Only way you make this deal now is if the spect is an absolute stud. And given that we haven't heard his name yet, I highly doubt that.

Mark Teahen is an inverse stud weighing down the value of Jackson.

 

If Jackson = Frasor + very good prospect OR Jackson = Frasor + Teahen's deal off the books + halfway decent prospect, then I'll take that second deal 7 days per week. It's much, much, much easier to buy a prospect that BA will slurp all over than it is to dump a terrible contract.

You do realize Edwin Jackson is most likely a 2 month rental or will cost a ton next year, and while ultra talented his performance has been far from consistent. You really don't know what you would be getting. You may get 2 months of Cy Young calibur pitching or 5th starter numbers, if that. Teams are going away from giving top prospects for those types anymore. Look at the crap Cleveland got for CC, a far surer bet.

His ERA with the White Sox over the past year has been very respectable.

 

I'm not saying we're going to get Grady Sizemore and Cliff Lee, but I would think we would do better than a salary dump 5 full days before the deadline.

So we have a manager that is incapable of using a bullpen properly and we gave him another body. Can't wait for the first 8 th inning pressure situation when ozzie leaves frasor warming up while he let's brunet or oh anger those stressful outs. The only thing more irresponsible would be adding another slappy guy to guillens arsenal.

You (and others) are right that this trade doesn't make sense. But, these are the White Sox we're talking about! I could see Kenny doing this. He would rationalize it by saying it's a win now move that saves money.

Well, De Aza is on the way . . .

It would be absolutely foolish to waste Jackson's value (or at least what I believe to be his value right now) to shed Teahen's salary. Foolish foolish foolish.

 

Teahen is owed about $10 million over the next two years. Truly a waste of money indeed.

 

But certainly not enough to miss an opportunity to get a very good prospect out of Jackson due to the pitching market.

Even if you like to buy into the Sox being dumb, how does this benefit Toronto?

They're in on Ubaldo, and maybe have decided they can't get him and would rather go after Edwin and take their chances they can sign him long term. Or maybe they think they can turn Edwin into Ubaldo (although I admit that scenario is not likely).

They're obsessed with getting Jimenez. Maybe they know they can get more parts by turning around and trading Jackson then they could of with Frasor?

It only makes sense if Anthopoulos is able to flip EJ for something desirable. I wouldn't put it past him though, he's made some shrewd moves since taking over.

So then we would only be trading the two to Toronto because they would be willing to take on Teahen's salary in order to get back a much better prospect from Colorado because the Rockies cannot afford to take Teahen's salary from us.

 

If the $10 million owed to Teahen over the next few years is that much of a noose around our necks right now, then I really fear this impending roster turnover.

Well Im not seeing anyone else even mentioning a rumor like this, so if the trade is leaking youd think someone else would be reporting.

 

Itll be midnight soon and the Sox have a game in the afternoon, just doesnt seem likely that this isnt being reported yet if its done.

And how does adding $5 million a year for the next two years in a guy who won't play help them?

 

That lineup is extremely heavy with righties, and they've had miserable production from third base this year. Also, they'd be willing to take on that 5 million if it means securing Jimenez down the road.

Assuming this is true . . .

 

So it's a good trade for KW because it dumps Teahen's salary yet the Teahen extension was a tremendous f***up on KW's behalf that next to no one thought was a good idea at the time? I love how KW makes bad trades to cover up for bad trades, that's been his MO over the past few years. So 6 years of Dan Hudson for a season's worth of good production from Jackson (which won us nothing), 2 months of Frasor, a probable mediocre prospect and maybe Type B compensation. Must we give away good starting pitching in every f***ing trade? Go over budget spending a s*** ton of money on players who don't produce so then you're apparently forced to dump good starting pitching for a reliever, a prospect that I assume will be mediocre and a supp. pick in a god damn seller's market because your team sucks and thus attendance is s*** and you need to start slashing payroll.

 

I pray the prospect is good but I don't see why Toronto would throw in a minor leaguer that's worth a damn, it makes no sense.

It won't be a quality prospect. It sounds like a salary dump and eventual Type B compensation.

Come on...$10 million isn't going to force us to make this mistake.

Maybe its a 3 way trade.

 

That was my first thought when I saw the thread.

 

According to the Rasmus story in the Post Dispatch last week, the Sox and Cards may need a 3rd team to get a deal done because the Sox did not have the prospect(s) the Cards were looking for.

The draft pick we get is worthless to our team. We would need to go overslot to get anything of value. So in the end Daniel hudson + 1 nets us a Mac conference reliever next year.

It's not just Teahen. It's Dunn, Rios, and Peavy too. If we rebuild next year then those guys are going to be taking up a whole lot of what JR is going to greenlight. And even now, those guys aren't going anywhere, so the money has to come from somewhere if we need to add another high salary guy. I mean, who else can we trade that makes money and doesn't turn us into a pure seller?

 

Also, I'm not sure we would get a player for Edwin that the board here would think is worth it. We'd probably get a couple guys who are far away and can't help right now. Getting Frasor to help now, plus the possible comp, plus dumping Teahen, plus a prospect? In my eyes this is a great move, especially if there is another one coming.

 

I hate losing the SP depth and that could really, really hurt us, although we definitely need the other arm in the pen. And no matter what, our offense is going to have to get us into the playoffs since the pitching is already doing its job, and this move does not detract from the offense. I like it if true.
