I await the Bob Nightengale Tweet, scolding, "Lenyn Sosa and Davis Martin were certainly available at the trade deadline."

Vinnie Duber addresses the issue: White Sox’ losing streak stretches to six as Sean Burke turns in rotation’s latest short start - Chicago Sun-Times

The bullpen's also picked up 25.2 innings over the last 5 games. Fresh arms.

2024 and 2025 was the same thing. .474-.497 OPS in April, and .665-.618 OPS in May. That was a contributing factor to two terrible starts for the entire team.

Your list shows them at 18, and B-R.com at 19, just behind the Dodgers. For all the whining about their "dumpster dive" bullpen, weird how the Dodgers seem to be just about as good while spending tons of money on their pitching staff.

Why are Sosa and Robert out?

I wonder if they do Vasil and Alexander in tandem to fill the rotation spot or promote somebody. Yoendrys Gomez seems to have calmed down at AAA.

The wheels fell off last year. He just got one wheel on the wheel studs, and it fell back off.

There could be a parallel universe where the White Sox pummeled the Mariners, sweeping them, and securing home field advantage throughout the playoffs by the end of the first week of August.

Not for him. It's just information.

Correct. But there is a limit to how many times a player can be sent down in a single season. I believe it's 5, then the player gets to become a free agent if they choose.

Correct. This is his last option year. He can be sent down something like up to 5 times per option year. Next season, he is out of options and has to be rostered on the 26-man all season, or DFAed. Bryan Ramos is in the same position, so I'd think they would have called him up instead of Amaya.

No, I think the whole thread's a troll. But yeah, moronic.

I think some people envision me having a notebook filled with me practicing signing "Eddy Vargas" in it, and I think besides saying he could be a 3 WAR 3B (not crazy given the pace he was on for 2 months), I've also said he may not be on the next competitive team. He's a place holder until he taps into that top 40 potential with the bat.

Only off by not reading the comment. 34 games was about 1/3 of the games already been played.

Or he was, and it takes a while for a change to feel natural in game situations.

I thought he could be Joe Crede-like. If he put up 15-20 bWAR at 3B, or LF, that would have been phenomenal for the #22 pick. It's just his rookie season, and the league doesn't seem to have adjusted to him, much, yet.

It was a podcast. Him and Jon Daniels talking about the GM job, how they got theirs, and the duties involved, how the position has morphed just over their time in the game. I found it interesting. Hahn was in baseball about 23 years and has a ton of knowledge.

You mean.... Fred? Yeah, Rick telling JR to fire him was probably the biggest takeaway. Interesting insight on how Cashman and Dombrowski are just straightforward dudes, instead of wasting his time just info-gathering.

That is Sosa.
