Id rather give up Sheets as the main piece as opposed to Montgomery.

Agreed. He has to be totally off the books after this year rain or shine. JR isnt going to pay a penny of tax and with rising arbitration salaries, we need to free up more money.

This savage should be a 25-30 HR guy with a plus arm and glove. Basically a perfect RFer for us. He's gotten a bit unlucky so far. I seem to remember another double he had a few games before that someone said was almost a homer, too.

At this rate, dude will be in High A by the end of the month. Wasn't his ETA originally like 2025? Seems like it could be alot sooner....like maybe mid 2023. Could even put him at 2B for awhile to start while 3B and SS are filled.

Colas double!

This. Really, they should dedicate a whole episode of Ripley's Believe it or not on the White Sox refusal to accept left handed savagery. It will be like the episode about the little kid who lived in a particularly scorching part of Arizona but never liked ice cream.

953 OPS and otherworldly ability to get on base. This cannot be tolerated.. Obviously, we have to trade him.

Yeah I don't think anyone can ask for more than that to be honest.

Hahn also needs to say no young left handed savages or Norge Vera will be dealt, too. I'm patiently waiting for that part.

If they had given up Montgomery+ for one year of Manaea, that would have been a disaster of BIBLICAL proportions.

Give up Kath instead. In the As organization, I'm 10000 percent sure he will become Corey Seager and I'm going to be so irate. Just spend some fucking money rather than wrecking our fucking future. I'm sick and tired of this shit

I love how the guy turns into an OBP machine and now is hitting XBH too and now ofcourse we have to move him. I fucking give up. This team just hates left handed savages. It's like they enjoy getting owned against RHP and getting exposed by elite RHP in the playoffs. There's alot of people out there that take pain as pleasure. I just didn't think these folks would be in our FO.

Portillo better be wrong. Hell no to trading Montgomery

Don't you touch my young left handed savages, Billy Beane. Eff you

No to Vaughn. No to Montgomery. No to Colas and no to Vera.

I wish we had that extra year of service time. Now that he had a hot start, there's no way they can justify sending him down for a few weeks.

Left handed savagery!

Nice pitching matchup.

That was very loud contact Left handed savagery!

They'll bring up a AAA scrub and concede a game before they let DKs option vest. Ofcourse they're doing a great job conceding games even without intending to now.

It sounds like it might not be too bad. Maybe like what 2-3 starts? Better than 6-8 weeks for sure.

Wow they couldn't even get something for Adolfo?

So he's out for a week then?

Do something, Rick. Cueto isn't something.

I think the primary issue is we need to make a truly meaningful move to strengthen the rotation. Lynn going down and the Tigers adding a savage only makes the need more acute. Adding Cueto is not a meaningful move. It's trying to put lipstick on a pig. Its still a pig and the lipstick doesn't fool anyone. It doesn't transform the pig into a supermodel. Even McGuire isn't going to fap to that. These aren't the moves a "World Series contender" should be making. It's garbage. Why would we waste anything on someone who has to get stretched out for awhile in the minors first? Don't we need to replace Lynn's April and May innings from the getgo so the BP doesn't get exhausted and/or we don't get in a situation where you are conceding games twice a week with DK and ReyLo/VV? And it is a waste of money since it's been obvious for awhile that we are financially tapped out so each dollar is precious. And then I hear "well you guys would be pissed if you saw what it would take to get a good pitcher on the trade market". Well, whose fault is it that the farm is a desolate wasteland where making any kind of big move would be painful? The teams fault for failing to draft or develop properly. They didn't want to take back salary so we could get Meadows and now he's with a rival. They can't develop well so our offers suck for pitching. It's their fault on both fronts. Want to know when the bitching will stop? When either they are a) tearing thru the schedule at a 95-100 win pace with even the current roster or when b) they make meaningful additions by taking on more salary obligations or c) they swindle someone for a really good SP and the cost somehow doesn't hurt at all. In other words don't hold your breath. The bitching will continue and in fact escalate exponentially until everything is smiles, cupcakes, rainbows AND unicorns. This is supposed to be our fucking window.
