No, so he's another one

Who is left amongst the rentals? Singer, Rogers...

Wow, hefty price

This and the Thorpe tweet makes me think Getz is shopping for a CA and SP with Thorpe and the lead return.

Varsho to Astros

Bubic to Dodgers

If Thorpe goes, I'd assume one of Lodolo or Abbott are coming back.

With the Nats trading Garcia, you have to think they trade Griffin

Rogers and Rutschman please

I will reserve judgment until Getz is done but this feels like a meh prospect hugging move to me. A first place team typically doesn’t trade for reclamation projects. Getz knew what prospects he was comfortable trading, asked around to see what he could get, and took the best offer. Castillo still throws hard and has a s deceptive wind up, so maybe Bannister and company can do something with that. This also means 4 rotation spots for 2027 are filled with a backlog of Shane Smith, Hagen, Sandlin, Schultz, McDougal, Thorpe and Adams for #5. I wonder if we move any of them.

Same. Trading any prospect is going to sting, but that guy has done nothing but rake at every level in his professional debut.

Martin, Kay and Burke are locks for the rotation next year. We have Shane Smith, Hagen Smith, Thorpe, Adams, Schultz, Sandlin, McDougal in the wings. I have to imagine at least 3 of those guys are dealt. Eventually, won't you run into a 40 man crunch or have to keep them in AAA?

Never saw this until today. BTV charges, this is free. https://rosternomics.com/

Hicks has started getting more leverage. He's been lights out last 30 days. No way I move him.

Preller trades don't count

This doesn't mean "don't be afraid to trade prospects because they don't pan out". This means "teams don't trade their good prospects".

Skubal then defeats the Tigers in the World Series

“Like Detmers” doesn’t necessarily mean they are trying for Detmers

You only have Mune for 1.5 more years. You can’t assume anymore than that. It would be great if 100% of our players were home grown but it wouldn’t hurt to trade some and bring in somebody. You need at least one more SP, assuming Schultz keeps his spot. You have Shane Smith, Adams, Thorpe, McDougal, Sandlin. Trade two of those for a known commodity.

Luis Castillo makes tons of sense. Shouldn’t cost a lot prospect wise. Has consistently thrown ~170/180 innings. Signed through 2027 with 2028 vesting option, so not a ton of long term financial risk. Still throwing hard, but mostly blue savant page. Maybe the Sox staff could turn that around. Floor of a 1.5-2.0 war horse.

As I see, it, this is the Sox SP depth, all with varying levels of availability (injuries/rehabbing). I feel like there is backlog that we could easily trade from without impacting our long term competitiveness. Not a ton of value outside our fandom, but you could at least get a solid rental (Ray/Soroka/Gray/Peralta) with any name below Shultz. Martin Burke Kay Schultz Fedde Sandlin Adams Shane Smith Tanner McDougal Hagen Smith Drew Thorpe Davitt Shane Murphy Ky Bush

I am going to turn the tables and ask, if you were the opposing GM, what White Sox would you want for... Sonny Gray Michael Wacha Clay Holmes (injured, may come back before the trade deadline, has a player option he probably won't take) Reid Detmers

My guess is Getz will trade for bullpen arms and keep running the young guys out there. Assuming we make the playoffs, it's typically a bullpen battle.

Not a big name and he's a rookie, but how about Walbert Urena. Sox could do Jacob Gonzalez for Urena straight up. He's got a really pretty Savant page.

SURPRISE!
