I don’t think Detmers is mediocre but the Angels are definitely going to be overpaid for his services soon.

Huh? Not even close. They are middle of the MLB.

Mets are selling as anticipated. My prediction is that Getz acquires Holmes and Torrens.

We have an announcer that probably knows every SlamBall rule in the book but still wonders why a batter doesn’t swing on a 3-0 count with the bases loaded.

This is reasonable. But the 3-0 question that the Schriff-dawg keeps asking makes me think he is either trolling or is truly that baseball stupid. And I’m glad Stone finally erupted on him tonight. 🤣 Anyone that still thinks Schriffen is an improvement over Benetti, just remember this interaction tonight and realize that you were DEAD WRONG.

Jeebus dude, you just named 4 players better than Soler this year. You answered your own question.

I understand, but use your own thoughts and logic about the Sox needs. Are the Sox going to trade for Adell or Soler when both Peters and B. Montgomery have higher OPS’s than both of them? No. This takes less than a second to debunk if you reason it yourself. The MLB Network tied the rumor to the wrong team. I already posted the real rumor above. Here it is again, and I would bet my left nut that the White Sox aren’t one of those several teams, unless one of these two outfielders comes with a starting pitcher…

And it’s still an error. I’d put money on it. Networks make mistakes. Just like ESPN’s stupid ticker.

It’s about the Yankees, not the White Sox. Here’s the origin of the rumor…

It’s probably wrong. Common sense says so. They need starting pitching, a catcher, and relievers. They don’t need outfielders.

Yep. Really makes no sense for what the Sox need.

There’s just too much competition for starting pitching and the prices are going to be outrageous once we see them. The team on the north side is somehow 62-47 and they still desperately need another starter. And that’s just two teams in competition for the postseason in the same city. Unless he stupidly overpays massively in the way of prospects, I won’t blame Getz for whatever happens by August 3rd at 5 PM.

To milk the best possible return and every last dollar of his contract. The deadline isn’t until Monday.

I’m not doomsday posting. I just don’t think Getz wants to give up the prospect talent that it would take for Detmers and I don’t think Jerry will approve adding the salary for two rentals like Ray and Holmes. If I’m right, can I come back and s%*# talk you for being a homer? The funny thing is that you could look up your own posts at every trade deadline over the previous years and how you expected great things but ultimately ended up being disappointed in what the Sox came away with at the start of August. Jerry still owns the team afterall.

Detmers is completely different. He won’t be a Sox because of his low salary, control, and prospect demand that Getz won’t want to pay, which is understandable. They didn’t just acquire Urquidy just to pitch innings at Charlotte. He will pitch starter inning for the Sox at some point this season.

You’ll get one and Urquidy and pray that he pitches like it’s 2022. Regardless of what delusional @Chicago White Sox thinks, Jerry ain’t eating millions of dollars in salary on two rental dumps. They will also bank on Shane Smith returning.

Everyone is speculating at this point.

I still think Singer makes the most sense packaged with Stephenson. But Ray and Holmes will probably be somewhat reasonable in cost if the acquiring team takes on their bloated salaries.

@nrockway, stop being a cockway.

He’s definitely a nice runner up prize but the real winner is the Nationals. A middle of the rotation starter for 5 more years is as good as gold these days.

Well, it could have been that or getting off the juice.

Very strange. Why do the Orioles need or want the expiring contract of a backup catcher when they are out of it?

Yep.

Brutal, Colson. Absolutely brutal.
