Princess Dye Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The reason to trade Peavy is to get prospects-- not to soothe the fans and give them some emotional reward If you're not getting good prospects, then you dont deal him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 10:25 PM) If Hahn doesn't get a package of players he thinks is worth it, he is a good player to build a staff around. I think it's a ploy to up the bidding. But if not he can still trade Q, Santiago or Peavy over the winter. Or someone miraculously claims Danks and we dump him /prayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 The White Sox may well be trying to apply more leverage in the Peavy talks by saying they're holding him, before making a move... We'll see. -- OLNEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Early today: Peavy says he's leaving Sox Mid-day: Peavy says he could have another Sox start 4pm: Sox leak that they could keep him thru the deadline So it's basically the Sox not getting the ideal offer and deciding they want to win the rumor mill for the day and go to sleep tonight making the suitors nervous.

So when Buster Olney says the Sox are building around Peavy, I have to call BS--or the Sox are idiots. I disagree. The goal is to make the sox a better team. Peavy is an above average starting pitcher. That is worth alot. If the players you are being offered don't make the team that much better, don't do it.

When there are multiple teams offering proposals, you take the best one. It's just too risky to hang on to Peavy. In my opinion, his value can't get much higher. Do it now.
