Just makes him more valuable to deal in the next few weeks

Dude, read the room.

I mean, this really makes the Dunning deal a HR. I think the Rangers did fine in the deal too, Lynn didn’t make sense for them in their rebuild…but Lance Lynn was a Top 3 pitcher in the AL in the first half and seemingly took an undermarket extension to stay with the Sox. It’s a good day.

The evidence that the players absolutely hate playing for Tony LaRussa just keeps piling up.

Why didn't Cishek scoop this?

Totally worth Dunning now times a thousand.

Did you guys watch cease last night? Not trading that.

Someone started the thread about TA adding power and he homered, so I figured I'd give this a try.

There is an eight game lead to hide behind.

All I have to say is FUCK YES. One if my fav Sox pitchers ever. Finally a “bulldog on the mound” that lets his pitching back it up.

Very unsportsmanlike, Jake.

dude is the best.

White Sox wins WS in 2023. Parkman: be glad this happened, everyone is gone in 2 years.

Hoyt without the diverse arsenal and powdered nose

I always felt 2/$40M was fair, so this with an option is unbelievable!!! @CaliSoxFanViaSWside - Now we don’t need to go all-in on the 2021 season 😉

Lucroy had a 680 OPS in AAA this year and was released by 3 major league teams. This guy isn’t a friggen starter gmafb

I know it's only been a few games but Jesus christ it would he hard to trade burger. No baseball for three years, comes back and spits on MLB pitching. Amazing story,

Lucas gets stopped from using spidertack after 2 years. A few games later switches from fastball-changeup to fastball-changeup-slider (maybe minor curveball?). All clean. Has one bad start, then destroys his next 2 opponents using that slider. Luca$ is back. I like Luca$ even more now. Go do this for the rest of your career dude. Buy yourself a trip to space when you retire.

Consistently high EV was cited as a primary reason he was drafted

Meh, Eloy would have caught that.

Being from St. Louis it was pretty cool seeing the first home run in Burger's career in person

Yes, but always Number 1 in our hearts.

Eloy will be back soon.

Sox are too dumb to go anywhere in the playoffs.

It's been an organizational issue for as long as I can remember. The Sox have cornered the market on baseball stupid for at least 20 years.

Tony needs to grow a pair and send Mendick out this inning.

This makes Lynn even better trade bait. Sell him off before the deadline.

You'd be surprised, one of those guys turned into Tatis Jr once upon a time. But go on.

The short term nature of this deal still leaves room for Rodon imo.

I wonder if St. Louis would do TRL a solid and give Molina a chance at another playoff run, Good for everyone involved I would think. Last year's catching was one of our biggest strengths...now we look desperate.

Collins is bad. Get a catcher.

Lucas is like, "Hey, I'm a stud as well!" and comes up with a gem. Burger hit's his first. Collins worked another great game with Lucas, adding a HR. This could be the day SoxTalk is unified, everyone seems to have enjoyed the Lynn extension and game tonight. Keep the Good Vibes and Winning going tomorrow!!!

On Fox. No NBCSC. Giolito vs Odorizzi Let's win one, huh?

I bet the home crowd enjoyed today's fireworks show much more than yesterday's

Abreu at 69 RBI

In game interviews with players/coaches are so useless.

Leury showing up that poor baseball I.Q. once again.

Get the Escobar trade done now please!

I'm not sure he's anything better than a #3 without spider goop

The next step in his recovery will be catching BP so he can slowly get used to interfering with live bats.

I don't there is a chance we trade Cespedes for Gallo.

He should've waited for the game in Iowa and asked..."hey Tony....wanna have a catch?"

The point is teams do always want starting pitching. It might be expensive crap starting pitching to you but a guy who can make all his starts and have a 4.00 ERA in the AL is quite useful to a lot of teams and they will trade prospects or a near MLB player for him. It's not unheard of.

Parkman just wants another rebuild. He walk backs his statements everytime he says it but that's really what he wants. He wanted both those pitchers gone and to waive the white flag on this year.

Seems like a big risk to give up Cease and basically leave you an injury away from garbage next season…and Keuchel’s already on his last legs as it stands. JR is not one to get rid of the cost controlled player in favor of the much more expensive and fading veteran. Last time a similar move happened was Daniel Hudson for Edwin Jackson, or the Todd Ritchie deal. The other one, Bassitt and Montas hardly had any major league time. Crochet seems much more likely.

Sounds like a Formula 1 driver or Italian striker…

Oh yea. Never expected this especially at a team friendly rate but glad I traded Dunning for him.

I’ll be honest, the division is such garbage at this point that the day-to-day stuff doesn’t really matter all that much. We just need to keep our healthy players safe, get back our injured guys before the end of September, and fill our remaining holes before the deadline. I can care less if the Astros beat us up if the core guys are playing well (like Cease did last night) and if we’ll have Eloy, Robert, Grandal, a 2B, a reliever or two, and possibly a RF upgrade come October. Just keep pummeling the garbage team and lock in that playoff spot.

Need Sale's Scissors.

You suggested moving him to 2N literally like 3 days ago.
