Early Sox Trade Discussion From Analysts

[DewsSox79]

White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy is back on some teams’ radars as a midseason acquisition after a strong start to the year. Scouts have been impressed with Peavy’s overall stuff and the fact that he is notching strikeouts and throwing 92-93 m.p.h. Peavy, 30, earns $17MM this season and the White Sox would likely have to take on a portion of what’s remaining if he’s dealt. However, he has a partial no-trade to eight teams and the White Sox may not part with him if they're still relevant in July.

•The White Sox might look at the trade deadline differently than they have in the past. The extra wild card could dissuade them from moving veterans but the new CBA could make them more inclined to trade potential free agents such as A.J. Pierzynski. It's extremely doubtful that they would extend the qualifying offer to the catcher in order to receive draft pick compensation as it could cost them $12MM. The Rays and Dodgers could both be potential landing spots for the veteran.

Funny how we are a couple weeks in and they are already talking about us blowing it up.

We need to play this deadline by ear as I have a ton of confidence we are right in the thick of things all season long. I can only hope we're buyers but if it's not meant to be this season, I certainly have no problem trying to rebuild the farm a little.

We need to be scouting 3Bs, 2Bs. I love Beckham but he just cannot hit. Morel seems to be doing better after moving out of the 2 hole. Ill have patience with Morel but if Beckham aint hitting by the deadline. Package him and other guys for a hitting 2B or for a stud starter. Im really happy with Rios. Im glad he's doing better again. Dunn looks fine so far. Konerko is a fucking superstar
