Trades with White Sox and Yankees




I know the Tigers and White Sox seldom trade with one another, but the White Sox have a hole at 2B. Why not try and ship Schoop to the southside to free up playing time at 2B for some youngsters? The White Sox could send 18 year old SS Ryan Burrowes to the Tigers. He's their 20th ranked prospect . He has some power and speed and a strong arm. He would probably just make the Tiger's top 30 prospects right around 27. That is good for an 18 year old.

The White Sox currently have 26 year old Romy Gonzalez penciled in at 2B. Schoop would give them a solid defensive 2B and maybe he can get his hitting back in a hitter friendly park?

Then, the Tigers could try and get Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the Yankees. It would probably cost a guy like Cisnero. IKF is an excellent defensive 3B and is an average hitter. Trade simulator allows me to include Aaron Hicks and Oswaldo Cabrera to that trade for Cisnero... but I may be acting greedy.

Yankees want to dump Hicks and they also have no need for IKF... this saves them some money. IKF is making $6 mil this year and is a free agent at the end of the season. Hicks is making $10 mil a year for the next 3 seasons.
