Bob Sacamano Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 04:52 PM) They have like 7 outfielders now. How are they going to be able to play them all? Doesn't mean they have to move Reddick for a mediocre deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 04:32 PM) Meh. I disagree. Shuck is nothing but a 4th outfielder, Sanchez is essentially Semien 2.0 with better defense and a worse bat, and Danish struggled mightily in AA last year. I wouldn't be sad to see any of them leave to be honest. If you were Oakland, would you take that package for Reddick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the trade chip they should use it he has value. Not a lot of projection for him to be a starter. He's my pick for this year's Hawkins where he goes from top ten to not ranked in the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's have no need for him. They have Davis and Reddick on the corners. It would make sense if they get back a better player than who they gave up. I do wonder if Cubs had to rush trade in order to sign Fowler today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It randomly broke an hour or so before the Fowler news broke and it was a real head scratcher at the time. With Orioles breathing down Fowlers back it made sense to put the contract in ink while they could and not worry about Coughlin's return.

From the A's perspective? That's easy. Why not? Doesn't seem like they gave up anything of value. Basically got a quality mlb player for next to nothing. Even if it is a big position of strength for them, why not do that deal? Cubs perspective is more confusing, but as has been stated, timing probably forced them.

He puts down everyone in the deal and then expects someone else to want it lol Oakland isn't going to compete this year and "should" be rebuilding, so they might see appeal in Sanchez and Danish just because of their youth and the fact that they're cost controlled for a long time. I don't really know though, I'm just spitballing and thinking aloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
