There's a former Sox player thread. https://www.soxtalk.com/forums/topic/124119-2026-old-sock-drawer/page/16/#comment-4812947

You must be cheering for Belgium tonight.

Let me see . . . . What meme can I use to lose all credibility as a poster on this forum??? And somewhat as a person?? Ding, ding, ding!

Here's another one: Braves put Martin Perez on the IL with a forearm issue.

As a rookie.

Mr. Brooke Fletcher...luckily set for life. Just think Preller will go for more younger/higher risk, high impact players. Made the wrong bet on Arraez and letting him go as well.

For those keeping score today: Dodgers released Jake Eder and designated Chuckie Robinson for assignment.

They need everything. Cronenworth is one of the worst players in baseball now. The Padres window is closed IMO.

Stats can be used to make almost any point, depending on one's agenda. For example, there are any number of current and former starting mlb players, including some of the great ones, that had/have lopsided splits. It's just a weak point.

I'd just keep this group together position player wise for now. Who even better than what we have is available? For now Sam and Peters and Braden is a fine OF, flawed sure, but good enough and we need to get them all experience. As you said, Bonemer is our LF, and he'll hit 40 HR hopefully. Let Chase filter himself in or out for this season and than see whatsup in the offseason. If you have "too many good players" than sure, consider trades. Pitching wise yea, fucking add.

They don't need Meidroth...and have dumped numerous lefties with control issues like Gore Snelling and Weathers. Adrian Morejon would be a lot more realistic.

I fully expect Bonemer to be our LF within two years. And I don’t think Chase will hold onto to 2B long-term…just not sure yet who will displace him. And for now, I think Peters may hold onto CF. I think our money goes toward extending Mune and adding pitching. If Peters falls off a cliff, I think you end up trading for a CF down the road, but with his defense I think he’s going to get an extended run here.

That one was the best one yet, Miguel deserved it, GO USMNT!

Seems like a rip off. For the same price you can go on a 3 hour cruise with Meidroth, Teel, Ozzie, and Pierzynski. https://www.cityexperiences.com/city-cruises/live/chicago/aj-pierzynski-friends/

I wonder if the Sox trying to get an extra pick ship has sailed at this point?

Any of you haters gonna spend $100 to tell Chase he sucks? 😆 But seriously, anybody going to this?

Now it’s truly MUNE DAY! Appropriate too since his assignment for rehab starts today too!!! LETS GO!!!!

Not sure you can call Benintendi as “albatross” at this point. He’s not worth his contract, but he’s found a role he can be productive in and only has a year left on his contract. If a better option comes along, we can get the bulk of his contract and likely move him (pending Jerry not being a cheap f*** like usual).

I don’t disagree, I just want to see the super team in a few years with Bonemer and BMont on the corners with a big FA signing in CF, Mune at DH and an infield of Vargas, Ant, Roch and Colson.

I have started coming to terms that Hagen might end up being a reliever. It sucks because of how many hitters available in that draft, but that’s in the past and now it’s all about maximizing how he can contribute. If his stuff is going to regress with a starter’s workload, there is still plenty of value to be had in the bullpen. The same applies for McDougal, but I’m more confident he can remain a SP. But perhaps for this season, you leverage him as a reliever and then work him back as a starter next season.

Maybe…I actually like what I have seen from Sam in LF for a guy that hasn’t played the position before. Regardless, even if he moves back to 2B, Chase can still be an incredibly valuable 10th man. He’s the exact type of role player who teams like the Dodgers keep around and play everyday in event of injury. And all of that is ignoring how important he is in the clubhouse.

I don't think your far off in your assessment. I am really interested to see how the White Sox deploy both Smith and McDougal. Both could really help our bullpen problem. I know people often hesitate to give up on them as starters, but if they made the transition in September, that would be the better option for us at this point. I would say its there is a good chance both are ultimately destined for the pen.

Yes I would. I think there is a valid argument that they would be better off trading him for a SP, but Miller is just so good and would secure the closer spot for years to come. I think Bonemer is a great talent but with Roch/Emerson coming, I don’t view him as untouchable.

Easily the guy I’d trade most on main roster. Ant is gonna have to move off LF eventually. His defense is not good out there.

I agree. I also think Hagen’s floor is an elite bullpen weapon, so don’t want to deal him and a bunch of other stuff for an already elite reliever.
