White Sox 2024 Trade Deadline Talk

[richig07]

It's about that time. There isn't a worthwhile name on this team that hasn't been floated around the rumor mill as having interest from one team or multiple teams.

Who do you think goes? Who do you want to go? What do we think we could get in return?

Crochet
Fedde
Robert
Pham
Dejong
Kopech

These are the names that spring to mind immediately which could warrant legitimate interest. Of course, when it comes to Crochet/Robert. There will be mixed opinions from the fan base on what we should do. I personally think if we can get a worthwhile, that we should pull the trigger. No one is out of bounds. Not Robert. Not Crochet.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Those six you bring up are the most likely candidates for trade bait. Sadly, the one I'd want least to be traded, Crochet, would likely bring us the best prospect capital, with Robert close behind. Crochet has two years of contract-friendly arbitration, whereas Robert actually has three years tied to us, altho only 2025 guaranteed, as '26 & '27 are Sox options at $20m per. The others aren't going to fetch much.

To me, Crochet can be the foundation piece for the newly rebuilt White Sox, which is why I'd hate to see him go. But I have to concede that if Getz can land some high end prospects, it's understandable why they'd trade him. To a lesser extent, Robert as well. Actually, if he would have proven to remain consistently healthy, he would easily fetch the most quality prospects. But he hasn't been, plus this has been a down year for him to date.

Here are a few more names to add:

Jimenez
Sheets
Flexen
Brebbia
Moncada - altho due to his current injury status, he's more likely to be dumped in the offseason, being next year is a Sox option at $25m. No way do I see them picking that up at all.

Jimenez is pretty much in the same boat as Moncada, where the Sox have two more option years, altho at a more reasonable rate of $16.5m for '25 and $18.5m for '26. Again, like Moncada or perhaps even more so, Jimenez is a walking injury list. Dude just can't stay healthy.

looking from the pov of a buyer-in-need, fedde would be the guy i'd want. he's at the top of his game and he'd be relatively cheap cause of his age.
crochet would cost too much (not that someone wouldn't over-pay to get him) and i'd have no interest in anyone else on this team including robert (unless i could get him REAL cheap).
truth is this team has nothing much to offer anyone. any shit they would get in return wouldn't be any better than what they've got. don't forget, the sox have no clue how to draft, trade or develop. until this asshole owner sells or dies this team will remain among the worst in the game. and you KNOW it!

 

[idseer]

if i see a glimmer anywhere ... it's in the starting pitching.
crochet of course, thorpe, cannon and of course fedde (tho i expect him to be gone soon) all look like big leaguers.
the rest is mostly chaff.

 

[Jiddy]

At this point, I'm fairly certain that none of Crochet, Moncada, Eloy will be on our roster next season. Crochet is gone before the end of the month, which is sad and stupid...but it is what it is...No way we take options on the other two, so trading, if possible, isn't a bad idea. Doubt we'd get much though.

Pham, Fedde, Dejong are all gone for obvious reasons. No need to keep guys over 30+ years of age on this team. Let the young guys play going forward. Still baffled we're playing guys like that THIS season. If we get anything of value for them, trade away.

That just leaves question marks on Robert, Kopech for me. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Would there be any team willing to do this?

Could Luis Robert, Garrett Crochet be dealt together? MLB insider says it's possible

Trade rumors will continue swirling around the Chicago White Sox for the next nine days, but there is at least a possibility that two of the team’s biggest trade chips could be bundled in the same deal.

They mention the Dodgers, which might be the only team out there that could pull this off - in fact Kopech is even thrown into the mix. However, I think it's more likely that each player will be traded separately in order to reap the maximum benefits. I've already stated that I feel Crochet is worth retaining and serving as the foundation for (yet another) rebuilt White Sox team. But if Getz is hellbent on trading him, then he better acquire one helluva package in return.

 

[Jiddy]

I'm surprised we haven't made a move yet. They must really be holding out for top return on the trades.

grifol can't make up his mind.

There's still a week left, perhaps Getz is holding out to see if more teams want into the trade mix or for those already in it, he's trying to play one against the other to get max value in return. Or so I hope.

 

[Bearsfan81]

Doesn’t seem like a blockbuster is going to happen at this point. Teams seem spooked by Crochet’s ability to remain a starter down the stretch this year - he might be better served being moved in the offseason. I don’t see Robert getting the high asking price Getz was linked to earlier in the season.

Hope we can still get good value out of Fedde/Pham.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

The White Sox have become the broken record of baseball. "The Sox lose again, the Sox lose again, the Sox lose again, the Sox lose again........"

 

[Jiddy]

Trade deadline coming up...Should be an interesting week.

Well, at least off the field...

Sad week if we move Crochet or Robert. Also I’d personally like to keep Vaughn. Outside of them, we should be wheelin and dealin.

 

[Jiddy]

Pham/Fedde/Kopech traded for prospects.

Good riddance to Kopech.

Never will be...at least for us...

 

[podsox]

TLR handing the cardinals a couple pieces

it appears, if it goes through, the sox got nothing for them. all very low level prospects. fedde should have been worth more imo.
color me unsurprised.

At least Fedde picked a great time to have the comeback season that he's had to date. Altho not as talented as Crochet of course, but it can be argued that he was the most consistent member of the rotation. His season helped nab us some prospects. Agree about Kopech, he's just never been the same since returning from injury.

Yeah, people are upset we "didn't get enough." My opinion? That we got anything for Kopech and 2 guys that anybody could have outbid us for in FA a few months ago is a win imo. It's all perspective. Pham is a d-bag...Kopech is terrible...Fedde is a guy that we signed for 2/15 in December. Let's not act like this is a treasure hoard. None of these 3 players is that substantial.

It will be Crochet and, to a lesser degree, Robert, that will hurt if traded. This trade is whatever.

Borderline all star pitcher with a yr and half left on his deal for extremely cheap gets you this haul is trash. I don’t even care about the other 2 guys. The padres just gave up their top prospect for a reliever

Fedde is pitching way above his level...in a situation that is as close to "no pressure" that there can be for an MLB player. His value is determined by the culmination of his history with a slight adjustment upward for recent events. No way he was going to bring back a top prospect.
