Why would they trade Cease for that package of players?  I know he’s having a down year but he just finished 2nd in Cy Young and has 2 years of control after this year.  We aren’t getting him for that mediocre group of players unless the White Sox are even dumber than I thought. 

Ok but what if we threw in Mateo too?

Not me …..but here’s one from BR

 

Honestly,, I’d try Stowers, Norby, Hall, and  Povich

 

not trading Kjerstad,  Mayo 

Mayo is a no-go for me.  I say I would rather keep Kjerstad over Cowser because I don't really think Cowser can play center and like Kjerstad's power and seeming ability to hit lefties and righties.  I am fine with hoping that Fabian or another comes around to be a 4th outfielder.

Lance Lynn just went to the Dodgers with Joe Kelly for Trayce Thompson, Nick Nastrini (LA's #9) and Jordan Leasure (RHP). 

Small digression from the thread but interesting to see what guys are going for. 

Looks like our equivalent of Povich, Aaron Hicks (Hicks is way better), and a random AA reliever.

I’d see if they would take Bemboom instead.

Whoa now let's not mortgage the future to win this year. Next you're going to tell me we should also include Vavra.

Too rich for me.  Westburg and Kjerstad for a guy with one good year?  Nope.

I'm watching the recorded MLB Central and he did a whole segment on the WhiteSox.  Says it's completely time for them to reimagine their team, starting with the acquisitions from the Angels (#2 and #3 prospects) for Giolito. 

• Started with a trade to the Giants of Vaughn and Anderson.
• Next up with Lance Lynn to the Reds for Hinds.

Ended up with this, saying to White Sox fans, "It's gonna hurt a little bit."  Says the Os are dying for a starter and this would do it. 

 

 

I'll riot if Elias makes this deal.

It could be like our very own Erik Bedard trade.......but on the flip side!

Or the Glenn Davis trade redux thirty years later.

He wasn’t good in 2021?

He’s been pretty good this year too.

Decent but certainly nothing earth shattering.

Giolito went for the #65 overall prospect (according to MLB.com) and a pitcher who's been described as having mid-rotation upside. Robertson went for two prospects who were 20th+ best in the Marlins system. The Dodgers get two starters for a non-Top 100 prospect.

Am I reading this right that teams aren't getting back a ton of value for veteran pitchers thus far?

This.  And it goes back yet again to not getting Bassitt or Eovaldi this offseason when it was just money.

[UMDTerrapins]

I assume we’ve taken Oakland’s temperature regarding Sears. I keep coming back to him as a lefty controllable option who won’t cost a ton. 

[Sydnor]

Keep your expectations low. It’s easier for the to be exceeded that way.
