1. Barry`s_Lazy_Boy Posted: August 02, 2021 at 09:30 PM (#6032385)Huh, I wonder why.
ISTR that was a Prospectus creation.
They got excellent returns for Darvish, kimbrel and Baez. Now they just have to hope these guys develop.
The Madrigal return was amazing - I’m not really sure why the white Sox were willing to do this.
To do what, exactly? Give up an injured player that has fewer career WAR than Kimbrel's put up just this season?
I mean, look, as a Cubs fan I don't mind that deal. Madrigal is a guy that, if healthy, gives the Cubs something they really need. But there are questions about him - injury, power, defense? - and at any rate, the math on the deal from the Sox' perspective seems pretty straightforward to me. It's a clear current value vs. future value consideration, completely appropriate for a team that really wants to win right now and has a legit shot to do it.
Agree with that or disagree, it's not the least bit hard to understand.
But yeah, unless they've got a 2B prospect on the way, it's surprising the White Sox would deal Madrigal. Makes me worry they think the injury problems will continue. The Cubs picked up a few injured players in these deals and reportedly had interest in Glasnow. Risky.
I happen to think he has all-star potential but Stone sees him every day.
