I agree. But there are at least two reasons to make an in season, deadline trade. The short term, let's try to win this year and the long term let's add prospects. Buyers at the deadline tend to be looking for short term, win now, and are willing to give up prospects. Sellers are generally looking to off load short term contracts and pick up prospects. This season I would rather not pick up players with one or two years left on their contracts in exchange for players that are still developing. That's what mid and bottom tier franchises go for. Trying to win a division or make the playoffs is nice, but truly having a chance at a "multiple championship window" is what top organizations look for.

Following up: In review(s), White Sox capitalized on advantages in 2026 MLB draft - Sox Machine

When I saw Bonemer play, he was definitely athletic. Dude moves like a strong safety. Very well built, straight line fast although not a ton of lateral quickness from what I observed.

Vargas, Mune, Peters, Colson, really a whole team (including management and coaches) has turned things around. Depending on how you define "valuable" the most valuable player could be Antonacci. He brings a contagious attitude.

This what I get for responding before reading. Yup, 60 grade speed.

He ran a 4.2 to first in the futures game the other day. That's 60 grade speed. I think it surprised a lot of people. Baseball America had several things on it.

Fun reread.

Tarps off, slamming 'za on the lake with the boys lol I'm sure he would have gotten on well enough anywhere, but there does seem to be a special spark to how well/quickly he meshed here.

Lmao

"The Sox traded for the wrong Vargas!"

At the end of the day boss, someone’s getting traded

They are about to go on a road winning streak!!!

Isn't 4.2 seconds from a right handed hitter a 60-65 FV grade for speed? That's wild if it turns out Bonemer has a 60 FV for speed instead of 40. That puts him in another level as a prospect, offensively and defensively. That's so exciting.

So odd having a team that Law is supportive of. I dig it. Our hatred for him was a delusion.

Where are you seeing Caleb has ++ speed? From what I've seen Roch is 50/50 speed and Bonemer is 40/40. Bonemer is going to be a freaking stud though. I'm so high on his bat. I'm assuming he can play 2B and 3B, not just LF. Never know what will happen with our roster. His bat will play at any of those positions though. Dude had 18 bombs in 61 games in A+ and he is currently holding his own in AA as a 20 year old. We might see him up next season if he keeps doing well in AA. Start him in AAA and call him up mid season if he's raking.

The failure of the Sale trade/ Robert rebuild I think was a wakeup call to the foolish old man. He knew something was still wrong, and he still didn’t know what (which was basically him). I just think he stumbled around until finally realizing he was out of time, someone convinced him you have to stock the minors organically. He was still super awkward in empowering Getz and co, and obviously got lucky with Getz because the hiring process was Jerry B ***** 101, and Jerry is still doing Jerry things. But basically he began using his frontal lobe more than ever because he’s gonna die soon, and desperately opened up his mind to change before the clock runs out. Thats the movie.

I'm in the minority of what,people who like loud and obnoxious ? Sure OK great I am but money still has nothing to do with who I watch so telling me why someone is making a lot of money still means nothing to me or why I tuned in this time. I dislike the guy like people dislike Schriff , arguing about it doesn't change my personal choice.
