During the Podcast, you presented Dr. Fagan and Mr. Gunn with an intriguing, hypothetical trade with the White Sox (shortly after the 27 min. mark) that would fill the CF, 3B, and SP holes in a single stroke. Although the prospect cost would be very, very, high, both Dr. Fagan and Mr. Gunn thought that the idea had merit.

I suspect there would be a spirited discussion regarding the prospect cost.

I think trading for either Burnes or Cease would be cost prohibitive for various reasons. Milwaukee really needs infielders and pitching and since they're looking to contend, you're looking at Cabrera, Peraza, Warren, Beeter, Hampton; which eaves only Luis Gil as the only real option as a callup, and let's face reality, every team needs to have 2-3 guys at AAA who will be called up during the year.

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
