8/8 Guardians @ White Sox
Gotta love when worthless Julks hits 2 doubles to make Getz think he’s good again…

- Jonathan Cannon optioned to AAA, Wikelman González promoted
Bring back Madrigal next season if you want an easy replacement for Rojas. He can play the same positions and won’t get $3.5 million. He will also OPS above .504. 🤮 What was Getz even thinking with this Rojas signing? He was a splurge bench signing for a contender, not a signing a non-contending team should ever be making with numerous younger players/prospects that could play the same positions already.- Jonathan Cannon optioned to AAA, Wikelman González promoted
No one knows. Probably not even Getz.- Robert stays...
Who knows? If Robert stays hot for the rest of the season and ends up with an .800+ OPS, 20 HR, and 40 SB, I wouldn’t be surprised if a contender is willing to trade for him in the offseason. 1-year at $22 million or 2-years at $40 million isn’t a bad deal for a 28-year old potential All-Star CF. You aren’t going to be able to sign a player like that for that kind of minimal contract length and money in free agency.- Adrian Houser traded to TB for former top prospect Curtis Mead
I assume Ramos will replace Rojas on the roster next season, without burning $3.5 million in the fire pit.- Adrian Houser traded to TB for former top prospect Curtis Mead
Per FanGraphs:- The Lenyn Sosa Thread
@chitownsportsfan looking like a genius for starting this thread now. 👍🏻- 8/6 Gamethread
Gus Varland also DFA’ed to add Amaya to the 40-man roster.- 8/6 Gamethread
Probably doesn’t matter, but Cannon is likely just a jizz mopper who has obviously been getting lucky over almost 2 seasons with his 1.40 WHIP and mediocre hit, K, and BB rate.- 8/6 Gamethread
- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
Andrew Vaughn — steal of the century. 🤣- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
They finally have a chance to get both Sosa and Mead in the lineup with Vargas out and Venable wastes a start on Rojas.- Robert stays...
Does Nightengale not know how low the starting payroll is going to be for the start of next offseason? Maybe he isn’t as tight with Jerry as we all thought?- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
It will be a horrifying result. What do the Sox need most right now? A power hitting 1B.- Would you be on board with a rebrand when Ishbia takes over?
The Sox have one of the coolest logos of all time. Remember all the Starter gear that rappers wore from the Sox and Raiders back in the 80’s and 90’s? We need a good team, not a new logo.- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
This probably just proves that Osik’s comments were accurate. This is likely still just a fluke hot streak, but perhaps Vaughn didn’t take things seriously until the Sox sent him down to AAA and traded him for a mediocre pitcher.- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
He has literally been Bondsian…- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
He should probably just play regardless of matchups. We all know Rojas is gone after this season, if he even lasts that long.- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
At this point in the season, why would you ever start Rojas, especially over a guy who will be here next season in Mead? And the even bigger question is — why hasn’t Rojas been DFA’ed yet?- 8/5 Sox vs. Mariners 8:40PM CT
Pretty sure one is an MLB pitcher. The other is a toothless bum that became the Cubs unofficial mascot.- Bryan Hudson up, Owen White down, Elko reinstated, then optioned

Forgot about this rule change. I still think that some team would claim Civale if the Sox put him on waivers. - Jonathan Cannon optioned to AAA, Wikelman González promoted
