Takes 2 to trade. Discouraging but not necessarily Hahn’s fault. These teams are likely trying to bend us over.

I will take it right to the bank.

When Vaughn finally hits, and Kopech slides into the rotation, Sox fans get their wings. It truly represents moving the needle

Wow. Just like the NBA?

I guess we hope lineup updates will fix us. To an extent. But will need to plug the bullpen leak. Well need both to feel good. Expecting a starting pitcher run like 2005 in the playoffs is unrealistic. The team is sort of still raw and unfinished? So I won’t be too disappointed if we get run in the ALCS.

Pretty much

Prob is Lopez would have little value to 2b sellers

The Sox still have to endure the bumslayer rep

Ain’t scurred. Updates unnecessary.

Rodriguez, no. Ramos, no. Burger, no. Kanny kids, no. Kopech, no. Crochet, no. Cespedes, no. Sanchez, no. Kath, no. Montgomery, no. Sheets is only possible because he’s only a first baseman. Even then I shudder

Were you really lol? all about it being for a rental. Keep up.

Its going so well Eloy and Robert can only screw it up lol.

Im pretty much there with you.

We not paying the Cubs tax.

Lucroy saw the writing on the wall probably. Probably wanted an opportunity to latch on to another team while he could. But yeah, the numbers seem tough depending on how quick Grandal recovers. I would rather have him behind the plate under the microscope pressure the team is under than a rookie. Especially if he was needed in the post season.

Any of that besides Burger. Premium position upside prospect is worth more than for a 2 month rental. Thinking perhaps some of those names combined with one of our relievers previously mentioned should be the most we should do. We are good enough to hang tough . Id go Reylo, a reliever, Adolfo, Lambert. If Sheets gets involved then you might keep Lambert. But then, the the deql becomes more worthwhile.

Rodriguez, no. Ramos, no. Burger, no. Kanny kids, no. Kopech, no. Crochet, no. Cespedes, no. Sanchez, no. Kath, no. Montgomery, no. Sheets is only possible because he’s only a first baseman. Even then I shudder.

Throughout the years they have been. Truth is the often trade their high prospects, but they know more are coming. Not sure the White Sox are in that boat, like at all. The way not to build to that is to dump from a limited supply for rentals

Lucroy is available. Why have we not signed him yet. Hard to cut someone else, but he seems tailor made right now over Zabala

I call it fear. I know we will keep coming back if we keep our best talent. We are already here. And we are already good. Stay good.

Exactly. We've got to drive a hard bargain if we are a top organization.

Exactly. That’s strength, not desperation to make a bad deal for a rental. Thats how not to be the Yankees. Leave the kids alone. Even the ones not here yet. Be steong in the long run. There is never a good time to make a bad deal. A 2 month rental for just a little better chance is like being afraid we’ll never be back in the playoffs. Weakness. Build for the long run. Im not saying dont make a deal. Just dont make a bad one with the best young talent we have. Trade Marshall and Foster all we want.

The Quintana Eaton trades are the whole idea. Not to be on the opposite end of those deals. People are lining up to trade potential all star talent, or above average good young players for a 2 (hopefully 3, hopefully) month rental. That’s just weakness rather than strength. The Sox aren’t yet the Yankees with an endless pipeline. Lets try to get there rather than not.

I remember some guy named Sosa. Marcus Semien is good enough that well just say it was epic horrors. Sosa and Tatis put the White Sox in the all time highlight reel of bad prospect trades by themselves
