mac9001 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 From the dodgers perspective, if they just nicely asked I'm sure the Cards would have been happy to just let Edman walk and the Sox would have equally been happy to at least let the Dodgers pay for Kopech coach seat. There's 3 guys in this deal that have zero to marginal value. So how the dodgers are getting two of them but actually gave up anything of value is somewhat perplexing.

Tnetennba Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 4 minutes ago, Timmy U said: Serious question: is Vargas actually any better than Sosa and Colas? Sosa certainly has had a lot of non-PCL AAA success and at least Colad hits the ball hard. Plus, Vargas is the worse defender of the 3. For those down on Sosa’s D, just wait. Other than having prospect shine coming from the Dodgers system, I honestly can't squint and see much of a difference. 4 minutes ago, Timmy U said: He’s a dh. Maybe try hiding him at first when they non-tender Vaughn? This is a catastrophe. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Have we tried Benitendi at catcher yet, like TA? I found a positive! I believe we may have secured the #1 pick in the 2026 draft. JR won't spend after a year of horrible revenue so not a lot of adds beyond scrap heap. Seriously, we should sign no one until prices drop in Feb-March with promise of "if you play well we will trade you". Mottos "Yes, we are this bad" "Think we couldn't be worse, think again!" "Bad teams deserve new stadiums". Promotions: "What game does (insert player) go on the IL" Prize: we lose your season ticket renewal Spin theWheel Fund raiser: Depending on your donation, Does Getz get fired? chance goes up. Manager for a day. That's right you lucky fan. If your name is picked, you get to be in charge for a day. Both fans in attendance will be eligible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) It's kind of weird that the Dodgers didn't just trade for Fedde to either use or flip him instead of taking on Edman and his salary for this year and next ha Edited July 29 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... I remember saying the Fedde return would NOT be what folks expected, little did we know that Pham and Kopech would be thrown in with it. What a joke. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Again maybe the most positive person on this trade, but a negative reaction I have as someone who reads white Sox tea leaves is a belief in the guys they acquired that approach cannot be learned, it is innate. And anyway they need to fire everybody who has looked at a position player in this org and start over. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I still think this is one legit prospect light. God I hope all of the media are running of the same source or two and there is a name still missing and its missing for some legit reason (like Sox are looking at 2 or 3 players on a list and need to finalize something on that before it becomes official and name gets added).

SoxBlanco Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Let’s say Fedde and Vargas weren’t in this trade. How would everyone feel about Kopech and Pham for Perez and Albertus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
