I posted in a different thread, but he went to my high school, I think it would be so cool if he pitched for the Sox! His older brother (roughly my age) was a 3rd rounder out of high school with 40 IP in the MLB and looked pretty solid for Texas's AAA affiliate this season, but is now playing in Korea. Fedde-esque revival in store I think. That guy Cody Bellinger also turned out to be pretty good I guess but signed with the wrong Chicago team. I'd definitely like to attend the game if/when he debuts. Seems likely at this point based on performance, but they'd have to protect him from the Rule 5 draft and there are several guys they have to make decisions on if this article is to believed: https://southsideshowdown.com/white-sox-could-lose-these-players-in-rule-5-draft-this-offseason Tanner McDougal, Mason Adams, Aldrin Batista, Shane Murphy, Peyton Pallette, Tyler Schweitzer, Duncan Davitt. Definitely a 40-man crunch for a bunch of guys who might just be marginal players. However, I can list some players who should not be on the 40-man going forward: Tyler Alexander, Tyler Gilbert, Bryan Hudson, Owen White, Elvis Peguero. Possibly Ellard, Eisert, Altavilla but they seem like fine depth pieces. I'd maybe try to trade Davis Martin and Jon Cannon.

Why wouldn't you keep those two players is my question. Is a 1.84 ERA bad especially when the player is a rookie? The three guys you mention + Wikelman Gonzalez and Steven Wilson are all good players making next to nothing. The left-handers is the question mark. There are a few of them in the system that seem to be pretty good. Also making nothing. Aroldis Chapman alone costs double what the potential 2026 bullpen would cost.

So you'd kick to the curb the rookie with the sub 2 ERA? Or the guy who will make ~$1mil next year with a 139 ERA+? I think with that context, 75% becomes becomes 38%.

This has to be one of the longest 9 inning games this season right? Irrespective of the delay. Now I can make dinner 😴

That fan is just collecting balls out there

Somehow this guy reduced his ERA. Shoulda piled on. Brooks is kicking himself.

They're setting the L record next year

We talk about our 'bad' bullpen but this is genuinely the worst one I've ever seen

omg

Why did he swing at that bro

I don't think so tbh in this case. More so bad defense. What I've watched, bad pitch calls too.

.440 babip before that nonsense.

Grant Taylor is the unluckiest guy in the world

Guess they go to the new guy? 🤞🤞🤞 oh s%*# it's Gilbert isn't it

This ump is screwing Quero

Welkommen lowers his ERA to 1.84.

What a fuckin play

yeah I have a bad feeling.

Holy cow. I feel bad for Twins fans. They have two pitchers left after this guy, one with a 4.5 ERA the other with a 19 ERA. I think they just concede this one. I probably just cursed Wikelman.

A new coaching staff would certainly benefit them. Somebody "has to pay" but also do the owners want "to pay" for a new staff?

I'd let Korey Lee do it when he inevitably pitches the 9th. It's only gonna get worse for the Twins bullpen.

It's a good point, but I wonder what they could have really done this soon after the deadline.

now he has an 8 ERA

The slurve is really nasty. 15ish MPH slower than his fastball and great movement.

Wikelman rocks
