Headley, then this trade makes no sense at all. Robertson is the only one worth a shit.
Please let this go away.
Good luck with that.
This trade is about prospects and only about prospects. I wonder if CHI is trying to play Bos/NY against each other. If so, I hope the Red Sox get their asses kicked and by the hugest margin possible.
Mateo is a goner. If this includes Rutherford I think it's a lousy deal. Drob is signed through 2018. Frazier is not signed beyond 2017 and neither is Kahnle

A little bit misleading. While Kahnle's current contract runs out at the end of the season, he has 3 years of team control left.
we'll have to see the prospects that go before we start saying we like or dislike it. But getting all three with Robertson having another year on his deal and Kahnle cost controlled for another 4 or so years, I would think it would be a decent haul...which worries me.
Frazier can play 1B as well as 3B. Think he would primarily be looked at as the 1B the rest of the year and spell Headley at 3B at times. The black hole at 1B is way more of a problem than Headley at 3B. I was interested in giving Cooper more of a look at 1B, but I guess there is a reason he was in the minors and was traded straight up for a lefty JAG reliever in Webb.
Mateo & Andujuar are still playing in their respective minor league games. Either the trade isn't as close as being reported or they are not a part of it.
Headley has a respectable .790 OPS vs righties, but about .500 vs lefties. Frazier has an OPS over .800 vs lefties. This would create an obvious platoon and gives them a better bench bat than we've had all season

I just hope we didn't overpay if this is all true
he's coming here if the deal goes through to play 1b.

I stand corrected - I guess the point about a better bat against lefties still makes some sense. But I'm worried about the cost
This season has been the product of how well the youngsters have been playing. I don't get trading for vets to disrupt the good vibe, even if the season is slipping away.
I could live with Tyler Wade, Dustin Fowler, but it feels like it will be much more.

I'd rent Frazier , I prefer Andujar but Frazier can hit 8th on my team.
Would be even better if it meant no more Headley but I can see a platoon or maybe just DFA Chase.
Frazier is also a Jersey guy and also went to Rutgers as well.
Maybe coming home would help him not hit .200
Please let this go away.

It just makes the most sense
I think that's an overpay tho.. Mateo is a great prospect..
None of the players given to us have that type of value really.
Maybe Robertson but def not Frazier

Please no that's terrifying. Carter's swing gives me chills.

I think this would be optimal. Alonso could be like Tino Martinez and Gray upgrades their starting pitching.

Could be. I mean unless Chicago made some moves before the game, which they clearly did not, they may need the arms in the pen tonight.
That being said, I hope this doesn't go down. Please Lord, let the Sox overpay for these guys. Not us.
I've been talking about shopping Rutherford but I would not be ok moving him for a rental and middle relief
Better be wrong.
He doesn't suck

Todd Frazier fucking sucks.
He doesn't suck
31 years old, .318 career OBP, mediocre at best defense. What a star. Totally worth parting with a top 100 prospect.
He's Chris Carter redux.
I have Mateo and Andujar ahead of Rutherford as much as I love him
Robertson in the 8th

Yes he does suck.
McKinney wasn't gonna do it lol.
Frazier will help and > Headley.
Robertson will help a TON. Will need more Tums tho

Glad you're not our GM
