Don't think Harper was suggested he would have been the same as Trout. I said no on Stanton until I saw how he recovered from the HBP...I said no on Bryant because where was he going to play, this was when he was a 3B. Let's not muddy this thread...just go back and read the Hoffman...all the craziness is in there lol
I said I wouldn't for an offensive player not named Trout. We needed pitching badly last season. Great pitching wins games for the most part. You have to build a TEAM, not just hope you can win 10-9 every game.
I could see the White Sox asking for him, just not realistic though, I think. As a 1 for 1 the value isn't even close to equal imo. Would be interesting if we could get him for prospects though...how many contending teams are looking for a 1B/DH?
Not even close. We are talking about a .260 hitter with like 7 HRs at this moment. I'd say Connor Greene, Tellez, and maybe a low level OF prospect. Abreu would cost more than most cause of control but nothing at all close to Sanchez or Stroman
I saw on mlbtraderumors that the White Sox are willing to trade their veteran hitters including Eaton and Abreu. If we can't get a SP due to price would trading for Abreu be possible. It would be a huge upgrade at 1B over Smoak imo and Abreu hitting in our lineup would make him 10 times better as well. He has had a kind of down year, so I think he would cost a lot less than a SP and he is controlled through 2019 I think. Would this be a possible trade target if we can't get a SP?
