Need three legs of the stool. The draft, prospect trades, and the international kids.

Thank our lucky stars for Miedroth being the entire return for Crochet. Feeling great.

Do they have what it takes? What do they truly have in Braden Montgomery, Coleson, and the barely closeted Murakami and Vargas? Kind of pivotal.

Don’t make me quote Rosie Perez again.

No more or less far fetched as an idea that could potentially work than bringing up say….Hagan Smith

Let him open for Castillo starts lol

That checks out

When the dugouts empty, he’ll maintain the chaos

Jerry?

I’m not paying this guy mostly just to be a DH, just to find a place to stick Vargas. Everyone trying to stuff 10 pounds of s%*# into a 5 pound bag should stop. Some hard decisions have to be made, and then executed.

That’s ok. Thorpe is next. This is why you spend all the money and time with these guys. Now, sink or swim, and don’t stress about tossing them in

What’s the expression. Don’t confuse activity with progress. Something like that. Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. There’s another.

Probably not. Maybe not. Sometimes you just gotta put the horses out there and let em run however.

Reinsdorf is often cheap. But that’s not the problem here. Fans want to sell the farm for ‘26. They are not going to be reasonable.

Define a “lot harder” though. If you mean trading low on talent, that’s never been a good productive idea despite how often it’s done. Especially in the long run. The Sox weren’t in great position to deal. And they may have lost a trade (so far) sacrificing a body to the fans and media.

I don’t quite understand why teams dick around trading for guys like Castillo instead of just bringing up arms from the farm. Times like this truly make me wonder if teams do get intimidated by press and fans that are bleeding and pleading for deadline deals.

Remember when people were like, bring up the guy that can’t throw strikes? No way! Way.

Objectively, the White Sox have few reasons to extend players they already have control over, along with a pipeline of young players behind them. Although Mune is a little bit different case. Mune might get done if he’s on a relative value deal.

I don’t see the Sox extending any player now, that they already have future control over. And they are also seeking a value deal with Mune

There’s this excercise being done that precludes such and such other options in CF (or other positions) as if we have a done deal based on what happened this season. I would love to know where this crystal ball level certitude comes from. The magic store. Everything and everyone is on the table, fluid, and also a suspect. Including the late bloomer out of center field. Otherwise, lets just sign him for $300 million this winter. Is anyone willing to do that? No. Anything is possible.

The leader of the free world cleared his desk to rename a lake (that he has no control over). Therefore it should not be a stretch to believe that every Canadian and American has this issue as their full priority if it’s this important.

Some people are getting married to him. Time will tell.
