As of today's date Yoan is sitting at 3.5 WAR on baseball-reference and Sale is at 2.1 and out for the season. This is the first year, hopefully of many, that the White Sox get more production from their end of the trade than the Red Sox get from theirs. A World Series title is priceless, but it would be nice if the White Sox can walk away from this trade with more than $24 worth of beads.


I'm sure Boston will never complain since they won a WS, but the White Sox can win too if Machado becomes a star.

how are the rest of the players they got in that deal?

Huge upside to Kopech.
Moncado looks to be a good MLB player.

I find it unforgivable that the White Sox couldn't build a winner around a #1 ace like Sale, but they did ok in the trade. Boston got their WS....the White Sox get MLB level talent in return for a guy who clearly didn't want to be there.


Sale has started two All Star games and won a World Series since the trade.

Kopech’s arm fell off last year and we have no idea what they had before he got hurt because he didn’t pitch enough in the majors.

It’s going to take an awful lot from him. He’s no Chris Sale. At least not yet.


I think that is correct. However, Moncada certainly looks like a many time all-star and I'd say his future is great. I loved Sale as a pitcher but he wanted out and they obliged him. I was against the trade of both Sale and Quintana but I have to really say that the returns that Hahn got were excellent and I am being proven wrong and I am happy about it. IF, and this is a big If, Kopech makes it as a good let alone great major league pitcher, this trade will go down as one of the best actions by a GM ever.

Could we let him be an All-Star once before we start talking about many times?

My answer was response to what the White Sox got in return. They did not come up empty. They received value.

We won't know for another 2 years whether it was FAIR value.
