Not so sure about that, but we will likely never know either way.

This is why some posters were interested in Shaw, even though the Sox infield is full. But Conforto is still good, right?

Nope, worse. Acuna. 🤣

Apparently Heyman is still on Boras’s payroll to sell even his crappiest of free agents.

He’s old, bad, and cheap. Not surprising.

The Cubs dumped Tucker for an older and less expensive bat. The White Sox think spending $34 million plus a posting fee on a player is a big deal. The fact is that all of these teams could spend more if they wanted to but still aren’t. You should be more upset with those teams than the Dodgers who make their fans happy by spending big.

Embarrassing. Jerry is a joke.

Not to them apparently. Oh to be a Dodgers fan…

You’re having even bigger wet dreams than @Chicago White Sox these days, I see.

Tucker to Mets confirmed.

OBP is still a thing. So is Tucker’s usual SLG.

Sounds like he may decide on a team today.

Castellanos’s postseason stats in 2025? He was good in the postseason in 2023 and 2024, but not last year. https://www.mlb.com/player/nick-castellanos-592206?stats=career-p-hitting-mlb&year=2025 4 games 15 at bats 1 run 2 hits (both doubles) 0 HR 3 RBI 0 BB 3 SO .133 AVG / .133 OBP / .267 SLG / .400 OPS

Bellinger.

Does Conforto have any real options left to get near full-time at bats with any teams out there? He’s a Boras client but he’s gotta be desperate at this point. I’m not sure he is even worth it these days but he could get at bats in a platoon with Pereira in RF and alternate at LF and DH with Benintendi. EDIT: I forgot he would block Baldwin from playing time so probably not worth it.

Yeah, I realize Castellanos could probably be acquired for almost nothing with the Phillies picking up a big portion of his $20 million salary, but we can’t joke about having to play Benintendi but then look to acquire and play Castellanos.

Ewww. He can’t play defense and his hitting is getting just as bad.

Benintendi is always the problem, haha. Maybe you could get playing time for both Sosa and Mead at LF and DH if Benintendi was not here. But then again, Benintendi could also outperform both guys. Quite the conundrum. So maybe a trade makes sense even more due to the roster crunch, even with the risk involved. Benintendi isn’t going anywhere.

I don’t think so either — at least enough value to make it worth trading him.

It was pretty good. The random craziness is a bit unbelievable but I guess that’s why it’s a movie.

I don’t know how accurate Baseball Reference is but they have him earning $887,500 total in his entire MLB career from 1973 to 1982. I’m sure he also made some money from incentives and bonuses as well. He probably made some money from his Playgirl shoot too. 🤣 Obviously the value of a dollar was a lot higher back then so if he invested wisely, he should be fine. I’m sure he has made more money in his second career as a sportscaster than his playing days.

I can see both sides of the argument. If you can get a decent return for Sosa, perhaps it may be worth it to deal him and give Mead more playing time since he can play all the same positions as Sosa and has had success hitting in the minors. However, Sosa actually hit in the majors last year while Mead has yet to do so. If you trade Sosa and go with Mead, you may not get much out of it. Sosa may not bring much back and Mead could continue to flounder. Also, Mead only has one more year of control than Sosa. I guess it would all depend on the potential return for Sosa to assess whether the above risk is worth taking.

Thus is the life of a Sox fan. However, if Shaw is already considered to be a dumpster dive, then the Sox don’t have much hope.

He could even post the s%*# talk to us as he is driving his comfy Jeep Grand Wagoneer on the south side.
