So how do these types of trades work? Is there a PTBNL set of player names decided on between teams, and if Crain hits a performance benchmark...the Sox get to pick from the better of the two lists?

That's probably exactly what it will be, and I'd guess the benchmark relates to appearances.

Say it's an IP or appearance based return, what is to stop Tampa from just not using him intentionally to not get the number needed?

The Boston Red Sox.

 

And anyway, the White Sox were in a position to take the best offer. If the Rays included an unreasonable number of appearances or innings, the Sox could just look elsewhere.

I'd bet on some measuring metric being set up, such as days on the major league roster (not on DL) or appearance. Certain prospects are out there for different levels hit of the metric, with the best guy coming to the Sox if Crain hits the highest teir.

Usually everything is spelled out and often times the White Sox will have a list of players they can pick from if X, Y, or Z happens. Hopefully for all of our sakes, the info gets released early but usually teams try to keep quiet so those aren't dealt don't know they weren't in the trade.

With the highest tier bringing back 100 of Joe Maddon's pubes!

I wonder when/how the details will surface... Anyone familiar with such a deal in the past.

Like Chisoxfn said...the teams will probably really want to keep the details under wraps because they won't want A-ballers knowing that their name was on a list to be traded and having to deal with that for days/weeks at a time.

Not making the playoffs because they ran inferior players out there?

Right obviously, but can the include playoff IP in the deal or if the rays are up 5 games in the last week and he needs 3 IP to fetch the top tier player, can they "rest him until the playoffs" or ?

Before Jesse Crain was dealt, the White Sox had considered packaging him with Jake Peavy or other players. GM Rick Hahn being very creative.

Hopefully this means he has a taker for Peavy lined up.

I'd bet money that the metric to measure that with was the last hang up to finish this deal.
