If the Sox held Anderson and Eloy out, this team could get into the top 5 for next year's draft.

Another blowout against the Twins. Very familiar.

At this point, I honestly think Hahn is having Ricky play him just to deal him at the deadline for a flier single A guy.

Abreu declining as fast as Chris Davis off the roids. I'm surprised Ron is silent...

7 hits, 2 walks, 4 homers, for 7 earned runs in 5 innings? That's just bad.

Well, big difference if Hahn reels in a guy like Wood as opposed to Cole.

If a pitcher can't beat good lineups, he's not a top of the rotation starter. We need better than #3 pitchers to do some damage going forward.

Regression doesn't happen in the second half of a season?

Hahn is equal opportunity with his crappy pickups. Herrera, Nova, and Santana also thank him for easy money.

Hahn wishes he could make the cheap pickups the Twins do year after year. He gets bums like Castillo, Alonso, and Jay. The Twins acquire Cruz, Cron, and Schoop.

Three homers for Cruz, lol. All the more reason Abreu had better accept a team friendly deal if the Sox resign him.

McCann is still a good acquisition but I still think it's hilarious that some posters thought he somehow changed into a superstar after 4 mediocre years with the Tigers. Grandal will definitely be a guy the Sox should look at in the offseason and they can bring back McCann as his backup. It sure doesn't seem like the Sox want Collins catching much.

Regression is a b**** for both Gio and McCann.

WE SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED HIM DURING HIS RIDICULOUS HOT STREAK!!!

I won't be upset if they bring Abreu back for a year or two on a team friendly deal but the idea of Vaughn at 1B, Eloy to DH, and acquiring a better defensive LF'er with some pop is intriguing (Ozuna?)

You sold me. DEAL!!!

This junk is about all I’d offer.

True, but we really don’t know what we have in Mendick. Kemp could be a decent option starting at 2B until we call up Madrigal a few weeks into next season. Then, Kemp could assume the utility role.

Yes, they are all older than Mazara but they are better hitters. Ozuna Puig Castellanos

https://www.mlb.com/news/trevor-richards-labors-in-loss-to-white-sox “Many scouts also are looking at Nova, and Marlins closer Sergio Romo, who tossed a scoreless eighth.”

The only reason to like Mazara is his age. His performance has been consistent for four years and is weak.

“Weakly grounding out to the 2B with Yolmer.”

Mazara is basically Alex Rios Lite. He has been a consistent .745 OPS guy for years. I guess he could improve because he’s still young but what would anyone be willing to give up for him? The Rangers probably always want pitching. I’d give up Jonathan Stiever but that probably isn’t enough.

Why do the Sox fall in love with players and always try to acquire them even after they have proven themselves to not be as good as expected? Did anyone remember that Mazara was one of the guys who the Sox wanted for Sale but the Rangers wouldn’t part with him? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/07/white-sox-listening-on-chris-sale-jose-quintana-trade-deadline-rumors.html

We may as well resign Nova if that’s the route you want to take. No, they need to sign some good pitching, not take more fliers on trash. We have already seen year after year how that goes.
