Incredibly insensitive. We have no idea what he is going through . You cannot judge a book by its cover. It could end up being the best decision for him when all is said and done.

Both are asymptomatic . Experts say someone could return if symptom free in 10 days and fever free for 3 days . MLB says 2 negative tests to make everyone feel comfortable being around them I suppose. But as the expert said you could test positive for months and no longer be contagious or have symptoms. So basically Yoan could be sitting at home for months waiting for 2 negative tests in a row or be back in 10 days or less while having no symptoms the whole time.

Scooter Gennett is still available but he thinks he's worth $5M so prorate that down and what is it ? Plus he hasn't played too much 3rd base in his career.Bats left throws right .

Buster Posey has opted out.

Maybe, just seems the whole Moncada situation is strange. Back in May there was a story in the Sun-Times about his 1 years old daughter getting sick and being hospitalized with worries of it being Covid. Turns out it was just a cold, https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports-saturday/2020/5/16/21257977/despite-family-scare-white-sox-yoan-moncada-ok-to-play-in-safe-environment Bunch of quotes from Moncada about being scared and the virus could be life threatening. Now combine that with how Moncada was hangng out in some seedy bar in Indiana recently and either his concerns about the virus were just BS and he was acting pretty irresponsibly going to that bar or the bar story isn't true.

March camp or July camp ?

We are all just going around and around here. It could be one thing or a combination of things ranging from mental, physical or personal ; They are all concerns as they should be in a season unlike any other we have ever witnessed. Throw in a young man fairly early in a marriage , social issues, career issues, health issues now it's some kind of retaliation against the Sox ? The poor kid just has way too much on his plate now to avoid it all to play baseball. He might be making very wise and mature choice when we look back on it.

So are we assuming those are our 2 Covid cases ?

There's not a chance Lopez isn't in the rotation. After Keuchel, Gonzalez and Giolito he is the only one with at least a full year of starting under his belt and should be in the rotation. Why screw with him ? He still has plenty of upside as a starter. You can't judge him or put him in long relief just because he hasn't been an All-Star before he was 26 years old. Rodon coming off rehab no innings in ST, Cease inexperience, Gonzalez got nothing done is ST due to shoulder. It's going to be Giolito, Keuchel Cease Lopez and the 5th spot a toss up between Gonzalez and Rodon, with a slight edge to Gonzalez.

Really appreciate you being the conscience of Sox talk but this is what you do on a message board. Stuff happens to an important player and we speculate because there is nothing definitive . Sucks we all sound like a bunch of gossipy old hens but if we don't do it here we're going to do it with our friends so might as well do it here too.

That's what I was thinking. He had already pitched an inning this spring and threw it 101 , 3 up 3 down. Maybe he was really sore after that and subsequent throwing sessions didn't go well.

Poor kid is a mess. I was very surprised he got married so soon after a breakup . It was like the girl he married was a rebound chick. You never marry a rebound chick. Now she's pregnant, maybe a divorce, his mental issues, coming back from major arm surgery, Covid and BLM weighing on his mind.

They aren't playing full games . Right now it's 4-5 innings max for intrasquad games. They will probably increase it until they are ready to go 9 for the 3 exhibition games starting July 19. Just 3 exhibition games before the season starts that same week July 24.

They don't have many OF's in camp so you are going to keep seeing it in intrasquad games.

By the way , congrats and good luck.

Pasadena here. Hi8is is in Santa Clarita Valley.

No one's mentioned it but Wells pissed us all off by suggesting Big Frank was a big baby by not playing through injury. Then a few days after all that Thomas's father died after a long illness so he was dealing with that too. http://www.espn.com/mlb/news/2001/0504/1191141.html It was shortly after that when Frank got shut down for the rest of the season. https://tht.fangraphs.com/tht-live/10th-anniversary-of-david-wells-most-asinine-moment-5-3-11/

I hope your new bride is happy about not being #1 on your honeymoon plans .

By the way Sox on 35th was the only place I could find a complete as possible recap of the game based off of tweets. It has all the video highlights from those tweets. https://www.soxon35th.com/2020/07/09/results-from-thursdays-white-sox-intrasquad-scrimmage/

Didn't see this anywhere from Sox on 35th which I think covers the Sox as well as any website. This is an interview with Danny Mendick and is on their Youtube page.

https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-ennpq-e275 Sox on 35th podcast.

https://www.si.com/mlb/whitesox/news/gio-gonzález-a-white-sox-cultural-retrospective This from a few days ago includes a 16 minute video interview with Gio Gonzalez and Sox media members Ballatini, Fegan , Duber Levine etc, GG talks about how his shoulder feels , how he might be used , the other starters ( remember he knew Giolito and Lopez with the Nats ) and wondering if he will ever throw a pitch as a White Sox, in jest of course.

Emergency 3rd baseman should Moncada not be available ?

That crossed my mind but at what age do you start taking that kind of action or thinking you only have a short time left ? No one is guaranteed even the next day. A person could start thinking that way at any age especially if family has a history of certain illnesses. 65 ? 70 ? 75 ? 80 ? Reinsdorf is 84 . I don't think the age thing holds any water. With him it's always a business decision 1st and foremost ,with other reasons secondary. I don't think he ever felt he was in a position to do things for his own benefit at least in a way that involves spending a lot of money. For his and the Board of Directors benefit spending less money was usually the case.

All you had to do was read the list of relievers a few posts previous By Chicago White Sox . No skimming posts
