Poor guy, that's f ing awful. Minor bone but probably ends his season. Maybe fall league/winter ball?

Arizona Complex League is finished for the Sox. 19-41 is second worst record by 1/2 game and they had the worst run differential at -135. Hopefully this years draft and some additions from the DSL make it better next year.

Bergolla was hit by pitch in the ACL game last night and was removed from the game. Anyone know anything?

I don't mind the idea of Ray. He is due 8 million for the rest of the season. For some teams that amount is nothing. Does it matter for the Sox/JR? If you take full salary on then prospect cost shouldn't be awful.

I think we are in thread the needle mode. We need to add, yet any additions will create a roster crunch so hopefully there can be some subtractions as well. Hayes and Pereira will finish rehab and don't have options, while Perez can go to the minors, you still have one extra player. Lottery tickets are better than nothing. This sounds crazy with our ownership but if you aren't maxing out your MLB budget, (we are opening a DSL facility and I believe adding a second team) gaining international pool money (only gives you the right to spend more of your own money) might help stock a second team with someone of interest. I have a feeling that some of our increased attendance revenue was involved in the ability to acquire pick #34 and spend the roughly extra 3 million so not sure how much money we add in contracts. If we add a pitcher or two plus a catcher upgrade over Romo, who goes off the 24 man besides Romo? If they don't have options, get something/anything for them. All this while not destroying the clubhouse chemistry/magic of which there is no way to quantify. I guess Schultz because of his options, may be sent down. Mason Adams is looking close and Shane Smith/Thorpe maybe do something. McDougal and possibly Hagen Smith have been mentioned as bullpen additions. You can squint and even see Iriarte, Pallette, Gonzalez as possibilities which all further complicate the roster. Whatever happens most will scream we paid too much. I will look at Jared Kelley (3 million) and Wes Kath (1.8 million) and remember there is a reason they are called prospects not sure things.

Bergolla siting in ACL but 1 ab then removed? Anyone see/hear anything? Mason Adams 5ip shutout! Relievers all prospects auditioning. Pallette good , McDougal and Gonzalez not

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/22/2026 https://www.mlb.com/milb/scores/all/all/whitesox?affiliateId=mlbcom-milb Mason Adams in what seems like an important start.

Agree. Kath was overslot 1.8 million. Kelley got 3 million. A reminder that not all of these draft picks are going to become stars or even MLB players.

I’ve wondered about Turner getting a shot. Need a 40 man but could drop Romo or something

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/21/2026 https://www.mlb.com/milb/scores/all/all/whitesox?affiliateId=mlbcom-milb Full slate.

Wes Kath 2-2 with a hr in the ACL. I didn’t realize he was still in the organization.

It is hard to look at the baseball draft by individual picks. Because of the large variance in signing bonuses versus a picks slot value, the draft is a bit of a puzzle with all the picks being pieces of the puzzle. High school players have more leverage with the ability to go to college. NIL now gives all players a bit more leverage unless you have exhausted your eligibility. The 11th round pick may have had an asking price some teams couldn’t maneuver their pool to reach or after having a night to think about it, he lowered his number. If there was more question about his signing it would potentially push him out of the top ten rounds since you lose that money from your pool if they don’t sign. The Sox didn’t have to count his first 150 k against their pool as a pick after round ten. They spent within 50k of max before draft pick penalties so they couldn’t have gotten to his bonus if he was taken earlier. Because of all the dealing, some people look/rank a class by bonuses. Prosek would then be our second pick. Ranking by paid bonus sometimes gets a class list closer to their perceived talent.

Pereira 1-3 at Charlotte. Several options starting to work their way back.

Drew Thorpe 2 scoreless in ACL.

Jaden woods with an inauspicious debut and LaCombe at AA.

Probably a combination of everything, talent, coaching, and facilities. With the new complex opening soon, hopefully the facilities part is handled. Hope it comes with the necessary bells and whistles.
