WhiteSox2023 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Dodgers 2B Gavin Lux, dangled in at least one deadline bid, seem like a trade candidate, especially with Mookie Betts moving to the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 2 hours ago, WhiteSox2023 said: And reality slaps Sox fans right in the face, cold and hard… Getz would be okay with a headliner that will turn 26 next season. Meanwhile, some posters wouldn’t trade Crochet straight up for what will be a 21 year old Jackson Holliday with true star potential. You know this is "pulled from his heinie" BS, right? Sean McAdam also said Tristan Casas could headline a trade for Crochet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 15 Author Share Posted November 15 I’m 90% optimistic that Getz will get a really good package for Crochet. The other 10% fears that Harold is Getz and we are going to do something really stupid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that the Phillies or someone like that are after Crochet and a market develops early. It is similarly possible that the Crochet market gets hung up by something like Sasaki. The Dodgers, for example, might really like Crochet, but they may also not want to pay a high price for Crochet if they think there's a good chance they land Sasaki. So, this could EASILY be Getz doing the same thing and trying to push a market to exist early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean McAdam also said Tristan Casas could headline a trade for Crochet. We heard all about how Cease was going to net a huge haul and how Fedde was going to net a top 100 prospect, as well as a lesser prospect or two. So far, Getz’s returns for his larger trades have been mediocre at best. I guess we shall see… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally want nothing to do with a dodgers trade for Crochet, we were already fleeced by them at the trade deadline.

(Or even not messing up already developed prospects.) if Zavala turns out to be a good player, is the Cease trade a 'good' trade? Sure wasn't the package I would've wanted, predicated on a pitcher who throws as slow as I do. I just don't think you can actually 'grade' this deal yet. It strikes me as difficult to judge any baseball trade in the moment unless it is for major league talent. The Dodgers obviously did something smart by acquiring Edman and Kopech even if Vargas turns into something. Was the Fedde deal a good one? I don't think so. Again though, the jury is out, though Vargas is arguably the worst MLB player I've ever watched play on a semi regular basis. But he was acquired for essentially nothing; the Fedde deal was smart, a move that no other team thought to make, I think you have to give Getz credit for that if you're going to critique what he was traded for. Why I actually opened this thread was to congratulate Crochet for winning Comeback Player of the Year! However, he's not really 'coming back' from anything. He's always been good, he's just finally healthy and was given an opportunity to start. He deserves some credit for his excellent season that nobody anticipated. I want to '#throw back thursday' to all those SoxTalk posters and facebook users who thought he sucked and wouldn't be able to start because "well look at the previous innings he pitched". pseudo-statistical 'projection'. it's meaningless. I'm sure MLB teams still 'project' players based on their three previous years' performance. meaningless and unhelpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lux makes absolutely zero sense for the Sox being a mediocre 2B with only 2 years of control left before he hits free agency, all while the Sox are pretty much guaranteed to suck. Which is probably why our awful GM will trade for him — because it makes no sense. Edited November 15 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
