I don't think that trade makes much sense from the Reds either, outside of Peraza not exactly lighting the world on fire with those pick ups.
I would've preferred for the Reds to hold onto both Frazier and Chapman, wait until the deadline and get a contender to overpay.
Since the latest CBA were type A and B free agents were eliminated there has been less overpaying for next year free agents at the trade deadline. Way less.
Frazier isn't a next year FA, only Chapman.
Yes Dodgers definitely came out on top. I'm not really sure what the White Sox front office is doing either. Over the last 5 years it's a rollercoaster of "we're in rebuilding mode" or "we're going for broke this season" and the results have obviously been horrible with this failure to decide which mode they're in.
As much as I don't like this trade for the Reds, if I was a White Sox fan I'd be even more upset.

I'm not upset at all. I like this deal. The sox have not had a decent 3b since Joe Crede. The White Sox were never in a rebuilding mode. I can't remember when they last blew up the team maybe 1997 the famous white flag trades. They always are in building mode. They now have protection for Abreu since Laroche can't hit.

I wouldn't assume Frazier is gone. He could easily be signed. He seems like a good fit for the low-key South Side.
I completely agree with you. What do you think about the deal?

Yeah the trade doesn't make much sense for the Reds. White Sox did well...Frazier is a top flight 3B and they didn't give up much to get him. I think Montas won't make it as a starter (as he's a 2 pitch pitcher) and Micah Johnson might become a decent 2B, but still needs a lot of work defensively.I love what the Sox got. I like what the Dodgers got. I absolutely hate what the Reds got.
