That's too much to give up for Lucroy.

That'd be a great trade for Rizzo. A terrible catcher, a guy that might be a #5, and an OF who's not going to start anyways

Clearing some of the underbrush, you have Arroyo lined up as a likely starter until little Gio or Cole is ready, you have the option of using den Dekker as the back up CF, and Moore can be the back up righty corner outfielder unless you sign something better on a minor league contract with a spring invite.  Every piece in that deal has flaws, so there's always the possibility one side or the other will be laughing at the deal, but if Lucroy is healthy enough to catch, then that is a nice deal.  If he isn't, then it is Lobaton / Severino time.

Agree.  I would definitely make that move.  No guarantee Roark gets back to 2014 form with a full-time rotation job.  This plus signing Gallardo would be a sneaky good move for Rizzo.  Losing Taylor as the 4th OF would be the hardest part of that deal to live with but it's still a 4th OF, 5th Pitcher, and inferior catcher for a catcher with All Star potential.  Think you'd have to be crazy not to make that deal.

Giolito would be on my no-trade list.  Team control clock hasn't even started yet and won't until he's in the majors and his stuff is absolutely electric.  His fastball is rated an 80.  On a scale that goes up to... 80.  Wouldn't let any other team touch an asset like that.

Sale, Robertson

Draft Will Craig, he'll play 1st with Zimmerman moving to DH in 2018


Sign Lourdes Gurriel Jr, he'll take over SS in 2017 w/ Turner moving to 2nd

Robles will replace Revere in 2018 or mid '17

Yes, im sure the White Sox will give up a top 5 pitcher with four seasons of cheap control for Fedde, a likely bullpen scrub, and a utility infielder.

Picture this:

Rendon bounces back next year to a back end of the top 10 MVP candidates

Taylor cuts down the strikeouts by just 5% and becomes a .265/.325/.475 hitter with a 20/20 season, gold glove defense, and potential for more.

Murphy has another solid season batting .285/.330, 10 homeruns, a lot of doubles, and few strikeouts.

Then all three ill get packaged with two or three fedde, lopez, difo, or cole leel prospects for

drumroll

Depends on how much of his salary the brewers are willing to keep paying.  The more they pay, the better the prospects.  They'd probably be looking for arms.  I'd say a package of or comparable to Fedde, Lopez, Cole, and Difo could do it considering Braun's baggage

No.  You're all wrong.  I want trout, but I'd settle for braun, reddick, cargo, etc.  what if Jennifer love Hewitt don't wanna blow you?  Put your eggs in multiple baskets and hope we Souza the other team.
