GGajewski18 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Topic says it all. If Sox win the next 2, or just decide to buy, who will they be linked to first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Josh Reddick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Phil Rogers a couple days ago mentioned CWS and CarGo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I actually think most realistic on the list is probably someone like Upton (where Sox aren't adding any long-term contracts). It would be more costly in terms of talent given up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 04:06 PM) Josh Reddick. I wanted Reddick 2 years ago in a thread called something like Projected 2014 lineup . But Carlos Gomez who's also not on the proposed list would be great too. So I didn't vote for any of the options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 What kind of return would Reddick demand? He seems like a perfect fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he's playing in Oakland so the cost will surely be high. I think they would want Montas as part of the package. I wonder if Avi, Micah and Montas would be enough. Lol, probably not.

This dates back to the infamous Chad Bradford Moneyball trade, although Olivo turned into Garcia eventually. Foulke/Mark Johnson/Joe Valentine for Koch/Cotts (eventually contributed in 2005). Swisher fiasco for Gio/Sweeney/DeLosSantos. Sanburn hasn't exactly lit the world on fire, although it's Adam Dunn we're talking about. Ray Durham for Adkins was one of the five worst of KW's regime.

For me personally, I did not like sending them Bassitt and Ravelo for Samardzija. I admit I am high on those two players but cannot do anything about it now.

cabiness42 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm going with pierzynski I don't know if there are lingering personality issues from when he was here before, but otherwise he would be a good fit and wouldn't cost much to get.

GGajewski18 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Now that you guys mention it, I would love Josh Reddick as well. Shouldn't be as expensive as CarGo and we have good relations with Oakland/Beane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be as expensive as CarGo and we have good relations with Oakland/Beane. Heck yeah. Reddick would give the Sox some pop from the left side, play solid defense, hits for a good average and does not strike out much. I'm really hoping a trade for Reddick happens.

Even if the Sox don't make the playoffs they still have Reddick for the 2016 season to help make another playoff push. Plus the Sox can look to extend him and keep him in RF for years to come. Reddick is a guy that could be apart of the future or "core player" as the Sox FO like to call it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
