As my fellow writer Brian Draus pointed out today on the website, how should the White Sox go about trading Jeff Samardzija? He laid out some options on to whether they should sell quickly or wait until the final hour before dealing him away.
I cannot disagree with either solution but I am here to offer an alternative. The Sox should not trade Samardzija but rather hold onto him and lose him for a compensatory pick next year.
Why should they hold onto him you ask? Well per Dan Hayes of CSNChicago, a scout told him that the White Sox may not get much as for him as we had all hoped.
