Duke, LaRoche, Samardjia, Robertson brought in so far.

Nasty rotation and a pretty good offense... Didn't see them making this many moves. LaRoche was a solid add to pair with Abreu

Abreu and Sale are signed to great contracts. That gives them the foundation to be competitive for a long time.
 
The price for Samardzija seems pretty low. Semien, Bassitt and one more. One more data point about the buyer's market for pitching this off-season.
 
If confirmed, the A's will have their SS and Bassitt looks like a decent prospect. Curious to see who the third player will be.

Semien is more of a second baseman or third baseman. He's athletic but I don't think he will be the solution at short for the A's.

When you consider the draft pick they will get when Samardzija hits free agency, this is a very good trade for the White Sox.

They need a 2B as well, so he'll fit somewhere in their IF.

Curious to see how A's fans spin this. I have a lot of respect for Beane, but he loaded up for 2014 and fell short. It appears he is set on a tear-down.

How years of control does Samarjalakjdasd; have again? Thats why the price was low.

No sense in making this another thread about Heyward despite how hard everyone attempts to do so.

It was a relevant joke regarding the buyer's market for pitching. We already let it go in this thread after ONE reply, so making an unnecessary comment about it like this only increases the chance that it will turn this thread into one about Heyward.

Oh come on now Dalyn. You know how easily it can escalate with even a "joke".

That's true. But it was a relevant one to the discussion, and it seems to me--and I've tried to avoid the bulk of it lately--that the people being negative about the people being negative about Heyward are "louder" and more numerous than the other side. *shrug* It doesn't bother me either way, as I see this stuff as completely natural after such a short time following a big change. Takes people time to adjust (on both sides).
 
I've read a lot of writers comment that the sentiment around MLB is the Cards overpaid for Heyward.

So...suck it everyone.
 
I think this is a decent trade for both teams. Fair. If the Sox sign Jeff, I say the edge goes to Oakland. If the Sox don't sign him and get a draft pick when he signs elsewhere, I say the edge goes to them.
 
White Sox are heading in the right direction. That division is very winnable too. Another sneaky team is Minnesota if they can get some starting pitching.
