Look I think Cease sucks and will be lucky to have the career of Quintana , Eloy will probably be the hitter they wanted Schwarber to be. That being said , the trade was a bust for the Cubs even if they only gave up a case of baseballs. Q is and always will be just a guy. ( which may actually be an asset with Biden changing the rules now that I think about it )

What does Eloy have to do for him to be "valuable"?

And your definition of value is poor. So is the White Sox'. Maybe that's why they haven't won a playoff series since Obama was smoking reefer with Rev. Wright.

2005.

Cease and Eloy will end up doing a lot more for the White Sox than Q did for the Cubs.

It really doesn't matter. Once the Cubs decided not to trade Schwarber, keeping Eloy on the 40-man was like carrying a fourth condom in your wallet.

Wouldn't it be something if Soler turns out to be the best one out of the 3.

Quintana turned out to be a dud, but in the end what we gave away(an outfielder so bad he makes Adam Dunn look like a Gold Glover, and a pitcher that will never throw more than 90 innings in a given season) is NOT worth crying over.

left field is the position least concerned with defense on the entire field. You gave up a guy who is already sitting at 45 HR in his first 177 MLB games

Eloy is going to spend many years as top 10 in AL OPS.

Cubs got fleeced.

It would be true if the Sox only received Eloy. That one looked good for the Sox from the moment it was announced. Bob's knows this as he there is a very notable thread saying the Cubs would never trade Eloy for Quintana a month or so before it happened.
