i'm heading in later if i get one i'll message you and can mail it

just last year the mariners traded for Matthew Boyd who had yet to pitch at that point of the season. He made their playoff roster despite not being a reliever. The giants last year signed trevor rosenthal on July 21st for $4.5 million then traded him 10 days later to the brewers for tristan peters. He never pitched that year and hadn't pitched since 2020.

actually nice little fun update one month in on that big group from the International Period: En Fuego (also stiven above) - Javier Mogollon / 17 / Venezuela .282 / .354 /.394 1 HR, 3 2b, 20% K-rate, 10% BB rate BA: Venezuelan shortstop Javier Mogollon signed with the White Sox for $75,000. Mogollon, 17, is 5-foot-8, 160 pounds, and while he isn’t that big, his offensive game makes him an exciting sleeper to watch. His righthanded swing is short, quick, clean and balanced, allowing him to barrel balls at a high clip against live pitching. Despite his stature, Mogollon isn’t a slap hitter either, with the ability to generate startling power for his size, even clearing the batter’s eye at the White Sox academy in the Dominican Republic. He’s also at least a plus runner. - Abraham Nunez / 17 / DR .348 / .464 / .591 3 HR, 5 2b, 10% K-rate, 20% BB rate ? BA: Nuñez Jr., is 17 and signed with the White Sox for $700,000. He’s 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, an athletic outfielder with good bat speed who performed well during amateur tournaments in the Dominican Republic. Scouts highest on Nuñez liked his bat control from the right side and strike-zone judgment, with the strength projection and bat speed to project his gap power to grow. He’s a solid-average runner who moves well enough for now to develop in center field, though as he fills out he might shift to a corner. Normal D'Angelo Tejada / 17 / DR .243 / .308 / .300 4 2B, 6% BB rate, 25% K rate Chilly Juan Uribe Jr

maybe that's why we've had to pay over slot for college players in round two.

Stiven Flores another nice day in DSL (3-6, SB, R) From BA: Stiven Flores, C, Venezuela: Flores, 17, signed for $250,000. He’s 5-foot-11, 180 pounds and a potential power-hitting catcher from the right side. His offensive game stands out the most right now, with a chance to hit 20-plus home runs and drive the ball well to all fields. He has solid catch-and-throw skills for his age, too, with an average arm. Still no homers, but a 1:1 K:BB ratio.

good question. Maybe, Bryce Bush was still listed as active similarly last year though it was rumored he'd retired (and he had). But hard to know since we get no info on injuries and retirements are usually random tweets from like hometown newspapers.

Of course they will. Sox literally traded a guy who was on injured list at the time and didn't even play for rest of season to a contender looking for a reliever.

he was one of my favorite players in baseball just as a fan follow. But in 10 years I probably won't even remember he was on our team nor will the rest of the league. Add him to the list of forgettable stops on this unbearably boring team.

was he officially signed?

it works pretty well if you sing the first part as the whiney voice in taking back sunday and the second part as the screamo voice in taking back sunday.

ANd I just got the Joe Kelly to the IL push notification...classique.

Of course there is a return for Hendriks. It just depends what people consider a return.

He wasn't really a prodigious power guy though. I don't know this all gives me flashbacks to the arguments that we couldn't develop high schoolers or athletes when really we were barely drafting them and the few we did just happened not to pan out as is common with draft picks.

I do have moments of wanting to believe. It requires believing this shooting coach turning around every single athletic single dimensional wing into a top 3 pt shooter with ferocious defense. But that lasts a few seconds.

And in both cases its clear when you have that as your top goal you aren't going to find the talent to even get you there.

There is a high probability all of the first rounders fail. And we certainly have not been drafting for any sort of power profiles, which is not the same as players that should have power profiles based off of body but like to slap it to 2nd base.

I actually think this handling of colas is pretty decent. Gave him a shot, was horrible, sent him down, bring him up with success. Not bad. You see the braves making early call ups on guys but also always letting them know they are in competition and need to improve. Vaughn Grissom was damn good last year. They took Arcia to start season over him. They had a good catcher, they traded for a much better one. It does a lot. You can't ever stop in baseball like the white sox do constantly under Hahn.

AJ Preller?

power is a huge huge glaring need thou.

Lol, pretty much Middleton.

We aren't trading cheap players of value. Cost cutting will be the goal here, not "re-setting".

Holy hell did trayce thompsons pumpkin hit midnight again or what

It is remarkable how he has entered with this approach as a prep draft pick…in this org
