Also let me add that if you can use Madrigal as the center piece in a trade to get an "ace" with 3 or more years of control, then you absolutely should consider it.

yep if other organizations place high value on guys like Collins, Rutherford, Hansen and Dunning, now is the time to move some of them as they could easily become "non-prospects" after next season if they struggle and/or continue having injury issues. I still am upset they didn't go harder after Yelich last year.

His skills seem better fit for CF than 3rd. 3rd seems like a disaster waiting to happen for him as he was at his worst when having to field grounders off to his side due to not having the softest of hands.

Schoop to 2nd, Manny to 3rd, Yoan to CF. Again it’s a longshot but makes about as much sense as being interested in Nelson Cruz.

Schoop was simply awful with the Brewers. I will say that he is extremely close with Machado, so if the Sox show interest in him and Cruz, it could be intriguing.

Agreed, and IMO Machado is target 1a, 1b, 1c, etc

Numerous Chicago media members were saying during the season that Theo and company were fed up with Russell’s antics off the field, and not just the abuse accusation.

I would use it to say the 2018 season sucked for the Sox

Avi also played all last season on a damaged knee and most of the year with a bad hamstring

Anderson was a good pick

Also, where does the rumor come from they are shopping Rodon? I haven’t seen anything to suggest that.

There was nothing wrong with the pick, no matter what happens.

And if WSD is right, the Sox have never cared for his offseason work ethic

Thor comes to mind

Doubt they could afford a top free agent and then the day care costs for Russell’s kids

To me, in order for the Sox to increase their chances of getting Bryce from 0.0% to 0.1%, they would have to bring in some upper echelon players prior to him signing here (even if Sox offer the most).

Good luck to him playing in that spacious outfield

Yeah if they let him go, better be because they’re bringing in someone on a multi-year deal and not just creating at bats for Delmonico, etc

This seems so similar to a few years ago where we thought Sox could get Cespedes and then Bob said how Sox wouldn’t go past 3 years.

Haha exactly what I predicted

Btw, Cano might be the only one in baseball who hustles less than Machado. Can’t imagine Ricky getting along well with him in terms of style of play.

Under coop would be even top 80 mph? Felix is pretty much finished. He will forever be Brian Anderson’s batting practice pitcher.

Yes I would say Yolmer is almost definitely the 2nd biggest fan favorite behind Abreu.

Nope, and to be honest, Yolmer is easily one of the 3 most popular players for Sox fans and someone like Donaldson won’t make your casual fan start attending games.

A lot of money to pay for a “possible” trade chip with massive health issues of late.
