Timmy U Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Sox prices too high for O’s. No surprise there. Be interested to see what prospects go. Could be a salary dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 If I were an Orioles fan, I'd be livid if this is their big SP acquisition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I kind of like this guy. Wanted the Sox to sign him when he was a free agent really bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but as a Sox fan, I hope Getz doesn't cave in too much. They have to hit on these trades, or they are going to be bad for a long, long time.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 To be fair, the O’s could still trade for Crochet because they will need another starter for next year. I don’t think they will now with the extension news and this trade, but not completely impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I like Horvath, but these are more flyers than real solid pieces. Would not have been a good deal for Fedde 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a tough spot in that unless you are going to spend big at the top of the market, you cannot really afford to be trading away your best prospects I agree they need to add higher end pitching to really have a shot at a deep playoff run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue if you aren't going to spend, you need to trade guys for a cost controlled front of the rotation guy. Otherwise, its just hoping you get lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Elias will never have to worry about getting a Trader Mike or Mississippi River Boat Gambler moniker. He still has his Pokemon cards and is convinced he is sitting on a gold mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
