I don’t agree with this. I have no faith in Fletcher but perhaps he breaks out? Didn’t Vargas do the same? Taylor is a sunk cost. He was $2 million bucks and he likely isn’t netting a prospect at the deadline. He can earn the rest of his money in the role he was intended to play when he was signed — a backup/fourth outfielder that can play all three OF spots. Regarding Robert, as much as I joke in the game threads about trading him immediately after every hit, it probably makes sense to wait until the deadline to try to trade him. While not likely, perhaps he gets hot in the next 7 weeks and ups his trade value.

I was looking at Charlotte’s roster to see what outfielder the Sox could call up in case they finally trade Luis Robert. I noticed Dru Baker is rocking an MILB line of: .198 / .315 / .245 / .560 Awesome pickup, Getzy!

Are you on a tape delay?

Agreed, but Taylor is awful as well and gone after this season. They may as well play someone younger than Taylor that the Sox still may have control of past this season. Hell, even Zach DeChoach. Why waste at bats on a bad 34 year old vet? You don’t understand that?

Only The Getz Knows…

If they trade Robert, they may as well call up Fletcher and let him play CF. There’s no reason to be starting 34-year old Taylor on a 1-year deal.

Trade Robert… NOW!!!

He’s the new White Sox mascot to replace Southpaw.

You will all be excited to know that the Sox managed to retain Bryse Wilson… “White Sox sent RHP Bryse Wilson outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Wilson had been designated for assignment earlier in the week. He passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra rotation depth for the White Sox at the Triple-A level.”

It’s a bad day either way. 🤣

Agreed, but it would be lottery tickets, not a prospect like Manzardo, and the Sox would probably have to eat some of Civale’s $8 million contract moving him to another team.

So you are comparing the current version of Civale to back when the Indians traded him to the Rays and he was 28 years old, had great numbers as a starter in the first half of 2023 (2.7 bWAR, 2.34 ERA), earning just $2.6 million that season, with another two years of team control? Uhhh no. Your comparison isn’t even close. I think you are bogarting the bong too much to even share it with @champagne030.

Elko may never be anything due to his propensity for strikeouts but what good does playing a 29-year old career minor league 1B like Noda do for a rebuilding team?

I just learned from this site last week that old bum veterans on cheap deals are the new market inefficiency… Tauchman, Slater, and Taylor are going to return hella prospects!!!

And both Getz and Venable are to blame. Getz kept him on the roster and Venable kept playing him.

And they aren’t worth a penny combined, just like in real life.

And lazy, per Tyler Osik.

Post of the week.

You needed to sign up for it between March 25th and March 31st. But for next season, if T-Mobile offers MLB.TV for free again (they have offered it free for every year since MLB and T-Mobile have had a deal together), you just sign up and create an MLB.com account with your email, and you will be able to use your Nord VPN to avoid White Sox game blackouts on MLB.TV by assigning a location away from Chicago. And of course, you can watch every other MLB game you want as well with MLB.TV. I have Windscribe VPN and assign my location to England to avoid local Chicago blackouts. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 😀 https://slickdeals.net/f/18128149-eligible-t-mobile-customers-2025-mlb-tv-season-stream-subscription-free-to-claim-via-t-mobile-t-life-app-valid-thru-4-1?src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue|Search%3AType%3Anormal|Search%3ASort%3Arelevance|Search%3AHideExpired%3Afalse

I wonder if Stone Pony is still going to talk about how Vaughn is ready to break out at any moment. That Osik dude was probably right and Vaughn is just a lazy ass that took his talent and career for granted.

Greatest animated GIF of all time…

Yes, I thought weather only affected satellite. When I had awful DirecTV it was in and out all the time when there was a storm.
