I’d still like to see what Sosa can do just because of his one last hot month, but I am pretty sure Lord Meidroth will be taking over 2B eventually anyways.

Wow.

You made the stupid comparison first, not me. “has more false allegations than a rapper.”

Like Diddy? He’s going away for a long time my friend. 🤣

I’m more interested in the Goblin Gobbler now.

Egg on your face is trading a pitching prospect for an outfielder that has no role a year later. I’d give props to Getz if he somehow managed to nab Canario at this point. What was done earlier in the offseason is done. But he has a chance to improve the team for the future. Something guys like Tauchman and Slater don’t do. If you have to eat a million or two by cutting Slater, who cares?

Who cares? Getz is in charge of player acquisitions, not some minority owner. Maybe he should grow a fucking sack and cut off this twisted family and friends with benefits deal. We aren’t trying to sign Machado again and the minority owner can find another buddy in Chicago to party with instead of dbag Clevinger.

Quintana just turned down the Pirates latest contact offer so they signed Andrew Heaney for $5.25 million instead, so I am guessing Quintana wants more that that kind of money which the Sox aren’t offering.

I’m upset because this means @Balta1701 is likely gone for another year. Remember how there were questions about how Clevinger could have been traded in 2023 but some posters argued that his $4 million dollar buyout was preventing teams from having interest in him, rather than his off-the-field issues? Well, it is now the third year in a row and literally no other team will touch this guy but the Sox. I think we officially know the answer now. This douchebag is now 34 years old. He brings zero upside for a 100 loss team. Even if he actually pitches well rather than getting injured yet again, no other team wants his ass. Clevinger is just another sh1t-stain besmirching this bottom of the barrel organization. He is the load of barnacles that get stuck to a boat, that the boat owner can never scrape off successfully. Getz truly is a grade A jackass. It’s too bad he isn’t obsessed with actual good players, just cheap old vets and jagoffs like this. Getz should be working on acquiring Canario, not this waste of DNA.

I see from your profile that you are in central Ohio. It’s probably too far away from you, but have you tried to pick up the CHSN channel over-the-air with an antenna? Their website says they have a channel available in Edgerton, Ohio. Edgerton, OH: WINM, 12.3

Haha, I just read a Cubs board and a poster said it would have made a ton of sense in hindsight for the Cubs to retain Tauchman rather than non-tender him had they known they would eventually have to DFA Canario, since outfield depth is now an issue for them. I’d be all for that move. Fletcher and Colas could still have life as the remaining lefty hitting right fielders and Jerry would even save a little over a million bucks!

Thank goodness for that annual deal.

So does Canario, along with way more power and being 3 years younger. Perhaps they’d take back a pitcher from us that they like more than a reliever on their 40-man roster, but I’d be surprised if the Cubs don’t trade Canario for minor league prospect(s) that don’t require 40-man spot(s).

The Sox have signed three free agent outfielders to play in front of him. It isn’t happening here. It was a bad trade to begin with but Fletcher has shown nothing anyways. The dude is the outfielder version of Madrigal.

It still doesn’t make sense. The Cubs cut Canario to make room on their 40-man roster for the Justin Turner signing, which is now full again. The Cubs would have to DFA yet another player to make room for Colas. And ultimately, why would the Cubs want Colas instead of just DFA’ing a different player originally instead of Canario and keeping Canario from the start?

The only reason the Cubs cut Canario in the first place is because they needed a 40-man roster spot to add Justin Turner. They wouldn’t want a guy that would require yet another 40-man roster spot in either Colas or Fletcher.

I think I saw that Canario’s most recent ranking in the Cubs farm system was #14. But he is also out of options. I can’t imagine the Cubs expecting a very big return for him.

Quin’s link is missing the Sox Rule 5 Draft pick from the Brewers — pitcher Shane Smith. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/roster/40-man

Perhaps Robert is dealt. But also, injuries happen in ST. See what happens. I’d nab the talent and worry about the roster decision later.

3 homers in 343 plate appearances. Fletcher has about as much power as Madrigal. He has no future as a starting outfielder. Also, good point. Maybe no team even claims Fletcher and you can outright him to AAA like Julks. Either way, I doubt he’s any big loss other than extra depth.

The dude is aging out quickly to be of any value to the next good White Sox team. The Sox sure don’t seem to have much faith in him either, after signing three free agent outfielders that will eat up any playing time he could have had.

I would’ve given him one last shot over guys like Tauchman and Slater but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone soon. The Sox don’t seem to be big fans of him.

I think he makes the most sense. He’s not really good enough defensively to play CF, he has zero power, and will turn 28 at the end of the season. Essentially, Mena for Canario. Haha. Canario’s power potential is worth taking a shot on.

The same level of guys that were traded for Gilbert and Booser. Canario hit well in the Dominican Winter League. 95 PA 79 AB .304 / .411 / .544 / .955 4 HR 16 RBI 13 BB 19 SO

What a travesty that would have been for our 100 loss team.
