Since the white sox seem to be rebuilding, i came up with 5 more trades
(#: mlb. com rankings)

Trade 1)
CHW gets:
RP J. Jewell (14 laa)
IF R. Baldoquin (23 laa)

LAA gets:
SP J. Shields
Cash ($25.00 Million)

White Sox won't get much for Shields so getting salary relief which they end up saving $19.00 Million plus 2 prospects with upside can benefit the whitesox

Angels need SP and getting Shields for 2 low ranked prospects and only paying him $19.00 Million over 2 years is helpful

Trade 2)
CHW gets:
SP Y. Mendez (1 tex / 56 mlb)
1B J. Gallo
OF J. Beras (11 tex)

TEX gets:
1B J. Abreu

Whitesox get a young power hitting bat that reminds me of adam dunn (40+ hr potential but 150+ so) but is under contract for 3 more years and getting Mendez is a plus as he has a high ceiling in potential and adding beras, who can start or mostlt be a 4th OF

Rangers add Abreu who will replace Fielder and is under contract for 3 more years

Trade 3)
CHW gets:
SP M. Fried (11 atl)
SP M. Soroka (7 atl / 90 mlb)
IF T. Demeritte (9 atl)

ATL gets:
3B T. Fraizer

Whitesox add a project pitcher in Fried, soroka can either start or relief and demeritte has power and potentially replace fraizer

Braves seem to be like they want to compete and so getting fraizer to fill the void at third

Trade 4)
CHW gets:
SP T. Beede (2 sf / 98 mlb)
RP R. Black (16 sf)
IF C. Hinojosa (13 sf)

SF gets:
RP D. Robertson

Whitesox add beede who is a good prospect who strikeout well, black who is a hard thrower and maybe close plus hinojosa can be a future utility player

Giants got melancon but adding robertson can help the bullpen out having 2 reliable RP

Trade 5)
CHW gets:
SP A. Bradley
OF P. Obrien (7 ari)

ARI gets:
OF M. Cabrera

Whitesox get a former top prospect who hasn't got to that potential yet but he still can and getting obrien who has power can also play 1B

Dbacks need an extra OF and giving up Bradley is not hard to swallow since they got Walker.

All possible but I am not sure. The trades are fair the only problem is I doubt Atlanta want Frazier and the Giants probably won't want Robinson and the Dimondbacks probably don't want Melky but we will see.

D Backs wouldn't do that last one, for sure.

Abreu and Todd Father are interesting trades, but whites are only on the hook for $10 mil a year for shields (thanks padres)

David Robertson trade won't work. to much going to Chicago and giants don't need another closer.
