16- year old lotto ticket but Pham was better last year than this year.

chitownsportsfan Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) The #WhiteSox are telling contenders in the AL Central “that they really would prefer not to trade within the division,” per @BNightengaleNightengale notes both the #MNTwins and #Guardians are among the teams interested in SP Erick Fedde.

2Deep Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1817642766534361276?t=mece_XBlU4r68kz7y1rT3w&s=19 Braves and White Sox have been in communication. Uncertain what the focus is but Luis Robert would surely fit ATL (if they were willing to spend — abd that’s a big if!) Crochet, Fedde, Pham also may be of interest to injury-depleted but still contending Braves Edited July 28 by 2Deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 4 hours ago, Whisox05 said: This may be outdated by Heyman already. I was told that the Sox actually had advanced discussions for Crochet before Thursday. Three teams that the Sox were talking to throughout the process flat out dropped out. One of the trades did have Benintendi attached, but couldn't be confirmed if the other one did as well. At least one team was still interested until Crochet was asked about it. The priority has been Crochet, Fedde and Kopech over the last week. The Sox will not give anyone away. The deals that I've heard for Robert would have folks here more pissed than the day JR opened his mouth about the Shohei stuff last year. One team has checked in on a Robert, Crochet deal since Friday. That's all I have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
