What would be astronomical for the Sox?

I agree that’s almost always the case…I just think no team is in need of a controllable SP more than us and Getz push hard to land one.

Dude…this is nowhere close to reality. Detmers is a former top 50 prospect who finally figured things out under Mike Maddux and who currently has the peripherals of a high end SP. His value with 2 1/3 years of control is going to be very high. People pay for expected go-forward performance and not past. Meanwhile, Lodise isn’t even an org top 20 guy for me and Bergolla is semi interesting due to age & hit tool, but lacks ceiling and is also currently injured again. They are nothing but secondary pieces in a trade for Detmers. Fine if you don’t like the player or price, but let’s avoid creating false realities here.

Even if Noah’s father feels that way, I doubt he would ever say it publicly as long as his son is with the Sox organization.

Will require more than that.

Really? Wow. I already thought pitchers were going to be outrageously expensive but even I’m surprised by that.

You need to start posting only legit insiders, like Bartolo’s bungholio.

I would bet money that package is better than what he goes for.

Detmers is pretty damn good.

We have a new Foodies invasion. Instead of food it’s just stock photo normie guys

Good eye. It's a stock photo https://tineye.com/search/6ad0d4a58793380a3b61991570f2bd0847a25962?sort=score&order=desc&page=1

It’s really hard for me to see Hagen succeed in the bullpen when his biggest problem is putting it over the plate.

Well that is awful decision making by the White Sox if they are willing to give up a high upside prospect like Carlson for a pitcher like Detmers. It is paying a premium for cost control vs. eliteness and that is not a trade off this organization should ever make. If you want to move Carlson in a package for Miller - I don't love it, but I get behind the fact you are getting an elite cost controlled player, but at a less premium position. That is an acceptable trade off.

I said a couple of years ago that a great yardmarker of success would be how the trio of Taylor, Hagen, and Schultz ended up. So far, the needle isn't pointing up.

If this was the price for Detmers, I think he'd be here already.

The Fegan piece is great. Schultz has to be close to the innings limit, regardless. They've made lots of changes with him that seem unnecessary. There have been many pitching development issues this year. I don't know who is to blame necessary but none of Schultz, Smith, Taylor, McDougal or Oppor is currently starting every 5th day in the majors on a big league workload and I personally think that's an issue. Schultz likely goes to bullpen role after the deadline I'd think. You seem pretty confrontational for no reason though.

My official prediction is Carlson, Quero, & Adams and I think most people will hate that.

I'd be very surprised. Asking price sounds astronomical. Fake account Fake account.

Grichuk being healthy and productive this year (and making league minimum) would make him much more attractive to teams. But also, I would probably want to keep him over Hays.

I don’t trust this Travis Hudson guy… simply because of his profile picture.

Set your river on fire?

Now we are talking overpay.

It makes a lot of sense if either of them have enough value to get there. It could even be a dump for a nothing MiLB player to get the roster spot open.
