Buehrle>Wood Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 11:48 AM) I hope the Jays start to surge so we face the Yankees in the play-in game instead. I like our chances with them much better than against the Jays. Then we better get sweeping this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:46 AM) Crazy to think that the Jays are only 1/2 game in front of the Sox right now, and they just emptied their system for Tulo and Price. Albeit, Tulo will be there beyond 2015, but still pretty wild, and quite a gamble considering they likely won't catch the Yanks either way and will be relying on a 1 game playoff, at best. Now if the Sox get a bat it definitely cannot be a rental. Just no sense in trading our prospects for anything but a good 2 way player.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 With the way these deals have been "completed" the past few day, not done til it's done. Bring it on Toronto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just no sense in trading our prospects for anything but a good 2 way player. The one thing that would under all circumstances piss me off is if we gave up legit talent for a rental. I have no desire for that this year. If we give up talent, it needs to be someone we have around for at least another year (preferably longer).

That's a good sign, overall I feel the price tags this deadline are cheaper than they should be. Hopefuly we can turn that into a bat for cheap as well.

Rowand44 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 That's still getting the Jays number 1 prospect + for 2 months of Price. A pretty good haul imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a point you're right but even insiders say they are shocked they got Price without including Alford (which is great news for us) but it's not just the price deal. You look at Cueto, Tulo, Hamels. I just wasn't wowed by the return by any of them. But anytime you give up your top prospect it's a lot to give up I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Chances are we would never Face Toronto in a one game playoff.. unless Houston or LA collapse. That trade does help Toronto quite a bit.... however even with that they have 3 bad starters and 2 good ones with a suspect bull pen (though their bullpen era atm is similar to ours). I commend them on their efforts... it might pay off but their pitching is still weak. There defense is also at the bottom of the league.
