The problem is, Sox front office and Reinsdorf are more concerned coming out on the loosing end in “ANY” deal they make. Also, their management over values the talent they currently have on this roster. This is typical in Reinsdorf owned teams.

They are asking for premium talent for Frazier, Cabrera and Robertson. With the exception of Frazier (strikes out too much, can’t hit for avg. I believe not worth the hype he is given), they have some nice role players for a contending team. But none would be considered “Game Changers”. And, definitely not worth a high level minor leaguer or young control-able starter from your major league roster. But that is what the Sox expect.

Also, Sox front office is not proactive, they are reactive. Again is this typical for Reinsdorf organizations.

They wait for other side to approach them. If Sox are truly interested in a rebuild, and I believe they are not. This is more of their smoke and mirrors game…. The a rebuild would have started last July before the trade deadline.

Also, Sox has clearly shown, they are incapable of evaluating talent at any level. They has one of the worst scouting departments in the game today. So, I have no faith in the deals they could potentially make.

At the end of the day, Sox front office will have to stick their necks out and risk it all with this rebuild. But past on recent history, that is not how they operate.

As much is this pains to say, mediocrity will remain until Reinsdorf is gone and new ownership brings on new management to run the team.
