Big no to Detmers or Rasmussen. Taking the worst of it by a lot. Perhaps Kirby, as part of a Mariners retool sell-off, can be had on-the-cheap. He had a bad year, but in contrast to, say, Gore, he's actually good.

Hell yeah Brewers

All three will likely prove themselves to be expendable in time — Acuna, Murray, and Bergolla. Not even mediocre.

Murray is extremely good defensively at every position you put him and can actually hit a little bit from the right side. With a lefty heavy line up, Bergolla would struggle to get at bats even if he’s healthy, which is a big if. Acuna simply can’t hit. Sox need another righty on the bench. I think Murray can be that guy. Maybe I’m wrong.

Murray sounds like a golfer’s name. No power for most of his minor league career. Jack of all trades, master of none. Missed most of the season, like Bergolla, só will take 3-4 months to get back in a rhythm. 27 1/2 at the start of the season. Rays would make another mistake like Peters in one off-season?

I'd go with Bergolla over Acuna, as the utility infielder. Better hitter.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking. Plus I went back and read an article when he was traded and it was clear the Bears were trying to find a good spot for him. The Chargers were looking good back then. No ill will from what I read.

TJ Maxx/Marshall's

No more Dollar Store shopping, it's on to Kohl's, target, and JC Penney. :)

He likely is expendable, but I don't consider Murray's value superior to Acuna. Acuna has value as a pinch runner and is the best SS on the roster next to Monty. The Sox likely will be adding Bergolla to the 40-Man (assuming he isn't traded). I don't see Murray really sticking around or having a place if you have guys like Baldwin and Bergolla entering the mix.

The draft hasn’t been their problem, I agree. The biggest problem holding the Sox back from being the Brewers is their international operation and rudderless it is. Once they get that off the ground and get their pitching development back on track, they could be on track to be like the brewers

Mack will want to go to Bears…4th is too much…let’s see Chargers do solid and move him to Bears for a 6th. On Simmons…was it expensive yes…is he a beast…yes. Elite difference maker on cap friendly deal in his prime (would love if he was 2 years younger but he is literally an all pro machine). This guy fills a huge area of weakness and makes every other guy on the line better - from Sweat to Booker to Jarrett to Turner etc. So fired up!!! I didn’t want some mediocre deal I wanted a legit deal for a true difference maker. I like Simmons more than Crosby. Love the move! Let’s go Bears!!! Let the 2 picks be 32nd overall!

You know when I was 11 - White Sox had a good team and then went on strike and we came back and added Albert Belle. It didn’t work as designed but was great idea. My son is now 11 and Sox have a good team and baseball is at risk…can history repeat itself and we see them come out of the labor dispute with a Tarik Skubal or some other uncharacteristic splash move…this time with a better long term outcome!

Good resume coming from good organization. Can’t complain.

Another road loss because these stiffs simply can't score goals.

Not another KC hire win/win

You may quibble with his defense, but Baldwin most assuredly can play both ss and cf. He was bad in the corners for the most part, but playable in cf. I believe Acuna is expendable because I would rather have Tanner Murray.

Yea cautious optimism. Hopefully it means we are expanding our overall scouting resources. IMO the draft was never really our problem, maybe it was for a period, but we've had other issues and in general our drafts are fine and certainly played a role in the positive 2026 season. Shirley had to go, but he seemed better than most at his job himself.

He's 35 and on an 0-6 team going no where fast. He's playing about 45 snaps per game right now with the Chargers, but my guess is he'd be fine coming back to Chicago and playing in a rotation.

The Brewers also face a decision on first baseman Andrew Vaughn. Swartz projects an $8.5MM salary for Vaughn, who was a part-time player in 2026 and posted a .306/.390/.444 in 331 trips to the plate. He saw regular action against lefties and pummeled them at a .336/.421/.517 clip while posting closer to average offense versus righties. The Brewers typically don’t spend much money at first base. Vaughn could reasonably be pressed into an everyday role, but Milwaukee could consider a trade or even a non-tender, thereby reallocating those dollars while pursuing a more affordable option at first. mlbtraderumors.com
