[Sox acquire Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and Avery Weems]

Oh how I miss the simpler times of waiting to hear back from that dude who was getting Machado updates at a 2 yr olds birthday party. How the times have changed lol

[Sox acquire Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning and Avery Weems]

Would y’all prefer Darvish, Heyward, Colome with no financial room for moves the next 2 years or Lynn, Pederson, Hendriks and room to make a move mid season/next offseason 

[Len Kasper is new White Sox radio play by play announcer]

His voice is so annoying, once Brenly left I put the games on mute. 

[Sox vs. Tigers. 9/11 - 7:10]

I remember when I was young being at a game where Paulie hit a homer off him to walk it off or tie it.  Can’t remember exactly but the Sox did win, even when I was young the aura Mariano had was pretty cool to watch

[#3 Starter for Playoffs]

Need to see Dunning against a team that’s not the Tigers or Royals. Not a knock on him as both teams are hard outs but if he can do well against The Twins/Indians/Cubs then that’s when the convo should heat up

[8.31.20 GT | Sox @ Twins | 7:10PM CT]

This will be the 6th loss in a row for the Twinkies, that’s pretty crazy

[Realistic trade candidates AKA The Lynnsanity Thread]

The thing with the Brewers is that they need help everywhere besides RF and 2nd base. Especially if the DH stays in the NL.

[Realistic trade candidates AKA The Lynnsanity Thread]

Imagine a bullpen with Bummer and Hader. Also what do you think it’d take for Hader, woodruff, and Yelich? I think I’d do Vaughn, Kopech, stiever, Collins, and probably more. 

[Sox Officially Sign Edwin Encarnacion (1YR/$12M), Kodi Medeiros DFA]

I think it’s more:

1. Robert

2. Moncada

3. Abreu

4. Grandal

5. Eloy

6. EE

7. Mazara

8. Anderson

9. Madrigal

 

[For the hell of it:]

Bellinger and Baez

[Sox and Sawks to see if the Price is Right]

Darvish has a no trade clause and has stated he wouldn’t wave it

[Successful Plan B; What’s Next?]

Looks like Snell is off the board. Rays signed the Japanese 1st baseman.

[Sox and Sawks to see if the Price is Right]

Honestly those who think Boston would throw in Nintendo are unrealistic. This offseason for SP has benefited them immensely. They may throw in Groome or something similar in value but with 5 teams interested that ship has sailed. For all those complaining about Mazara, let the kid play before you fail him. Y’all overreact and once you hear it’s a bad trade start to jump ship. Honestly it’s sad to see all the hate and somewhat embarrassing. Let the offseason play out and continue to think of hypothetical trades but R-E-L-A-X. 

[Sox considering a trade, per Chuck.]

Don’t know if Myers is useful anymore. We could take his contract and get some good prospects back from SD to flip. Could platoon with Mazara

[Sox acquire Nomar Mazara for Steele Walker]

Since RF is sorta filled, I’d  take on Price’s contract along with Groome/ another top prospect and turn that into a trade for Snell adding Dunning, Steiver, Basabe and Collins. Whatever it takes with out including Madrigal and Vaughn 

[Didi to Phi Phi]

They have Bohm in the minors and kingery. Kingery plays outfield for them as well

[Sox in on Marcell Ozuna? I mean, maybe. Or not.]

I would trade collins, basabe and stiever for Marte, then take Sale off the BoSox for Lopez,  Walker and Sheets. Then sign Keuchel for like 3/50 tops. I like him better then Ryu due to durability. That’s alleviates the pressure on Cease and Kopech. 

[Zack Wheeler Thread]

One thing to consider about Wheeler is the fact that he was pitching to Ramos in NY. With Grandal catching him who knows the improvements he might develop whether it be incremental or substantial. 

[WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd]

Walker, Pilkington, and Sheets for Marte?

[WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd]

I would start off at Rutherford, Zeby, and Hansen. Don’t know if that’s too much or little. The game idea of Marte and Robert covering 2/3 of the OF is pretty exciting 

[WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd]

I’d be okay with Wheeler if he’s under 20 million. Then get Marte for RF in a trade 

[WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd]

Obviously the 31yr old with a proven history of pitching good/great seasons. Plus postseason experience is just a plus. If your going to throw $20+ million dollars at a pitcher you might as well go after the whales instead of settling for a guy that may not have hit his potential. Doing that more times than not bites you back big time. Wheeler is not worth 20+ a season

[WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd]

I don’t get the love for Wheeler. To me he’s like that girl you ask out to prom after your 1st  two options kindly tell you nah. Especially for a 29 yr old with TJ history. 

[WHITE SOX SIGN Grandal 4/$73, Palka DFAd]

Don’t forget we don’t lose a draft pick because he rejected the qualifying offer last off-season. Can only get offered it only once 

[Eloy going on IL]

Worst case scenario he gets TJ surgery. Even in that scenario it’s not like he’s stuck at DH forever. Look at Otani in LA, guy is a 2 way player and even as a DH full time he is having a great season. He’ll be back to pitching and hitting next year without being rushed. Some people here are so worried about player’s value at certain positions. Eloy can still work on his reads, fly balls, and routes while recovering and still be an OF after a year. It’s not like TJ is endgame for his positional career. Plus he’ll still be able to hit, we love him because of his bat not because of his Engel -esque defense.
