If White Sox Obtain Yelich Could It Revive Manny Talks?

 I have heard the White Sox are trying to obtain Christian Yelich who just turned 26 years old, is left handed and would look great in CF for the Orioles. Could he be part of a trade with the Orioles and Sox involving Manny? DD is looking for a left handed bat for the OF.

Yelich has 5 years remaining on his contract with the Marlins. The White Sox may not want to pick up this contract. I think the Orioles would.

2018 - $7 million

2019 - $9,750,000

2020 - $12,500,000

2021 - $14 million

2022 - $15 million

Would we trade Manny to the Sox for Yelich + a pitcher? I think we all know the Sox will not keep Manny if they obtain him from the Orioles.  So they flip him.  Who cares besides PA?  Maybe he'll change his mind about worrying if he is going to be flipped if he knows he is getting another #1 player and All-Star.

Yelich is 6'3" inches tall and 195 lbs perfect for CF. OBP in 2016 .376 and in 2017 .369.  18 HR's and 81 RBI's in 2017 with 16 steals. 21 HR's and 98 RBI's in 2016.  BA .298 in 2016 and .282 in 2017.

370 putouts in CF in 2017 second most in NL.  1st in fielding percentage in CF 2017 NL .997.  Gold Glove 2014 in LF. Drafted in the first round by the Marlins in 2010.

5 years remaining on his contract for $58,250,000. Much less than what Manny wants if the rumors are true  -10 years for $300 million. This is another no brainer.  I doubt Jeter would trade Yelich to the Orioles. The White Sox have more top minor league players for Jeter to choose from in a trade. Both Chicago teams are still interested in obtaining Manny according to Chicago media.

Yelich has move value than Machado does.

Yeah, by quite a lot. Anyways, I really doubt the Sox would trade for Yelich and then Machado. That pretty much decimates the rebuild they've worked so hard to recreate and they're still miles from a good team.

I'd rather trade Gausman than Bundy.  Gausman and Hays for Yelich sounds like a deal the Sox would do.  Manny to Boston or the Cubs is the latest rumor. I've already floated possible trade ideas with both of these teams.  You build up the middle and you don't get much better than Yelich in CF. Team control for 5 years. We can get pitchers by other deals or free agency.

Yelich is a plus LF although his srm doesn't look strong to me.  I question whether he is even an average CF.

Also, the whole idea that they would get Yelich and then trade him for Machado anyone seems farfetched,  at best.

Fixed, and agree.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      If they were going to get rid of Fuller they should have done it a month and a half ago. The issues with our hitting were apparent the whole second half of the season. Maybe a firing or two would have sent a message to the players prior to their postseason fizzle. .

      What does Eflin and Jimenez signify? It was a very small addition to the payroll. John Angelos would have approved that, if he needed to approve anything at all.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      I'm not sure that's quite it.  Well, more importantly, I'm not sure that's quite it for me. I absolutely want to win more in the playoffs.  At this point there's no question that for me I'd live through some lousy seasons if it guaranteed a World Series trophy.  I'd give up a lot for that. But unfortunately it's the weird paradox, especially in baseball, where the games that mean so much in terms of perception actually mean very little.   Just look at some the threads posted on this board in recent weeks. "Do the Orioles need more experience"?  (studies have shown this is not the case) "Maybe they need a certain type of hitter/approach!" (no, studies have shown that's not it either) "They must need to build their bullpen a certain way." (nope) "Well you have to be playing well in September to have a chance in October!"  (very much not true) "It must be those nice white boys need somebody to be a jerk" (OK, no real way to quantify that one :)) The Astros must have the secret sauce, they went to the ALCS a lot of times in a row!  Oh, they lost in the 1st round this year. Study after study after study shows that there is no pattern.  There is no "right" way to do it.  There's no way to predict from year to year which teams will or will not go on the run. If for that crazy 8-9th inning on the day after the season the Mets may not have even made the playoffs.  Now they're the example of guys that can "get it done". It's not an excuse, and frankly it's not really my opinion.  It's reality. I do 100% agree with your last 2 sentences.  I don't know what we've done to so displease the baseball gods.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      It's definitely a possibility, but I wonder if there is actually something going on between Hyde and some players, would it be smart to bring his potential replacement in and subject him to the problem?    The fans, mostly here are the main source of BB being a manager. He's definitely had some MiL success so it's not unreasonable to assume he will be a manager someday.

      I think this is spot on in every way.  But I think the fanbase is somewhat divided on how important playoff success is. Put another way, for you, me, and a lot of folks, the playoffs mean a ton.  41 years with no championship or even a pennant is a real long time, and the narrative of the Orioles since 1983 has gotten extremely old. Even the narrative of this winless recent edition of the Os has gotten old. For other fans, the regular season means much more and winning/losing in the playoffs doesn't carry much weight because of the nature of the tournament.   There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of a team. But I can say that if you told me the next 10 years would involve 9 seasons where we lose 90+ games and 1 season where we win the World Series, I will gladly sign up for that.  I am definitely at that point where that title means everything to me and yes 29 teams go home without the ring each year, but 1 team does get it and that needs to be us. And if we get "lucky" like the Tigers on the path there, then bring it on! If the playoffs are a crapshoot, I am tired of that crapshoot rewarding everyone else.

      More than once Fredi displayed a lack of control that cost him his job.
