If White Sox Obtain Yelich Could It Revive Manny Talks?

[section18]

 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.

Would we trade him even up to the Sox for Yelich? The Sox always seem to come up with good defensive OF's. They would value a 3B or SS higher in my opinion.

5 years of a guy signed way way under market value and who was put up 4.5fWAR in 3 of his last 4 season vs 1 year of Manny. The difference in value is significant.

Like others have already stated, Yelich has much more value than one year of Manny, plus even if they had similar values, why would a team that isn’t quite ready to compete in 2018 trade a guy with a lot of control for someone with only year.

[Babypowder]

Bundy and Hays maybe? That might do it.

[section18]

 

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.

That would be instead of the Machado trade.

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.
