The Sox gave up a #2 starting pitcher on a $7.5 million salary.  That's big.

And salary relief was a thing. He has to sell the team, or at least give up his control of everything. He can't make it better.

Let’s say Fedde and Vargas weren’t in this trade. How would everyone feel about Kopech and Pham for Perez and Albertus?

Not excited, but passable since Pham probably had basically no value.  But Fedde for Vargas feel a really good prospect light.

Tough to argue with that. But if that’s how we are going to evaluate a trade, then what are we even doing here? Nobody we get in a return will work out.

My point being, the Dodgers couldn't get him to hit, so the White Sox won't either. I think we have way too much proof of that.

Yeah, I said something similar in my next post after the one you quoted.

Fedde is on pace for a 4.0 fWAR at $7.5 million this year and next. And the Sox get nothing to be halfway excited about. Getz one good move, signing Fedde, and one decent one, signing Pham, he blows in one trade.

Still sounds like a s%*# trade. I say that as the biggest Kopech hater here. If he's just going to net you a single 19 year old litto ticket, well, he should be able to get that for you a year from now. 0 compensation for the time premium, don't do the trade.

People really need to believe me when I say the Sox are totally screwed financially

fWAR?  Whats the mans batting average.  David Eckstein never worried about his fWAR?
