WhiteSox2023 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) Ironically, Paredes was a Cubs prospect to begin with but they traded him in 2017 with Jeimer Candelario and cash to the Detroit Tigers for Alex Avila and Justin Wilson. What a terrible trade that was. Edited July 28 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They acquired Pearson as a reclamation project that they may try to turn back into a starter. They also needed a 3B because Morel can’t play defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They now have a legitimate young 3B. Go take a look at what Morel’s putrid defense does to his overall WAR. Meanwhile, Paredes is a 4 WAR guy because he is good on offense and defense. It really isn’t close. Right now, Paredes is a much better player than Morel, and they are both 25. Edited July 28 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 This is a weird one for the Rays who don't usually love offense first guys. Arozarena was dumped partially for that reason. Must see something fixable on. one side of the ball or other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will figure out a way to unlock Morel's potential. On the surface it looks like a decent win-win type move, but Paredes savant is really quite something else.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 If this was straight up, I like the deal for the Cubs. If it was even Morel and two lower level prospects, I still like it. Bigge and Morel? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
