Look, I get this has become your personal quest to destroy whomever tells us they have insider information, but we don't need another thread turned into a passing match over it. You made your point. Again. Let it go. It will either pan out, or it won't. Soxtalk can collectively decide for itself what the information is worth.11 points

I love Vaughn. I could trade him, but if I did it’s for an dynamic front line cost controlled player…not Montas.7 points

Most of us appreciate you sharing man. I personally don’t know if you know anything, but at least you aren’t a pompous prick about it. We appreciate it.6 points

The Reds traded Gray for Chase Petty. Vaughn has far more trade value than Petty. Rough couple days for you5 points

The only thing that has stopped the deal finishing is they haven’t agreed on the talent packages4 points

Thanks. I'm a fan like all of u. There are people on here u trust who can vouch for me. I lucked into info. If this isn't true or doesnt get done I'm sorry. I dont post shit I dont think is close (still stand by Vaughn info last year). This sounded done an hr ago. Nothing has changed with that other than white Sox dave pissing on it. He's gotta have better sources than me, but I'll stand with it.4 points

THey can get Montas without Vaughn. To be honest though, if they can ride this ship till July, Syndergaard will likely be available (not buying the Angels at all). Syndergaard will be a hell of a lot cheaper than Montas.4 points

Not sure I really understand this critique. We don’t have a single position player debuting as a rookie on this team, and the only debuts in my head have been banks and now severino. And considering rosters are at 28 that doesn’t seem out of step to any other roster let alone one with multiple injuries.4 points

Wow, he just referred to Vaughn as "really bad OF". Screw this guy. Zero professionalism.3 points

Gonna have to work with Rodriguez on what “close” means3 points

Could you make a contingency on the deal if he gets tested positive for roids, since he’d be out like both years of deal3 points

If Colson is traded I'm going to cope via my assessment that he didn't look that impressive in the 2 games I watched him play this season. 😅3 points

Yeah, I mean this is an exciting start to the season but I don't think what we are seeing is out of step with that ranking and still think it's what it deserved. But here are reasons why I think it was valid: - Unlike previous white sox dead last farm rankings, the system does include quite a bit of talent that could become high-end. But much like previous dead last rankings we have these huge depth issues where multiple positions have no help close to being found. SP makes up close to 20% of a major league roster and it's a bunch of 40 FV guys and MILB depth until you get to A+, and I'm talking about Burke there, who has a lot of arm build-up left. - In 2018-19 our farm was super fun not just because it had a bunch of high-end guys, but they were all performing. 2021 was the inverse of that, while we had some successes in guys like Romy, Rodriguez and Ramos emerge with really good years, our high-budget draft picks of Kelly, Dalquist and Thompson had atrocious years. Our Kanny young hitters had mostly atrocious years (Beard, Gladney, Bailey, Previously promising pitchers like Stiever and Lambert reaffirmed they were now just fodder after coming back from injuries. - Possible Guy Norge Vera didn't play, and exciting pickup cespedes didn't light the world on fire as a for-his-age prospect in High-A. So basically we have a farm with a bunch of potential (Thompson, Dalquist, Kelly, Vera and added Kath, Montgomery, Macdougal) that hasn't come close to showing it yet and is viewed with more skepticism, while guys that are performing (Rodriguez, Sosa, Ramos, Mieses) are building up a case but still viewed skeptically (though ramos probably about to burst through, my sweet boy Rodriguez is still viewed at arms length as just a UTIL guy unless he improves hit tool). And when you compare that to other teams, it's lack of immediate top 150 guys sticks out, and then guys we are excited also have guys like that in every other org. But that said, with a 2019-esque year on the farm, it could jump up quite a bit because they are a young group. AND our bottom of the league farm of the early-mid-10s produced way more major league impact than would have been predicted. AND guys that were just considered bleh like Sheets and Burger last year have contributed quite a bit to the major league club. It's not destitute, but it isn't inaccurate. The main thing for me is they just need to add MORE. More more more more more. Bigger LatAm, and I don't know that we can afford these 2020 like classes. I think looking back I'm totally cool with 2021. Kath was not as expensive as I remember, and we did some big work in the 11-20 range.3 points

Not sure if I am doing this correctly wanted to reply to Chicago White Sox i agree with you and often agree with your posts thanks for your insight i appreciate reading your posts!!2 points

I did, and truth be told I originally had the wrong team too, bit corrected it to Texas a couple hr before official. Again, this may not happen. Seems odds are against it at this point, but I'll go down with the ship. Would be first time either. But people u trust will tell u what I had in Cueto last week (which I didnt put in here...I didnt feel as confident about that as I did this)2 points

Honestly, with the injuries the Sox have to their staff and the late start, I'm thankful we have TLR helming the ship right now as this is undoubtedly something he has had to deal with before.2 points

Think its more than a little surprising teams like Baltimore, KC, Oakland, Washington, Miami, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Colorado wouldn't take a roll of the dice. All it costs is a roster spot, and if he sucks, you cut him. Good news for the Sox though, even if he's still unlikely to make it to the bigs in 22. I assume he'll be milb FA at the end of this season if not added back to 40 man?2 points

Geez, tough crowd here. On one hand I hear Hahn signs too much vets in bullpen. Now we are using too many MiLB bullpen arms. I kid to a point… It seems like a great idea to test these guys out, hopefully in low leverage situations with the expanded rosters in April. I’m kind of surprised in Anderson Severino being the guy, especially since Hunter Schyver is a lefty with better, more consistent numbers in AAA. But I say go with it and experiment and see if we can find some lightning in a bottle players for this season. It also may help in bringing that payroll down in future seasons if we can start utilizing cheaper bullpen arms. We need some discounted players so we can hope to sign Giolito or eventually Tim Anderson.2 points

I know he seems like a vet at this point, but I believe Sousa debuted Opening Day.2 points
